I really love doing this, getting out on a Saturday or Sunday and doing a reasonably long cycling ride.I also was out yesterday on a short hiking trip , I mainly was out to help out as a Marshal in a Mountain Running Race but after my Duties were finished, I continued to do a nice short Hike .
I try to Break in a pair of new Hiking boots, I guess they will need a bit more work, since I got yesterday 1-2 small blisters , that can be normal with new Hiking Boots and I suspect that I need to get a different pair of Socks.
I'm planning to do some tougher hikes over the next couple of Weeks so would be nice to get those boots sorted before I'm stuck with Blisters somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Running , this is and stays my weakest Link , I did last weekend a 5 mile Flat course running Race , beside finishing second last, the Race did hurt, no real surprise since I haven't done any other running lately, not yet quite sure how to get over that laziness.
It's not purely Laziness on my Site, I know I still fight with my Winter Blues , how do I know that ? I'm still rather tired and still often rather moody , I recognize the Symptoms and I know that exercise is the best way to sort it out, but getting of the Couch can be rather hard.
I hope that Hiking will help me so that I get back into running, and I defiantly have to do some serious running Training, like Speed Training , hill training etc.
My recent Weight Gain should be a additional motivation , I have gained 1-2 kg , in my World that's usually not much ( not for somebody who lost over 30 km of weight ) but amazingly I feel it very much , I actually feel uncomfortable with this added Weight again.
Next Weekend is a 5 km Trail run , doesn't sound much , it did last Year the 10 km Version of that Race and it was the toughest Race of the Year , so 5 km of this will be more then enough to get to my current limits.
out and about
