Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Weekly Wraps. Week 39, 40. With so much going on lately, it became difficult to follow my writing plan and I had to cut out one week from the blog management. To be honest, after having a consistent writing plan for almost 3 months, it was an unpleasant experience not to write a post and …

Deduction through one day

Weekly Wrap. Week 33 To mix things up, I will start it off with a bottomline - I should have had a better idea, how to structure tapering weeks and the ones, which will lead me to the race. I had been smashed and up again during this week, sometimes not wanting to do a …
