Beach Party

Me, Christian, Sofie and Nico

^Picture is from a beach party we went to on Friday nite at Zandvoort. There was an all-you-can-eat BBQ (!!!) and open bar, hehe. Needless to say, many drinks were had! This pic was before our drinking started :)

Went for a long run today, was pretty relaxing just chugging along. The first time I ran 2 laps around the lake (total 12km) my heart felt like it shuffled up my throat at the halfway point, but these days I just get a sore knee a little bit.

Its pretty cool running for longer periods cuz after a while, the mind just blanks out and I find myself suddenly thinking "o cool i'm all the way here now" and then really looking at my surroundings. Hope I dont run off into unknown territory one day, thatd be kinda dangerous!

Around the lake, there are lotsa people walking, biking, rollerblading, etc. It's actually really beautiful, I should take pics :) There are also interesting sights, such as the Turkish/Moroccan women who run in groups of 2 or 3 dressed in a full black cloak and head wrap, wearing extra layers of course, and then some young fat boy who's also running in a puffy jacket (what's up with that? it's like 20 degrees out!) The Turkish/Moroccan men also walk around in black drapery and large groups, looking quite threatening.. and then there are the groups of giant geese who stare at me while I run by, some of them shuffling into my path as if to say "feed me!!", hehe. They're kinda cute, but I imagine they could probably peck me apart if they really wanted to, there are like 20 of them together all the time. :P

but yea, these days, its always nice weather in the evenings after we get off work, and its going to get up to 27'Celsius in the next few days!!
