Rainy Sunday Morning

It looks like I am going to have do go do 13 km on the treadmill today. It's raining pretty hard and it doesn't look like it's going to clear up. The treadmill is not really my favorite place to do long runs, but I have done them before there and it's manageable, if not really enjoyable. You do have the advantage of having a bathroom in close proximity and a place to put your water bottle. The way I do it is usually by breaking the run into segments. Like for today, I might break it down into 3 km, 3 km, 3 km, 4 km. Or I could do 2 km, 3 km, 3 km, 3 km, 2 km. It takes me about 20 minutes to run 3 km. So I am going to definitely be on that treadmill for about an hour and a half, give or take. Oh well...
Yesterday Felix and I went to see the semi finals of the big international badminton tournament being held here in Leuven. It was exciting! There were lots of Germans, some Dutch players, a men's doubles team from Singapore, a Scottish lady and an English lady. One of the German guys (who will be playing in the men's singles final today) really reminded us of Uncle Mark. Here is a picture of him and his name is Marc Zwiebler !
Today in the finals it's mostly the Germans, some Dutch and the one English lady. We are going to go see it later today after lunch. It's incredible how fast they hit the shuttle

I got up early yesterday morning and did this great yoga video from Yoga Journal Magazine for half an hour. It was surprisingly tough near the end and my legs felt wobbly afterwards. There are lots of great yoga podcasts on this site.

So now it's almost 9 am and my gym will be open soon so I guess if I'm going to go I better bite the bullet and get it done. Have a happy Sunday - hope it's sunnier where you live today!
