Mocha

What Ive used in my last HalfMarathon last sunday.

This is so tasty: it's like having a break for a coffee in the middle of the race.

Race for food

This is what happens when I get hungry:

Today I had a free day in my training. So after a bike ride in the morning with some hill repeats and the whole day studying at 5pm I was feeling hungry. Plus I had this big problem: one thing was missing at my kitchen - bread!

I was not in a mood to dress myself 3 or 4 layers of clothing, plus scarf and gloves and wait for the bus.
So I said "I'm going to run to the bakery and back" - 6km to go and 6 back +- 1hour. That's what I need. I thought I had two bricks in my bag on the way back but after 1 hour I was back with four packs of bagels! Yes they arrived safely!

Delicius!

Decisions Decisions...

The more options you have the more probability it is to not choose anything. That's happening to me.

After having some assignments to hand in and some tests, now is time to decide which topic I'll focus during 3 months - my dissertation topic. I have many ideas but it'll take some time before a decide which one will be the best (regarding all the constraints: time, etc.). 
I might have it by the end of this week though.

Apart from that last week the weather was not bad (8-12ÂșC) and sunny. I manage to get out and ride with a brilliant blue sky last sunday. This week the grey and cold weather is back (I need summer!)

The training is getting done and on the 13th of March I'm going to the Norwich Half-Marathon - can't wait!

Enjoy!
