I'm Not Allowed To Run...

Dear readers,

So as I was talking about me being lazy, I actually fought against it since the last weekend was absolutely beautiful weather and temperatures gave us last taste of summer in this year. It was very beneficial for me actually because I made two running records.
 I put on my massage gel, and run. Last week's training was 4 minutes walk and 6 minutes run and this repeated twice... well I did it 4x times. It happened to be 5.7 km last Friday at the end, which is quite good for me. And later, on Sunday I guess (yes I know rest day), I did the same with nice fast run at the end... So Lance Armstrong congratulated me again, to 6 kilometers this time. It feels quite good, breaking the records I made so far. And most importantly, I wasn't even that exhausted as I started... So 6 minutes of pure run, no problem for me, obviously.
But after every success comes bad moment. It's life.
 Month ago I got tested for allergies and part of these tests were also blood tests, so it happened that they found borreliosis ... It's treatable but while I'm taking antibiotics I'm not allowed to do any sports. The treatment will take a month of my running life. The only pleasure I had. I guess I don't even have to mention my swimming course at school. For the record I've never had a tick, It just happened I got bitten by some insect and I thought I'm having an allergic reaction to it.  Obviously it was infected mosquito or some other biting bitch. Oh and the other part of that, they told me I have an asthma so before every run I will have to inhale from my puffer.
 I still don't give up and I will get back on my running programme as soon as possible. But until then I will be writing boring about something I wish I could do.

I'm Looser

Hello everyone.
It's nice to check stats and see that you read, it motivates me to write even more.
As I said in almost every previous post, I want to be honest here. So moment of truth... The last day I went running was Monday. What a shame! Here in Czech republic the school starts this week, or around this week, every school has it different, so it's kind of a busy time at universities. And I have to get used to wake up early, because I don't have time to run in evening. Well I woke up this morning, school starts at 9 a.m. today and believe or not I looked outside and didn't even want to go there. I feel horrible. It's gonna be worse and worse and I know that... I have to fight with it.
Oh and I found apartment and now hold your breath, with running track 5 minutes by walk far. Isn't that a sign I should put my running shoes on?
And how do you deal with lazy, cold days? Let me know in comments...

As I Expected...

HAHA!
I made it.
Well I hope you all read my yesterday's post, because this is highly related... if not, do that now!
So rain haven't stopped yet, which means it was raining 48 hours now and as I expected yesterday, the weather is bitch and I should re-name myself to Unlucky today. I had to go for run in cold, windy, rainy day (yes one of these days you wouldn't even get dog outside - as we say in Czech rep.) And I survived. It wasn't that bad and I guess I should get use to it since I decided to run during winter time as well and I'm super scared of treadmills. I even wasn't cold as I expected and yes my jacket and Nike+ armband are water-resistant. Good news I suppose since I will have to experience this type of weather more and more often.
But looking back to my today's run I found one great advantage. If you are uncomfortable like me, that everyone is staring at you, well someone will hardly be sitting outside on the benches...


Have great night people!

The Weather


Sunday... my official resting day! I actually never listened my training programme about resting days until today. I've been running 8 days in a row now, so I guess today I should listen and really take a break. But you know what? I woke up this morning (it was an hour ago) and took a look outside, it has been raining whole night and it doesn't seems to stop anytime soon. I was born with surname lucky or happy and this is the proof, not that it's important, at least it won't tease me to go outside and enjoy autumn. And now, talking about how happy I am, If it will rain tomorrow I'm screwed... I've been avoiding the day when I have to go for my run in the rain and I'm not planning on going anytime soon, even the day will come one day, that's for sure. Do you run in rain? Do I have to? I have nice running jacket from my last internship, but I was using it just for cold days, not raining. How do I know it's water-resistant? And what about my Nike+ iPod case, they say it's water resistant, but for run in SUCH a rain?
Are people crazy to run in days like these? 
And you readers, just wait for my post when it's snowing...
