I went running this afternoon and was amazed at how much water there is everywhere, just a couple of kilometers from my apartment. I only made the video from the bridge between Westervoort and Arnhem. I wanted to stop and take photos along the farms but running was going so well, I just didn’t want to stop.
Unfortunately my iPod (the old one, not the one hubs just bought for me) ate my 9 kilometer workout.
I’m behind on my Half-Marathon Week 2 training, but I’ll just do my best to do Week 3 in full.
I had this great idea to do a video log this week. And then my lovely Karen did one today and I thought “Yes, this is my day too for a new video log!”
I don’t really plan or script these things out. I’m a total technical dork (as in I’m not technical) so I also don’t know how to edit and make things better, etc. What you see is what you get. Me. Bad lighting. Rambling. Cats being annoying in the background. Saying weird things. Basically nothing different than if you were to meet me in real life (though I strive to at least get myself into some good lighting).
My whole afternoon up until evening pretty much didn’t go as planned. From work stuff to commuting stuff to even falling up the stairs at the train station because I’m a klutz and that’s how I roll. I tried to keep cool and hang out at Starbucks for a bit (not work, a store in the train station), I even remained calm when asking for information about when my train was actually going to depart (rather than be cancelled). I suffered through an exageratedly-loud yawner sitting behind me on the train, a missed connection and basically what it boiled down to was that I was home too late to do anything anymore.
Recently had the honor of being presented this lovely Blog Award from Shrinkingirl. So to properly receive this gift, I present to you my first (and last?) video log. I must say, I may sound and look stoned, I assure you I am not, regardless of the fact that I spent the day in Amsterdam today (I just look old and weird and sound like I smoke a lot – and only 2 of those 3 are true).
Oh and I now see that I left out one other option, but still I would have chosen to do the vlog.
I hope you enjoy, or at least get a giggle, or finally decide to take me off your reader once and for all, if that’s what this video drives you to do.
