news...
... it has been a lil quiet over here, but I promise you won't be bored in the next months... I am going to share with you the process of starting my own business as a graphic designer. I hope you will motivate me to work toward this big goal of mine and I can update you with my progress. The blog will get a facelift for spring and I am going to have some giveaways too, so stay tuned... I hope that the freshness wind of spring will give me tons of great ideas and endurance to stick to fullfilling them. You will be a part of this!

the happiness project
I am generally a very optimistic and happy person (see blog name) and love setting goals for myself. I think you already know it from training for races, starting swimming etc. but for this year I have a new concept! For every month I will set 3 goals and each month I will try to pay attention to these (and keep the ones from before)
January is almost over and I had a few goals til now:
- do the 21 days mind and body challange - I did it with some slight modifications (in order to have more energy for my marathon traning)
- train for the marathon - ongoing
- swim 3 times a week - at least 2 or 3 times
- plant kale -yes i did!
- start a compost - I finally did it!!! :)
February goals:
- go to sleep earlier - at 22h - usually we are in bed between 23 and 24h but I try to sqeeze it more in order to be fit at 5.45 when we wake up
-(stick to the running plan - listen to my body)
- toss, restore, organize - in general keep it tidy at home - I started to do this already last year: before leaving the house and going to be, put things in place, anything which taked less then a minute to do (like put back the hairdryer on its place etc.) I must be better in this and walk around with an open eye!

everything is possible...
Last week I run the highest milage ever in my life. (62,7 km) ... and this number will grow now with every week... on one hand I feel so empowered and super fit, on the other I am scared so much of the 42kms (in 2 months)... I know that I should run for the fun and not think about times - but it is hard... I know, that this is going to be my first marathon and I should just concentrate on enjoying and finishing it... so I try to incorporate that mindset in my training, not to overthink things. Just go out (even if it is hard to wake up now in the winter) and see the beauty around me...
Two weeks ago I started to run to work (15.5 km) and it became a habit now :) today I came again with a huge bag of clothes, towels and food to leave it here, since tomorrow is wednesday - and I am running to work! It is so exciting! :) The route goes thru 3 cities and last week I found a few less busy streets and little parks with palmtrees, which were amazing. Can't wait for tomorrow!
What is with the detox? I am still prepairing daily raw salads with nuts and cooking soups, wildrice, quinoa with a lots of veggies. No alcohol, no coffe, no sugar (only agave nectar), I eat gluten, even white flour from time to time (but very little bread)-... I baked these amazing chickpea brownies and we devoured them in 2 days. You mus try them too!
