Oranges

Even if Morocco is truly the land of oranges, and I had some of the best orange juice in my life there back in 2009, I was still a bit surprised when I found out that there would be no isotonic sport drink along the course on Sunday but only water and, you guessed it, oranges. With this in mind, I brought an orange along to the gym to see how I would react to eating oranges while running on the treadmill.

After running 140 km in January so far, I am happy to report that I seem to be all good to go and that my left knee, which has been hurting a bit as I have been biking back and forth in the Arctic cold, did not give me any problems whatsoever when running today.
