It’s the last day of November, outside temperature is about 1 degrees Celsius and it’s raining something that looks like half-frozen rain. There’s also a lot of snow on sidewalks, even though most of the roads and sidewalks are clean enough to support running. This means that I have no excuse not to go out and do my daily workout.<\/p>\n

November 2008 running<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s probably the greatest lesson of this month, here in Ljubljana, there’s almost no weather condition that would prevent you from running<\/em>. Sure, it’s not 18C where you can run in t-shirt, but on the other hand, there is no real excuse for not adding another layer of clothes and go running. It’s a bit terrifying at first, running in rain, after dark or even in snow, but you quickly learn that it’s not much different from run on a warm day. It’s still just you and the road and the poetic feeling of freedom and good kind of tiredness that comes afterward.<\/p>\n

Some statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you can see in the embedded image, I didn’t miss a single running day, make it a total of 22 runs<\/strong>, over 11 and half hours<\/strong> and 113 kilometers<\/strong>. This is twice the amout of kilometers over previous month.<\/p>\n

Overall, I’m happy with results of running as I managed to upgrade my runs from 3-4km in the beginning to about 5km per run in the end.<\/p>\n

I’ve also started running to top of Ro\u017enik<\/a> on weekends, which has about 150m of altitude difference. The basic idea to upgrade the mid-week runs on flat terrain.<\/p>\n
