The first week is over and I am feeling much better already.
I managed to get approx. 75 km of running into this week which means that my mileage has to be increased very little to fulfill one of my goals (will be revealed tomorrow). I have to focus on my weight-training and on my time-management.

The Fire Is Still Burning/ Warm Up Mission Day 06 of 14
A relaxing day,
with my first tempo-training in ages...4 times 1500 m with a 90 % max.
I am still "suffering" from 2 days on which my sportsband didn't measure correctly the distance and time. The first and second day.
I found out that the Nike+ - plus - program adds the times up, and I have to work it out/down over the next weeks. My average is about 6 minutes, today I ran 4.45 per kilometre on a round-track. So exciting to feel that I can still do it and that the fire is still burning. But there is LOTS to do to come back and be the best Juli I ever was.
From tomorrow on I will focus a bit more on time-management and nutrition a bit more.

Warm up Mission 05 of 14
I was too tired to post last night after returning from a function.
I managed everything yesterday except the nutrition part.
My "extra cardio" was 20 km on my bycyle, which I did in the mornings and ran afterwards.
= 90 %
Have a great Sunday,
I will be back tonight with the todays results,
Juli

"Warm Up" Mission day 02 of 14
A long day at the office, far too long and not well planned. I ran from meeting to meeting but was lucky enough to get some cardio-training in.
From next week's Wednesday on I could luckily manage to change my daily schedule so much that nobody can "overbook" my days anymore...at least not without my permission.
Furthermore I have to finish urgently my tax-declaration, I am a world-class procrastinator...
Below are the results of today:

I thought about Dougal's comment about hope; hope as a motivator, catalyst, trigger for that what one wants to achieve.
He is right, it is hope and in the meantime love, passion, compassion for myself. And faith. I believe that I will will aim my goals. Especially my main goal, I want to feel well again, feel fantastic in my skin. But what makes me so certain? Is it naive? Am I just arrogant? Or is it something magic which gives me the warm feeling of security?
Lazarus, a cognitive emotion theorist, defines happiness as that emotion which results from "making reasonable progress towards the realization of a goal" . Therefore every baby-step towards my goals make me happy and make me feel a bit better.
But what is hope? Hope is not and emotion like happiness, difficult to define but very much needed. It has a kind on an uncertain outcome and it can show personal (moral) values.
For sure, I hope but with every baby-step the uncertainty of the outcome of my hope fades off, it becomes more clear that I can reach my goals...faith...and of course love. Love for what I do and feel and for the people in my life who can already feel a small change.
Sorry for being so philosophical deep at night,
sweet dreams,
I will be back tomorrow,
Love,
Juli

"Warm Up" Mission Day 01 of 14
My first day was - so far even if I try to be humble- just great.
I managed a run and to do all the other "little tasks", the only thing which was a put back was my new Nike+-band which DARED to track only 1,17 km instead of the 8,0/8,2 km which I definitly ran.
Maybe I am too blonde for this thingie, maybe it is an easy to solve problem. I wrote to the Nike-guys, complained and took it back to the shop. A guarantee-case, ;-). I got a new one and: I will be back with the new "thingie" tomorrow again. The great and very admired South African runner Zola Budd ('n regte boeremeisje) ran barefoot and she was fast! I wonder if she has a gadget like this as well. BUT: It is so much fun!
Sitting here in my office and looking back on this first day of mine I can really say that I am very happy that I started here: I met many nice, cool, motivating and extremely positive people, I met a former Triathlete (Dougal, you are my hero!) and of course Lynda, Lilla, Meredith to run with.
My inner-happiness-level? Can one "score" it? I feel good today (like James Brown used to sing it) and feel something happening in me. Is this the start to something big?
Here are the daily results so far and I promise not to have unhealthy food tonight...

Germany is very hot these days and I should definitely see that I get up earlier in the mornings so that I can get my longer run or cardio training finished before work...then I can also leave my cell-phone at home (which bothered me a lot!) and don't need to run during lunch-time.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
