Die wahren Running Diaries: “Mit 30 bin ich jetzt gesünder und fitter als ich es je in meinen Zwanzigern war.”

Hi, mein Name ist Hong und ich lebe in Berlin. Früher gehörte ich zu den Menschen, die von sich dachten, sie seien keine Runner:innen. Mittlerweile trainiere ich für meinen 7. Marathon. Ich mache fast täglich Sport und mir ist total wichtig, dass ich mich dabei wohlfühle. Denn ich mag’s gern gemütlich.

Für mich kann es eine Herausforderung sein, mein Training in meiner busy Woche unterzubringen und mit Spaß an der Sache zu bleiben. Um die Motivation nicht zu verlieren, muss ich mich wohlfühlen. Das fängt zum Beispiel bei der Wahl der Laufschuhe an und geht über deine Running-Community bis hin zum Snack danach. So kann eine typische Workout-Woche bei mir aussehen: read more

On the surface, white elephant gift exchanges seem plain and simple. Everyone brings a gift, you swap them, fight for the coolest one, and (hopefully) go home with the best gift of all. But in our experience, these Dirty Santa swaps require much more effort than you might initially think. For starters, who is your audience? With this question comes a slew of others like should your gift be funny? Risqué? Totally normal? On top of that, how much do you have to spend? Over 100? Under 10? As for the final question: What in the world are you supposed to get? read more
