4 or 5 trainings a week?

It seems that lately I never manage to run more than 4 times a week.

My plan would be 5 times a week. I would be more than happy then, but for one reason or the other (laziness is a reason :) ) I tend to stop at four!

Goal for next week is 5 times. Promise :)

Running quotes on t-shirts

Wow I am writing a lot today. The other day I was searching for some funny quotes on running and I found this thread on a forum of phrases on t-shirts.

http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/Forum22/HTML/004204-4.shtml

The thread is on 10 pages so be sure to check them all! Is so funny...

Some of my favourites are:

• I thought you said this was 2.109 Km!

• This sport would be fun if it wasn't for all the running

• If you start to feel good during an ultra, don't worry you will get over it. - Gene Thibeault

Others are in the thread. Have fun and good reading!

You may notice that some parts of the blog are... well... not optimized! I am working on it. :-) They will get better soon...

Races in Switzerland

Well well, I am always searching new challenges, although for this year I am all set :-) But this race seems very nice!

beware the site is in French. 31 Km around 5 4000 m. Wow! Must be beatiful. I really need to do that. But who knows... Maybe I wil try! mmmh mmmh need to be realistic. If I convince Francesca this could be a very nice training run.

Some pictures...

Since Mick asked for some photos (it is your fault Mick alotugh you asked for photos of where I train not of past events...) here are some pictures of the Thurgauer Triathlon I did last year when Francesca (my wife) was pregnant.

You can find the homepage here: http://www.thurgauertriathlon.ch/

Here I am before the start...

Preparing for the start... A bit nervous!

Out of the water

Here I am at the start of the run! I was already a bit wasted... ;-)

Last long training

Fantastic long training! 15 Km in 1:50h. Slow but very very beatiful. Sunny (almost 22 C), in the woods, alone... FANTASTIC. I will post some statistics if I find the time... I am trying to step-up my training. Need to do more!

Back online and training

Ok ok,
no excuses this time. My computer is back online and I can post. I donwloaded the last 3 weeks of training. Not something to be proud of really. Average of 4 times per week running and ca. 25 Km per week... NEED TO IMPROVE. Working on it now. Today I have my long runs.

Problems started 10 days ago when I went running with a friend. Guy who can run a half-marathon in 1.5 hours.... I should have known. We have run a hilly trail, 9 Km in 42 minutes... Way over my normal speed.... I felt that in my legs for one week.

Well you live to learn :) I will post some graphs later today or tomorrow.

Good training!
