fartlekking around the alster

5° celsius. dry. 17:30 (0:57:47)

i must run today. it has been such a "long time" since i ran. anyway, felt a little lethargic before the run (i've been eating a lot these few days) and began my journey towards alster slow and steady.

after a couple of traffic lights stops, i finally arrived at the alster. (un)lucky for me, there was this guy who probably was running his last kilometer, zoom passed me and left me nothing else to do but to follow his tempo. i did for about 100 meters before i left him behind to continue my run.

the motto for today was ran fast on the "uphill" and slow down later. twice i ran beside a grandma on bike on the "uphill" section and twice i overtook her. it was just a small fun that motivated me whenever i tried to catch up with the cyclist when they cycled up the slope. it went on like this and everytime i saw a slope, i ran faster. i'm training for the coming race in february, where it is all slopes from start till the end.

i was so tired but not 100% dead as i continued another 1.5 hours of badminton right after the run!
