Running is life

Two weeks ago, William ran his first 10k along the Vltava River in Prague. Running on cobblestones and over the 16th century Charles Bridge, we stopped for a brief photo-op before completing this major milestone for William. And today, I finally finished my challenge of running a half marathon every day for seven days straight.

I have been fortunate enough to not feel any pain when running those 150 kilometres, maybe a slightly tight left calf but that has really been all. Obviously, I am most grateful for having a body that lets me do these things and for the sense of freedom that it brings. Nevertheless, I will try to finish the 361 kilometres that remain of my annual goal before taking the train to Kiruna on 20 December. This will allow me to take some time off from the running to prevent injury and instead focus on cross-country skiing and swimming over the Christmas holidays.
