Bad news: #ParisMarathon is off (for me). The combination of an excrutiating workload the next half year and sickness in my immediate family means that I had to cancel my travel and withdraw my participation. No need to sugarcoat it: it sucks! I had really looked forward to it, but the ends just do not meet. I feel very sorry for myself today. I did a run this stormy morning nonetheless. Ever onwards. Distance: 5.32k Pace: 5'20" #CPH42 in 94 days. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

With the snow, the lights, the silence and calm of the world not yet awake, and Brahms' "Ein deutsches Requiem", this was a majestically beautiful morning run. It was also hard, because I had to plow myself through 10-15cm of fresh snow for much of the run, and it was challenging and fun. It was just what I needed.

To mix things up, I took the train to Friheden and ran home this morning. This turned out to be a difficult one, as most of the pavements and bicycle lanes were covered by a soup of snow, slush, and salt, and underneath it was a layer of ice. I'm not a big fan of #running on slippery surfaces; NO ICE! A run is a run, nonetheless, and this was good training. This was also stage 50 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.

Inspired by @robchapman@ohai.social, I started today's run a little later than usually to get to run in sunshine. It was a good call, as this turned out to be a wonderfully beautiful morning. (It was still horribly cold, though.) Stage 51 of #52weeks52halfmarathons. Distance: 21.47k Pace: 5'35" #CPH42 in 83 days. Edit: typos #running #mastorundk #everyrunhasapurpose

Good morning! I did a run, where I focused on keeping the effort just a little harder than I usually would. It was fun, and if I had not had to get back to get the family out of bed I would probably have gone on for five more km. The mornings are getting brighter (though not yet warmer), and today I even heard a bird sing. Spring is coming, indeed. What a time to be alive.

This run was supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it was a series of challenges. Snow, slush, soaked shoes, headwinds, heavy legs, cold, clouds. I flipped the script. I had done this before. I had chosen to do it. I told myself to enjoy it. I did. Overcoming a challenge is what makes a win. I struggled, and the run was a series of wins. #52weeks52halfmarathons COMPLETE! This was my celebration of #running. Distance: 23.74k Pace: 5'39" #CPH42 in 76 days. #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

A nice and inspirational run with @coachbennett@mastodon.online and Shalane Flanagan (in the #NikeRunClub app) through a dark and humid morning. This was a good one, and even though I did not quite find my rhythm, I had a blast. Kept it easy and increased the effort slightly throughout.

This morning, there was no plan. I got out the door, turned right, and then improvised from there. I knew I had to cover at least half-marathon distance, but that was all. The humidity was high, and I carried one layer of clothes too many, so the run was a little hard. I took it as an opportunity to train keeping up the mood while pushing through hard effort. The past years of training truly pay off. Distance: 21.58k Pace: 5'35" #CPH42 in 70 days. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Another morning run. I dropped my kid off at school and then continued running for about an hour. Throughout the second half of it, I cranked my effort up slightly beyond my comfort zone, training my ability to push further on long runs. One question from English Gardener stuck with me through the run: "If your dream were to come true this moment, here and now - would you be ready?" Would you? Would I?

#52weeks52halfmarathons is done, but I'm keeping the habit alive as I train for Copenhagen Marathon in two months. Edit: the first half of the run, I felt sluggish and did not catch the wave. But I changed my playlist and made a challenge out of running against the wind, and so I managed to turn things around and make this run fun again. Happy International Women's Day!!

It was a humid and cold morning, so the fog was heavy. Nevertheless, this run was a nice one. This was an easy run, but to mix things up I added three hard sprints where I turned the effort to 9.5/10. The challenge was not so much the sprints as the aftermath (where I had to keep the pace steady rather let my tired legs slow down). It was fun.

A long run through the morning. My training program has moved into the longest distances (21.1+), which is nice. My form is as it should be, I think, and today I was even able to increase pace through the last five km. The weather is tricky now. Too warm and humid for a lot of clothes, but 2.5hrs ago it was too cold to wear less. There is much more light, though. This was a good run, and I enjoyed it.

Two good colleagues, who live just by our workplace, had invited me to join their morning run before going to the office. I am not really a run-together-with-other-people-and-talk person (because I do not fully control my own pace and effort), but this was a most enjoyable run nonetheless. And it was fun to see Roskilde University and the surrounding areas in a different way than I usually do. Distance: 11.07k Pace: 5'43" #CPH42 in 51 days. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

An utterly bonkers long morning run:

I forgot my headphones, so I had no feedback about distance or pace (and no music)
my app paused tracking - which I did not realize until ~5k later
I ran in a rural area I had never been to before

So I got to YOLO my way through woods, countryside, and small towns. The sun was shining, and it got pleasantly warm). It was glorious.

Distance: 22.32k (measured post-run) Pace: 5'40"

A morning tempo run. As Copenhagen Marathon is now in the near future (#CPH42 in 44 days), I train keeping on even when it is hard. So today, I consistently pushed for a higher effort than what I would usually do and what felt most comfortable. No surprise: this was challenging. But it was also managable, and the fundamentals prove to be strong. Distance: 12.07k Pace: 5'17" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Out of the warm bed at 5:15, oatmeal, start #running in the cold, windy, and rainy weather, turn right on a whim, get lost in the woods, find the way back, get attacked by a dog, realize it's on a leash (so no danger), gel every 5k, spend 3hrs with a favorite band to prepare for concert tonight, witness the woods wake up, find the flow, overcome the struggle, runner's high. This was a thoroughly enjoyable run. Distance: 31.35k Pace: 5'48" #CPH42 in 42 days. #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose
