How to cook more, eat better, and get fit
It’s been 6 f*cking long months without a blog post, Cristina! How are you going to tell them everything you have done in the last six months?
Honestly, I have no clue how to summarize all my latest crazy adventures in one blog post, but I’m willing to try it, so please bear with me.
Why don’t you tell them about your latest races? Or better start with the beginning – how you severely injured yourself in February this year?
…
It’s absolutely AMAZING what this multi-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance disciplines called triathlon can lead to… crossing the finish line in Kona – The World Championship of Ironman (Ironman Hawaii) – yeah, that one: the torturefest in the lava fields during which one races a 4k swim, 180k bike, and finish with a marathon for “dessert” (obviously, it will take me a few Olympic triathlons and half Ironman races in order to first get to my first Ironman next year… and only then we can talk about Ironman Hawaii)!
Anyway, let me take you from the start line……
We runners all have one. That RUN. The run that is always with us.
It is the run that we can trust ourselves to. It is the run that is waiting to get us back on track after an injury or absence for quite some time. It is where we go in the cool of the early morning, in the heat of a summer day, in the fading light of a setting sun. It is where we go to find peace, to seek challenges. It is where we go when we need to push, to hold back. It is a place we go to in all seasons, observing and feeling the changes, until the rhythm of the earth becomes our own, a comforting reminder of the impermanence of all things….
Stay healthy & be happy, Cris
