alsteration - the rain and the triathletes

13.7° celsius. drizzle (again), windy. 18:45 (1:14 hrs)

the rain gets really into my nerve. it rains everyday - don't they have a time-out? i was quite mad really. somehow the sky understood my problem (haven't run since friday) and literally stopped the pours. i was happy. so i packed up my stuffs and drove to my favourite lake to do my rounds.

there were lots of joggers. some triathletes too. most of them are either training up for the upcoming 10 km run (3. september) or the triathlon (10. september) or both. after my stretching procedure, i started running slowly and halfway through, i met one of the runners from my training group. he was doing his long slow jog and even though i'm doing the same, somehow i felt that my tempo is quite fast! i overtook them after saying a short hello. i didn't know what to do, if i were to join them, then i'll be running extremely slow - which i didn't want. if i were to just ran away and ignore, it wouldn't be nice. ahhh... what the heck, short hello is enough, cos i need my run for myself!

the second round started as fast (slow) as the first. at the alsterperle, i saw a tall guy in blue t-shirt stretching out. i passed him by and 200m later he did it too me. i continued with my tempo. halfway through i saw the guy in blue t-shirt again. this time i picked up a little bit of tempo and soon after that i overtook him - hee... hee... don't run too fast in the beginning! my tempo got faster and faster and soon i overtook every person that was running in front of me. for the last stretch of the lake, a guy in grey t-shirt was running fast but i was very determined to catch up with him. and i did and left him behind! to my surprise i didn't even sprint at the end, which i usually do. my legs ached a bit but i guest i did my tempodauerlauf to my satisfaction.

nolari - grau und grau

14° celsius. rainy.

es war grau, grau und grau. the whole day was nothing but grey. it was really depressive to see the sky. the motivation to run hits rock bottom. it rained all day, never stop. the wind was quite nasty too. so i've decided just to hit on the home-cycling-machine and do whatever needs to be done. a little exercise didn't hurt at all since i ate a döner this afternoon - a fat-promoting leckerbissen.

nolari - drizzling day

16° celsius, rainy.

it's raining outside and the urge to run tendiert gegen null. did set the alarm clock at 8 a.m. but was too lazy to wake up after seeing the grey sky. a big mistake. it turned out okay with the sun shining - but only until 1 p.m. then it drizzles and drizzles until late night. i guess the herbst has come!
