We’re in Wales. This is the sixth country I will be running a race in. Wales is also a new country on my travel list.

Beautiful, cold, hard. I think that summarizes my Brabantse Kluis Trail in Aarle-Rixtel in three words.

My legs feel good. I just went out for a run with Sara. OK, maybe not the wisest thing to do the day before a trailrun.

I’m finally updating my training schedule. I have to admit, I lost sight of it in the last month.

I have been lazy today by not training, but I will make it up to myself by doing Yin yoga this evening for a happy body.

It’s the day after my longest run in my second running life and I feel good. I’m also thinking I’m getting old.

What I like about running: everybody competes against her/himself. Sometimes it’s fun to know how slow I am as a runner.
