alsteration - sunday walk

15° celsius, cloudy, sunny and windy. 10:38 (154 mins)

the alarm rang at 8 am. as usual, who wants to wake up that early! so i took a nap before i really woke up at 9:15 am. hmm... i'm so tired. after the shower, packed up my stuffs and drove to alster. it was 10:25 am.

wow, so many runners today. the mild weather did really motivate people to run. for my case, i have to run (i really need that mileage). after s hort stretching and warm up programme, i started to do my rounds. 4 rounds of alster - not boring, interesting in fact. you'll see all kinds of people this morning, joggers (what else), nordic walkers (i hate the sticks), dogs, tourists, bicyclists, fans waiting to see their star at le royal meridien hotel (who is it, i don't know), but the fans had to wait really long - 3 times i went passed (~2 hrs but the crowd is still there!) and of course the morning/afternoon bummers.

it was not fun at all when the battery from your mp3 suddenly went on strike after 3 km. though i've packed almost everything, the most important thing (battery) i left it at home. talking about murphy's law! so it was one of the most quiet run this season. urrgghhh....

like i said before, running during the weekend is a torture - especially if you started late. you just have to manouvre your run perfectly. almost kicked a dog for running in my way and a kid missed me by a hair with his bike. thanks to my quick reactions, nothing happened :-).

today's 4 rounds were a bit quicker than last week. but i don't feel it that quick though. must run slower but longer for my lsd next time.



alster and her boots.




running through these people needs a lot of concentration and patience.
