This week is tiring indeed… tonite I’m awake only in the name of some excellent Kenyan coffee (from the always reliable Tehuset in Lund, Sweden). So… the last two nights counted for the regular 10K each plus this morning some more tennis. I was tallying 5-2 before the bell rang.

Cold fact, no more than that. Last friday I did a 14K, then two times 10K over the week-end. Tonite will be nothing, I’m just caring our children… Ok, today I also bought a Wilson nCode Six-one. The next game is on wednesday morning.

Last night the usual suspect 10K. Also in the morning an hour of tennis – real amateur stuff so far. My professor beat me 6-1. My only explanation is that I haven’t played for over 10 years at all. Mm… perhaps I get an own racket next.

I had to take a 3-day break after my throat got some cold. Now it’s ok. Two nights ago I did a 10K and tonite a modest 7K. If I calculated it correct, the first week totalled 40K.

Two nights ago 14K via Munkka, Meilahti, Töölö & Ruoholahti. Last night a modest 6K.

Yesterday I also tried to find new racing shoes – in vain. The local stores in Helsinki seem to stock only shoes for runners with pronation problems. I’ve tried such unbalanced crap once. It almost killed my knees. I really need good old-fashioned and light-weight racing shoes since I use them in daily training as well, at least once a week. Optimally, I’d run without any kind of shoes on golf courses but what can you do without a green card….
