Next year, I want to join the half marathon in Leiden. A fantastic colleague who is also into running brought up the topic. So, here we are with incremental training again. #5km #7km #running #runners #correre #hardlopen #amsterdam

This morning, I went on a short run with my wife. We stopped at the view of this triptych: the autumn leaves of trees shining in the sun, the solitary heron guarding the lake, and the reflection of the sky in the water. #3km #running #runners #correre #hardlopen #amsterdam

I promised to come back on this. Three nerdy, crazy things happened. Let’s focus on the last one. My (now) wife is mad about dinosaurs and we decided to dress up as t-rex for our first dance. Many other dino things happened on that day. We improvised the movements. Original idea by t-rex Tuesday.

Day 100: Reached 100 days yesterday. I forgot to post it, because it was an hectic day, for a different reason. This whole thing started as a `let's try to run/do yoga for a week` with my wife. It became something completely different. #5km #running #runners #correre #hardlopen #amsterdam
