It’s not a race, but a personal challenge: ‘107 km of ancient trails and mountains, where pagan and pilgrim cultures collide’. With about 5000 m of climbing, this definitely is a proper challenge – one I’d been looking forward to.
If you want to lift heavy, lift heavy; if you want to bulk up, bulk up; if you want to run far, run far. Walk, jump, dance, cycle; move in a way that makes you feel good, whether that’s fast or slow, long or short, indoors or outdoors.
When I mentioned my intention to do this 95km route to some of my running friends two months earlier, most of them just said ‘cool’, ‘good luck’ or ‘have fun’. One responded slightly differently: ‘Sounds like a plan. Let’s do it.’
Since change is supposed to hurt a little, I’ve decided to start my website and my blog with a clean slate as well. The old stuff is gone – and even though it is a little painful to see my blog being this empty, I’m delighted to start building something new.
