Holiday time is almost here!

It’s been a while again. I’m slacking on writing here. But not on training. Last weekend I wasn’t able to make it to the 20km race organised by the Warsaw Marathon Foundation, so on Sunday I’ve decided to run my long run in marathon tempo. And I did that almost exactly on the dot – 21km in 2 hrs. Very happy about that as my speed work is finally paying off. I don’t remember doing any runs this fast with the prior marathon training, so this is a good sign. But, the key to great run is good sleep and proper nutrition. I can definitely see a difference in my performance or even motivation levels when either of the two are missing.

This week I’m taking it easy in preparation for the Tatry Tour on Saturday. I’m looking forward to testing myself on the bike and am praying that weather will be good. If it rains I’ll have to re-think if I’d want to start at all. Not sure if I’m that comfortable on the road bike.

After the race we’re staying in Zakopane for a few days. Planning to do some hill work while there, plus hopefully some more bike riding. But, above all, relax and take some nice trips in the mountains. Then, we’re off to see U2. Been waiting for this concert for soooo long. Can’t wait!!!!
