On the way to ORANJE

Lady medal

Long weekend. So many marathons to run in Ireland. Tullarone, 100 K Donadea, Derry, Cork (where I have started my marathon adventure). Can run three days in row. And probably I would do that if I was in better fitness form. So, maybe next year. June long weekend 2016 we are spending on small city break in Amersfoort. When was looking for places to spent long weekend and if possible to run I have found small event in heart of Urtreht region in Netherlands. When research that place it looked quite nice. Not too expensive, with nice views and interesting places to visit… Read more

2016 Lilliput medal

First marathon in 2016. Still not ready or at least that how I feel. But I had to try. Try myself. And besides that there was AGM after the run. So, I was on the road again, driving towards Lilliput to see my running friends and to run with them. Lilliput is not even a hour drive so early morning and into the car. Morning was actually grand, not too cold and it wasn’t raining… Read more

New black singlet or…

Underground Elite singlet

as they calling it in UK vest…

I know that whole idea of my blog was to write about my runs, training, IT gadgets and gear. But I think I got lost in  the writing about running, occasionally adding post or two about shoes, heart rate monitor, GPS watches. But still wanted to write more. And recently, thanks to Instagram, I can do that. How you ask? I have started to follow some companies who are supplying running, gym gear and asked them if I can review their products. One company was really interested – Underground Elite. They have agreed to let me review their products and put that on my blog. Win – win, review and my getting back to reviewing gear and gadgets. I’m doing that for the first time, so please be understanding 😉 Read more

1st marathon in Szczecin

PZU Marathon Szczecin

Yes, it was long time overdue… marathon in Szczecin. My hometown was the last of the bigger cities in Poland without marathon event. We used to have 20 km anual run, which evolved into half marathon but the main running event was still missing. Missing until this year. In 2015 at 19th of September we, runners, will take part in 1st PZU MARATHON in SZCZECIN. Timewise it is placed week before Berlin and Warsaw marathon and week after Wroclaw (so, if you want and have time you can spend three weekends in Poland running marathons)… Read more

My Wife’s first

24th of August 2014 is significant date for My Wife. This day Bozena has run run her first marathon. It was in Longford.
That post supposed to be written by Bozena but she still hasn’t done that so it will be me… Cause Bozena decided that she would like to run in Paris marathon next April I wanted to introduce her to distance which will be waiting for her there. It is always easy to say marathon length is 42.195 km but how long time you need to walk/jog/run whole distance, how many steps you need to take to make sure that you will cross the finishing line. Are you really mentally prepared to take that challenge? All that is really hard, so need to try it first. That was the idea behind that to show to Bozena marathon expirience. Read more

1st marathon completed

Tasty

After nerve wracking last couple of days today I have finally faced my fear… first marathon.

I woke up today quite early to be sure that I eat my breakfast two hours before the run and avoid unnecessary surprises. That sounds like I was quite reasonable but still couldn’t find a place for myself in the morning. 7 times checking if everything is ready, checking my hamstring and planned to leave the hotel at 7:30 (marathon was starting at 9 and to get there we needed only 15 minutes)… So nerves… Read more
