While Laura collects personal records...

...Manu collects jogging impressions in Germany: Last weekend in Osnabrueck with Robbie as personal trainer. He had to run circles around her to get at least a bit of a workout and try hard to communicate which basically meant him talking and Manu answering non-verbally (thumbs-up/-down/nodding...) until she wasn't even able to do that anymore.

However, the important and amazing thing is this: 6.77km in 44 minutes! The first thought was that the gps didn't work properly. But also manually tracking with gmaps gave the same results, nearly 7km.

P.S. to the two bastards who don't believe in me: Thank you! Now, I know I will make it.
Second P.S. to you: I will find you!

So this week we worked hard on our blog and also did plenty of excercise in the form of dancing on the nice music @ Habana, vierdaagsefeesten! But then again I felt that maybe it was time to also do some actual running... So I did, and I managed to run 7,5 km in 43.40 minutes! A personal record :) 

But now I'm just going to drink lots of water and enjoy the last day of the vierdaagsefeesten!

Fifteen kilometres in less than ninety minutes...

...that might sound like a nice walk on a Sunday afternoon for some of you. For us, it is a real challenge.

Therefore, we decided to sign up for the Zevenheuvelenloop in Nijmegen, which will take place on Nov 18, 2012. That gives us 3 months and 30 days to shape our bodies, get rid of Manu's smoking habits, improve the dutch cuisine and eventually master the hills around Nijmegen.

The first official practice run ended with the following results:

Manu managed to run 3.75k in 26 min and then slowly died on a bench while Laura ran another round with an end result of 7.5k in 46 min.

Be assured that we will post more embarrassing results, reports of tears and anger, detailed pictures of our blisters and hopefully also our progress to reach the goal:

Fifteen kilometres in less than ninety minutes.
