Good Morning……it is Monday 08:26 am here in Berlin Germany. My day started with a 1000 meter swim at the pool and now I am busy here at my desk.  Before I start in this mornings topic, I just wanted to give a shout out to Lauren Corey. This talented young lady did an amazing job with revamping the blog, don´t you agree? I am very happy with it. There is some tweeking left to do, so please be patient!

 

So, my blog logo, says “Tablescaping, Crafting and Cooking”, well there is a little more to me, that I would like to share with you today. A few years ago, I decided to take part in a mini triathalon. 700 meters swimm, 18k bike and 5k run. It took me awhile, but I finally could check that off my bucket list this year. I must say after that mini tri and the Berlin Half Marathon in April, the fitness bug really bit me. I now go to the gym about 2-3 a week for various classes and I try to get to the pool 2-3 a week also. The highlight of my week though, is getting on my road bike and going for a nice long ride. This past Saturday I managed 37 k in less than 2 hours. Now for all you profi´s out there that is no big accomplishment, but for me that was pretty darn good. Here are some pictures from Saturdays ADventure

 

THis picture was taken after app. 8km….I ride along the country roads.

Saturday morning really was weather wise the perfect time. I had to take a break at this spot just to enjoy the view…..it looked so peaceful to me.

Always a nail biting situation, when I try to take a selfie while riding!

On this map you can see the route I took! If you are in the market for a new sports watch, I can highly recommend the Garmin VivoAktiv. It takes care of all my tri-needs

 

Happy Monday Everyone…….
