running (in) shorts

7° celsius. clear sky & slightly windy. 17:56 (20.19 km - 1:54:46 hrs)

i just want to get my mileage correct for this week, cos last week was a total desaster - no nennenswerter run. so after getting ready (+ my gf found its satellites), i ran "blindly" towards alster. my choice of the route today was to go thru berliner tor and came back thru bürgerweide. i don't need to care much about the distance anymore cos gf is doing all the calculating :-).

as i reached the alster, i realised that there were many joggers at this time of the hour cos it was cold and dark but dry. one thing i noticed was that, there were a few runners who were running in shorts at this kind of temperature. even though they had longsleeves running top, i still couldn't imagine myself running in shorts during this cold months. brrr.... i did 2 alsterrounds slowly but steadily. almost to the end of first round there was somebody who overtook me and running "wildly" forward. i kept my pace steady and after sometime i did manage to catch up with him and overtook him back while running up the bridge - my favourite point to shake off all the other runners. actually, it was not me that was running fast (i had quite a constant pace) but the guy's pace was deteriorating.

wanted to do just 18 km today but ends up with extra 2 km. what the heck, i don't think i can run fast for this coming sunday's 25 km run!

just becos i did extra kilometers today, i've decided to give myself a treat - philadelphiatorte & quiche ohne alles.
