Running with Hoka

After running 100km with a Hoka Challenger I believe I got how I should run with these shoes. Posture, foot position uphill and downhill, asphalt and gravel. All play a major role and improve performance, specially uphill.

It takes a bit to warm up but once you are firing through the trails, it gets cool!

For some reason I also sweat less. Great when it is warm. However, this is something I want to learn a bit more.

Blizzards are common in my 🦶 but under control now.

Positivity 5.0

Out of blue today during my run at Sao Lorenzo Trail in Faro, positivity just settled in. With no warning! But when I need it, sometimes I struggle.

There are good exemples around me simply and willingly pushing this to me but still sometimes I have to stop and find myself again.

Great exercise today, mental one! Running under the gliding slope of Faro Airport, watching the flamingos flying around the salt pits are just good examples that I really took my time to myself today and observed how nice everything fits together!

Emotional Challenge

Everybody talks about being our self-best! True!

Overtime I found out that mental and emotional challenge not only new perspectives but closer to people. In a different way! Something in common, self-reflective, enduring!

Looking back, recalling comments from others I realise now that I was practicing this but was not at all aware of it!

Great realisation also knowing other potentials we have! Feeling good and a bit more complete!

Sinking in, sunshine, breeze!

Energy!

It simply comes watching my kids growing up. No baby any longer. Participative discussion and a ever self-discovery journey with my two daughters! Yep, they are growing and we are too. We have to realise it, feel the joy and mirror this into our own journey! The discovery goes further, beyond the places we had imagine! Let’s do this! Simple energy!

Value and Ethics

Sometimes I am hit badly by situations which confront my values and ethics. And what keep me going, a apart of a big and deep breath, are the same values e ethics!

Just reading today some evaluations I have got sometime ago and it fuelled additional motivation to keep cool. Being myself, me, I am!

Still a lot to learn. Those around me, very, very close, are so important, a great sign of happiness and lots of love!

Last 2018 run!

Last Good Morning in 2018, also the last run of the year. Tried today to top 10k but felt a bit short. It tried and this is good for now, in the heat. Will continue to beat myself in 2019! Let’s all manage a great step into the new year! #tonidandel #mudinyourtoe #lastrunoftheyear #everywherecentral #everywherecentralleo # beatyourself
