Happy Birthday to Me

Is there any better gift to give yourself for your birthday? I guess not. However, tip for next year: if you eat your birthday cake for breakfast, wait longer with your workout than after a regular breakfast. Otherwise you might feel like you will share your cake with the animals in the forrest.

I Did Something Stupid

I registered for a marathon. Today was the deadline to get a discount for the registration fee. So Prague International Marathon it is. Eventhough I was saying for half a year that I didn't want to run this one because I get bored easily on this route.

No idea how I can train for it in Yerevan though. Maybe it is good that my favourite bar closed, that will make running slightly easier. Till now I ran in Yerevan just once. I ran 5 km and thought I would die. Seriously, I ran from Envoy to SAS (200 meters) and was almost ready to give up. My friends blamed it on altitude but I bet it was all the cigarettes (+ time change - who runs at 5 a.m.?, lack of caffeine, heat etc.).

Oh god, what am I up to? Seriously, I think that if I really manage to run 30 km (the longest scheduled run) in Yerevan, the marathon in Prague will be a joke.

After the Wind

We had a hurricane warning for the weekend here in the Czech Republic. I don't know, but somehow I always feel that the natural disasters only happen at the villages, not in the capital (you see my logic ... big city = no nature = no natural disasters). I spent the weekend marching like a lion in the cage, looking out of the window questioning whether I should go or not.

After what I saw in the forrest today, I am sooo glaaad I stayed at home. A few trees fallen down and so many broken branches. It was kind of scary. I got the same uneasy feeling like after the flood.

The sweet moment of the day was when I met a very happy dog that was dragging a branch twice his size. It honestly made me laugh :D

It was 9 km today.
