Vorgestern bin ich das erste Mal dieses Jahr wieder die 21km gelaufen und merke deutlich, dass ich noch nicht so richtig in der Form für die Strecke bin. Ab Kilometer 14 fiel es mir zunehmend schwerer und die letzten Kilometer waren eine reine Willensleistung, nicht aufzugeben. Aber immerhin war ich mit < 1:58h etwas schneller als beim Stuttgart-Lauf letztes Jahr. Es bestehen also berechtigte Hoffnungen, dass es mit diesem einen Jahresziel hinhaut.
Auf jeden Fall habe ich heute noch einen granatenmäßigen Muskelkater - speziell in den Waden.
Aber noch sind 2 Monate Zeit, um für den diesjährigen Stuttgart-Lauf zu trainieren.
Der vorherige Lauf in Kiew war weniger beschwerlich :-) (aber auch deutlich kürzer).

Laufen mit Daisy (German)
Seit Freitag hat uns Tief Daisy fest im Griff und dementsprechend ist alles weiß. Hier im Süden ist es nicht so tragisch, wie beispielsweise in Brandenburg. Ich bin dann heute nachmittag doch noch aufgebrochen und eine Runde gelaufen. Es ist interessant wie viele Gehwege nicht geräumt sind, obwohl doch Räumpflicht besteht (nicht dass ich auf die Räumung bestehen würde). Laufen auf Schnee war ja ganz ok, aber im lockeren, mehrfach von Autos oder Fußgänger durchpflügten Schnee ist es ganz schön anstrengend. Deswegen war ich auf den 12km dann auch eher langsam unterwegs. Spaß gemacht hat es trotzdem :-)

Laufen 2009 / 2010 (German)
Das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu; Zeit für einen Jahresrückblick: ich habe beide gesteckten Laufziele gut geschafft:
- Stuttgart-Lauf ankommen. Ich habe das Ziel dann zweimal hochgesetzt. Erst auf unter 2:30h und dann auf unter 2:15h. Letztlich war es dann besser :-)
- Mehr als 750km laufen - das habe ich mit 792km auch gut hinbekommen - wenngleich ich im Dezember nochmals richtig Gas geben musste
Bester Monat war der Dezember mit 135km
Läufe an "exotischen" Plätzen:
Ziele für 2010
- Stuttgart-Lauf schneller als 2009 (also unter 1:59:04) - wenn das Wetter mitspielt und ich nicht krank bin
- 900 Laufkilometer

1000 km :-)
Last weekend I crossed the 1000km mark since I started running last year (see here). I took me quite some time since the 800km mark at Stuttgart-Lauf. This had to a big extend to do with the fact that I was not really able to go out much while kids were on vacation from Kindergarden and also needed some rest after Üetliberg. But since start of september I am back on track :-)
So what are my next goals? I don't really know yet. Running Stuttgart-Lauf faster than this year probably. And just improving my overall fitness to be able to run at same pace with a lot lower heart rate.

Üetliberg
Today, while being at Jazoon in Zürich, I took a run together with Bela from the Saalsporthalle (close to the conference venue) to the top of the Üetliberg.
Things went a bit strange, as at some point we switched on the most direct track to the hilltop. So in summary we did more than 400m of altitude. This included 'crawling' over tree roots on a very wet soil.
You can have a look at the track at GPSies.com.
Here is a snapshot from Trailrunner about my performance (grey shows the heigth):
In both cases start height and end height do not match, as my Forerunner took a long time to discover the satellites and only did so while we were already running. This also means the distance has probably slightly longer.
A very nice thing is that at the Saalsporthalle, it is possible to just go into a public cloak room with showers, to change to sporting clothes and to shower later. Outside is even a possibility to clean the running shoes.
Update
A nice fellow at the top of the Üetliberg took photos of Bela and me and sent them via email to me:
At the right you can see a bit of the Zürichsee.

Stuttgart-Lauf
Yesterday was Stuttgart-Lauf again. Unlike the other years (see here for last year) I did participate in the Half-marathon (21 km).
When practicing, I was able to run the distance in 2:08h, but on a very flat course, so I was thinking that 2:15h would be realistic for this more demanding course.
But then at km 17 it looked like I would be able to run the track within 2h, so I tried to and here is the result:
My first half-marathon in 1:59:04h - wow, I am happy.
While running I also crossed the 800km border since I started running last year (see e.g. here).

♫ I'm running in the rain ... ♫
Today it was raining, but I had the urge to go out for a run, so I went out nevertheless. Normally I am more a like a sissy in that area though.
But after around 1km I felt warm enough so that it did not feel uncomfortable anymore and later on it did not even feel bad being splashed by a car driving through a puddle. And this is how I looked when I was coming home:
But hey, it felt great !
And the best: my Adidas (Supernova) shoes stayed dry inside. No wet feet - I just love those.
( The very best was actually that my ankle did not hurt )

First 100km
As I indicated in this post I have started running again some weeks ago. Now after around 7 weeks, I crossed the 100km barrier (so this makes 15km per week on average, in 2 sessions on average per week).
Lets see if I will stay motivated to do the next 100km also in 7 weeks or less.
One of my big motivational factors is clearly Trailrunner, a very cool desktop app for the Mac to file each run in a training diary and to graphically select routes and compute distances etc. It's really fun to select new routes to run.
Trailrunner is even able to create images from the route
that can be uploaded to an iPod or a mobile phone as a miniature map to go (the image shows on top the name of the way-point and on bottom the expected target time (*) and the distance from the start). Also the map data (from various map sources can be shown on those micro maps)
*): One can set an expected speed for each route which is used to compute the expected time for each way-point; this helps to adjust the running speed while on the go.
It's no full blown GPS navigation (which seems to be supported with more sophisticated devices like the Garmin Forerunner), but is very helpful when running a new track for the first time.

Stuttgart-Lauf
Yesterday I was at the Stuttgart-Lauf again. The track was a little bit longer with 8.2 km than in previous years with 7.6 km.
My result:
Actually I am quite happy with that, as I did not exercise a lot before and the weather was again very hot (32 Degrees Celsius). In my category (age 30-39), there were 425 finishers. Total finisher according to the stats at Mika Timing were 3664 ppl.
The run was fun again, because of the people along the track and also the finish in the Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion. I think this time was the last time that the finishing line is in the stadium, as there are plans to convert it into a soccer-only arena.

Stuttgart-Lauf
Like last year I participated in the Stuttgart-Lauf. This time - again without practicing - I was over two minutes faster on the 7,6km run (which lead to hand measured 44:19).
The event again was great fun, so I will try to participate next year again.
