Anne on the run

I'm still alive!

I know, it's been months since i wrote anything. I'll try to do better in the future. The winter training has been going very well. Especially my training in South Africa. We stayed there for 2 weeks in January.

Nothing better then getting on a plane and fly to where the summer is!! Too bad i got sick during the flight. I'll spare you the details, but it had something to do with my stomache...

It took me a day to recover but after that I was able to do a lot of work. Because the 200m indoor has been taken of the program my coach and I sort of decided that I would run the 400m. I know, you must be insane to do this without being forced to... (I apologize to all 400m runners, I am a weak person and just don't have the guts for it ;-))

But during my first training back home, in the freezing cold, I injured my hamstring (maybe my body decided for me that 400m really isn't such a good thing to do). Seriously, this really sucked, because I was eager to race. I have been able to do a bit of running this week, but only at low speed. And the indoor season is almost over!!

The Dutch championships are in two weeks, but I'm not sure if I'm going to compete. I don't want to take any risks and the "real competitions" are in summer, so there's no hurry. First I have to get that hamstring 100% fit!

After two weeks of training...

Two weeks of training and I'm still enjoying it :-)

Yesterday morning I went for a run with Wigert. Nice temperature, blue skies and lots of silence, part from me being out of breath!! What else do you need...?

I've gained a kilo since I've started traning, which is good, cause Wigert thinks the way my body looks now I should be running the 400m! I'm afraid I have to disagree.

I got a busy week coming up. Our work group has to hand in a major assignment on Thursday, and there's still so much work to do. I don't have a lot of time this weekend. Training tomorrow morning and it will probably take me the rest of the day to prepare for the charity ball for the hockeyclub in the evening. Me in a dress, still not getting used to it...

The team I coach has a competition this Sunday, so I want to go and have a look. They say women are better in planning than men, but sticking to the plan is another thing!

First trainingweek

I did some hilltraining today with my coach Wigert and teammate Joan. After two months of doing almost nothing, my body really has to get used to being active again!

All my muscles hurt, but it feels great to be in training. I have to gain some weight (muscles!), but my fatpercentage is okay, so I can keep eating! :-)

My first weighttraining is tomorrow, I will probably need help getting out of bed on Saturday...

Welcome
