alsteration - slalom run

17° celsius, very cloudy and windy. 15:20 (29.6 km - 167 mins)

yesterday lotto was valued at 35 million euro. i wonder who's the lucky person. i definitely didn't win it!

finally i manage to run today. after the long wait (due to stormy and windy weather this week) i went out to my favourite lake to run. as usual the path around the lake was fully "crowded" with people doing their weekends stroll. couldn't blame them since today's weather was halfway okay.

running around the lake during weekends is always an adventure. you can never run straight forward, cos there's always (unforeseen) barriers in front of you, be it dogs, kids, bicycles, kids with bicycles, kids with ice-cream, adult with ice-creams, adult stopping immediately to kiss, dogs sniffing each other, runners greeting non-runners, non-runners blocking the paths, cyclists swerving infront of you and etc, the lists go on. this was my first run around the lake since 20th september, the day that my bike was stolen. i still miss it though, and i'm going to beat that person up if i found out whoever stole my precious.

anyway, back to the run. as stated above, it was not easy to run during the weekends. i started slowly and my intention was that today i'm going to do my first(?) lsd. i'm going to run 4 rounds (7.4 km per round), so that it will bring a total of almost 30 km. i don't know how my legs will take it 2 weeks after the marathon. so slowly i ran. after every round i stopped by my car and drank the fluids that i brought from home. stopped for a minute and then continue with the running. i almost gave up after the 3rd round cos it was about to rain and my legs were a bit heavy. the final round i did it really slowly and was happy to complete my first continuous 4 rounds of alster this year! the legs were like metal as i drove back home.
