I registered for a half marathon in June. It is official, I know. But shall they cancel it or not, the goal is to get prepared no matter what. That’s the fun of it. And that’s what keeps me motivated to improve – because I am very happy with my cool running routine otherwise, althoughContinue reading “Commitment”

From the sky
Magical. The flight was very long, but magical. Snowy mountains expressing all their beauty, the rivers flowing as veins in our body, the sun not completely arisen but bright in this beginning of the day. The ice was sparkling like delicate aluminum sheets disposed on an immense cream cake. Even the stewards and stewardesses wereContinue reading “From the sky”
Another week
The weekend went fast. The weather was mild, clouds dispersed, and every day few minutes more of sunlight… I heard for the first time the children ice-skating on the ponds and joyfully screaming, while the ice itself cracked on the ledges of the lakes with a thud. Deers, squirrels and foxes running in front ofContinue reading “Another week”
Des petits riens*
Memories…. That was one of my first record, I was about 8 at that time… And I don’t think I heard that many time since then, although I remembered the melody like I would have played it yesterday: “Les petits riens**” from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I heard it this morning on the road, on theContinue reading “Des petits riens*”
Positivity
I realised few days ago that I post mostly positive thoughts. It is not that I see “la vie en rose”, nor that nothing negative happens to me, nor that I am always happy. And don’t think that I am hiding the worse that happens to me either: 6 “negative” posts are waiting in theContinue reading “Positivity”
Like a Sunday
Today is Sunday. Sundays are synonyms of long runs, happiness, and calm. So here is what happened today: A Skype with my loved ones in Singapore, namely Fidel, Jules and Lea; Building a snow man after plowing the path for the first time in my life (as far as I remember); 14 km run atContinue reading “Like a Sunday”
Mr. Jo
Today I met Mr. Jo. Mr. Jo is the fruit of my excitement, born from the soft and white snow that felt this night…. Mr. Jo has a big belly, few hairs, big eyes and a cigar. He is welcoming anyone who wants to come in my home! I met him as I was busyContinue reading “Mr. Jo”
Bon Anniversaire!*
Tomorrow, heumm, today in Singapore, is a very special day: the birthday of Lea! Bon anniversaire Lea! I just talked to her together with Jules and Fidel as they were preparing to go to school. 11 years old, and her life ahead! Did I mention already that I have the most beautiful children in theContinue reading “Bon Anniversaire!*”
An earnest day
It’s been a busy week. Lots of reports, summaries and data to analyse, but also lots of meetings, because people come back from the holidays, which holiday season lasted in fact more or less since Thanksgiving! But today was a bit special. I didn’t expect this day to be so special but it was veryContinue reading “An earnest day”
Colorful
I got internet this weekend. So I can write here again. I settled a bit more in my new home; enjoyed a couple of sunrises and sunsets; went for two runs in the surrounding in one and the other direction; but mostly moved all the boxes, suitcases, bike and clothes from one house to theContinue reading “Colorful”
