300 kilometers + !!! Off the Couch...Day 17

Hello to all of you,


I reached my hotel in Berlin very late at night due to the strike of Lufthansa, the airports show a pure chaos and waiting is not very pleasant. especially not in the heat of 34 degrees Celsius.


Because Berlin is not very inviting for an outdoor-run at night I went to the gym to get my last 5 kilometers in to reach my personal goal of more than 300 kilometres before the Shredder+ -challenge will end tomorrow.


Of course, I will enter the next challenge, :-), I will sign in tomorrow.


With all HIIT, running and Turbulance Training I was so focused on my own plan that I didn't realise that I finished already another challenge: 30 days of consecutive blogging.


All these achievements were only possible with daily blogging and accountability and with all of you who cheered me on over and over again. It is so much fun with all of you and I am proud to be here with you. Thank you so much, I really do appreciate all your comments a lot.

A day to be very happy, and I am.

I come a very long way and I can feel that I am almost back, my next goal is to focus more on my nutrition, something which I experienced to be extremely important.


But for today and tomorrow I will celebrate a bit: With an ice-cream and a massage (thank you for this fantastic tip, Debbie)...

I will be back tomorrow,
run hard


Juli

WOW! That's a lot of distance, and I don't just mean running. When I go back and look at your older posts and compare them to now, it seems you've also come a long way in recreating your life and your happiness.
