catching up

It has been almost 4 months since I am back home. I am almost adjusted to my work. It is going well. I really like the job and colleagues. I still have things to learn. I like it so far but it is very busy. I just don't like the fact that I am exhausted and don't have enough energy for workout.

This morning on my way to work (by public transportation) I wanted to check out my Kindle simple touch. I haven't really used it since I bought it last year on Thanksgiving. I kept reading the last book that I was reading. It is about how to chose the perfect job for you and how to succeed it. It gave me some good insight what it really means to work. And I really enjoyed my day.

And still had energy for a little jog in the evening.

Tomorrow is Saturday. Time to sleep in a bit and relax.

Istanbul Marathon (First one for me)

It was very hard especially because I did not train enough. Glad to have finished without any injuries (at least until now) Had to walk the last mile or so. The evening that I ran the race was horrible. My heart was beating so fast.r

The weather was perfect, the organization could be better. The city is very crowded, getting the bib and coming back where I  was staying was a pain.

I am considering the race in Antalya in 2014 March the 2 nd now. I want to try another full and try to see what I can do if I train a little. Maybe I can go under 6 hours. I don't know.. will decide in a couple of weeks.
