Running and hiking is fun


It's been a while since the last post. Running is going great, I finished the C25K as planned and kept running regularly two or three times per week, at some point starting to do slightly longer routes. And then, all of a sudden, last week I went out for an easy 6 km run, however half way through I decided to make it 8 km and a bit later I thought I may as well do 10 km. Slow average pace of 6'47", pretty constant  pace throughout (max 6'42" and min 6'47") despite a few unexpected ups and downs in the unplanned route. Even better, when I finished, I was tired but not exhausted and definitely proud of myself, quite some progress in the last months.

At the same time I have been doing some longer walks each weekend, around 20 km each, with a full backpack and with repeat ups and downs in Teufelsberg Rodelberg. Training for El Camino!
