Start Number Valencia Marathon!


I just bought my start number for Valencia Marathon 2011!!!

I can't wait :-) It's going to be a fantastic trip.

I'm really looking forward to running a marathon in a different country! I plan to run two marathons a year in a different place each time :-)

17k Run Towards Valencia Marathon!

This morning I had a fantastic 17k run :-)

I dropped off my youngest at nursery and then run over the bridge and along the waterfront. I love running there!
Then I headed back over the water and ran along the front to Christianshavn and headed through Amager to Amager Beach.

I also love running along the beach :-) The weather was perfect! The sun was shining and there was a nice breeze.

I hope all my training runs will be like this one :-)

Night Running Tour!

Yesterday evening I guided another night running tour around Copenhagen for Running Copenhagen.



As it was the day of the Copenhagen Pride Parade there were MANY people in the city. This made the running a little different but also with a bit of a party atmosphere!



I had to change the tour a little as we couldn't run up all of Strøget (the walking street) because of all the people so we ran up to The Round Tower and then towards the town hall square from there.


It was another great tour with some lovely people and I look forward to guiding one again very soon :-)

Photo Shoots and Easy 12k!



Today has been a VERY interesting day :-)


At 9am this morning I met up with Lena from running copenhagen outside Christiania (this is a very special place, read more about it here http://www.christiania.org/index.php)


Anyway standing with Lena is a photographer. I am a running photo model for the morning! We waited for another runner to join us and went down to some of the different areas in Christiania to have photos taken.


It was a lot of fun as we had to run in different ways and directions. (I got told off for looking at the camera)
At the end I had some portrait photos taken for the Running Copenhagen website. In case you are new to the blog I am a freelance sightseeing running guide with them.


After this I decided I may as well run my 12k for today so I went for a beautiful run a lake in Christianshavn and then over the bridge into Copenhagen and all the way along the water towards the Fisketorvet shopping centre. Then it was back over the water, into the Amagerfælled and up to DR Byen metro station where I had left my bike early this morning.

It was a great run! My serious Valencia Marathon running has started!!

As soon as I get the photos from the photo shoot I'll put them on here :-)
