Travel blog entry: the wonderful Iceland
I was lucky enough to win an EEA grant and visit Iceland for teaching. Obviously, I haven't left my running shoes at home, and I tried to get the most out of that trip in terms of running as well.

Exercise or travel? Why not both?!
The first title of this post was "Saving money by exercises when travelling". I changed that, as it only reflects one aspect of what I want to say. My main point is not to avoid certain types of transportation means in order to save a bunch of money. What I want to advertise is the idea of occasionally including / combining healthy activities when one needs to get from point A to point B. Sometimes it saves money / time. In some cases it does neither, but reduces the CO2 footprint, or just makes the time spent travelling more joyful.
Travel blog entry: meet the awesome Zagreb Runners
I know, I haven't posted anything recently, so here is a quick personal update before leaving the city.
Due to a work related CEEPUS Freemover project, I got to spend a week in the capital of Croatia, Zagreb. Obviously, it was not a question for debate, whether I bring along my running gear or not, just the selection of the shoe.
I planned to run around the city from the beginning, and get over with the sightseeing part that way, but it was only the very last moment before my travel, that the idea came from my inner voice: "Hm.. wouldn't it be awesome if I could join a team there or even go to a race?"
Checked luggage like a boss!
So today I flew to
Oujda (Morocco), where I'll be spending two months. My baggage is
usually far from the weight limit, but today I managed to make it
19.5 kg, so pretty close to the allowed 20 kg. The reason for that is
best illustrated by the photo below (that shows around 4/5 of my
whole luggage. Yep, I've brought some normal stuff with myself too).
So basically:
-
a Rollerblade skate
-
3 x 2-item protective gear (palm, knee and elbow)
-
(bike-) helmet, that will be used for skating too
-
my old Asics GT 1000 running shoes
-
RP Outdoor 1l running backpack
-
running/cycling/skating shirts and shorts, compression and other sport socks
-
swimming gear (cap, glasses, trunks)
-
2 x 494g Biotech USA Nitro Pure Whey protein + shaker
-
Biotech USA Vitamin complex, Vitamin D, Coral Ca/Mg
Everything ready to
collect a serious amount of miles in the house cup for the Faculty
Lounge of the Hogwarts
Running Club!
