The double-line between start and finish resembles 'average comfort'. The y-axis resembles LIFE, the x-axis PROGRESS.

Snow training goes trough four phases. The curve reflects the perception of WELLBEING, FUN, JOY.

a) Initially descending towards 0 trough the first SUCK stage;

b) STABILISING in phase 2;

c) Ascending trough phase 3 (flowstate 1);

d) Rising towards flow state 2.

Simple, home cooked meal on the knee after training. Beetle root, garlic, spinach, tofu, red pepper, avacado and ginger.

Two people, I both had the honour to portray in a film, about food.

"Food should be something to chew on."

Before- and ready for night training. What a Dutch footballcoach would call the three S's: Short, dark and sweet and langzaam. Long enough to experience the full flow chart. Trough the hills towards the sea and back. Always it is that 'back' that does the trick (in building strength and clarity). You can not quit. Whereas on a treadmill: what's at stake apart from merely being a repetition of rat race itself?

Post training today. Spring in the air. Spring on the ground. Barefoot 15K in the dunes and on the beach. Only one thorn. Sometimes none. Most severe 'injuries' happen at home. Small pieces of glass are worst. Thorns or glass, a sharp scalpel, such as the knife bought at the local art-material shop, are best to remove them. Thin and sharp. Small thorns need to be removed after the training. They can and will cause trouble. However small, they cause pain that seems out of tune to their size (sometimes very small, causing sharp pain during walking). The foot must be full of nerves. Which is a miracle. It allows to run over all these different surfaces (stones, asphalt, shells). Giving protection. While remaining sensitive. Tough and sensitive at the same time.
