Guilty Pleasures

With Petra and others having recommended it for quite some time, Umeå’s new brunch spot “Guilty Pleasures” seemed like the obvious place to take Carsten while he was visiting for a few days from Hamburg. While more than ten years had passed since we last had breakfast together at the Grand Hyatt in Seoul, it was great to resume my German masterclass with the concept of „bornierte Bräsigkeit” over some well-executed “Eggs Royale” and the house Cava.

Before meeting Carsten, I managed to swing by the gym for a first post-Covid session consisting of rowing and weight training. Though feeling good, I have decided to stay away from treadmill tempo runs for now. In any case, speedwork is not really something I need to practise ahead of Thursday anyway, so I am happy taking it slow for the time being
