Not the day I wanted. The legs never fully came back after last week’s cold, and the clock says 11 minutes off my PB. I felt it from the first kilometers and spent the rest of the race managing instead of racing.

Bib 3150 is pinned, three gels are lined up, and the start line in front of the Palace of Parliament is ready. Running tomorrow the half marathon at Bucharest Marathon, two weeks after a cold took some of the edge off Piatra Craiului.

Shakeout done. 6.01k at 5:06/km through the park this afternoon. Legs feel snappy, the cold is behind me, and the leaves are turning gold right on schedule. Sunday it’s the half at Bucharest Marathon. 🍂

Founders Networking Event at How to Web, day one done. Good room, lots of badges, and conversations in more languages than I planned. RunningLog is live if you race. 🏃

6.52k easy at 5:31/km this afternoon. Leaves piling up on the grass, coots cruising under the willows, autumn light doing its thing. Building back slowly. 🍂

Marathon Piatra Craiului, done. 37.65km, 2,442m of climbing, 6:31:52 on the clock.

Went in with a goal time and had to let go of it early — a mild cold meant the climbs took whatever I had and gave nothing back.

Day after 38km of Marathon Piatra Craiului. 4.8km of shuffling around the lake at 5:52/km — technically a run, mostly a negotiation with my quads. Sunshine, fountains, no elevation whatsoever. Exactly what today needed.

7.23k easy along the lake, 5:04/km, legs feeling fresher than they have all week. Paddleboards out, sun going down, nothing left to do but wait for Saturday. 🌅

8.38k through the park tonight, 5:19/km. Fountains still running, leaves starting to turn, legs kept honest ahead of Saturday. Race week taper — short, easy, and hard to resist going faster. 🍂

Race week. 🏔️

Maraton Piatra Craiului on Saturday — 42km of trail in Zarnești. Already sitting in RunningLog with the goal time typed in, which makes it feel uncomfortably official.

Plan it, run it, log it. That's the app.

Day after the long one — 9.06k at 5:30/km, just spinning the legs out along the lake. Low sun, reeds, a flock of ducks doing their own easy session. Recovery days earn the hard ones. 🦆

#running #marathon #runninglog #strava #garmin

20.06k before the day even got going. Bridges, willows, and a lake that hadn't woken up yet — 1:41:43 at 5:03/km, and the legs held the whole way. Long runs like this are why Saturday mornings exist. 🏃‍♂️

#running #marathon #runninglog

Easy does it — 7.24k at a conversational 5:46/km through the reeds tonight. No pressure, no pace goals, just legs moving and the wetland light doing the rest. 🌿

#running #trailrunning #runninglog

Chased the sunset for 13.17k tonight, 6k of it at tempo. Watch says 1:02:38, 4:45/km — legs say worth it. 🌅

6.61k at 5:47 this morning. Easy recovery after yesterday's 23k — ran straight into the Turul României finish setup in the middle of the city. Barriers up, team cars lined up, crowd already gathering.

#running #marathon #founder #runninglog #strava

23.61k at 5:06 this morning. Through the city while it was still empty — got the arch and the whole roundabout to myself, which basically never happens.
Finished with an espresso, which is the only correct way to end a Saturday long run.
