new year, new run

we had our first run in our area on sunday. big s. and my sister took part but choconet the chicken didn't. i'm just not in good shape. went jogging only twice this year. but i promise i'll do more workout in the near future - at least i will take part in a run in april and then more will follow.

and i have a new friend who will help me to overcome my laziness and who will give me more motivation.
beim 1. lauf für dieses jahr in unserer gegend war ich leider nur zuschauer. während meine schwester und big s. bei regen schwitzten, war ich nur für kindsbespaßung und fotografie zuständig. da ich bisher nur 2 mal joggen war, habe ich mich einfach nicht getraut. doch ich gelobe besserung und spätestens im april will ich auch für einen lauf antreten und weitere werden hoffentlich folgen. schließlich habe ich auch einen neuen freund namens ipod, der mir mehr motivation geben soll.

my cultural contribution

for this week is my theatre visit. the american drama group had a guest performance in my city and so i had the opportunity to watch "harold and maude" in english. the american drama group is a small team of actors which travels through europe (and some asian states) and brings the english language nearer to the people. watch out, if they should be in your city one day, it's absolutely worth a visit. i had seen them playing "romeo and juliet" and "hamlet" before and i will surely watch their next play.

mein kultureller beitrag (mal abgesehen vom kino gestern "my blueberry nights") für diese woche war "harold and maude" in englisch. die american drama group gastierte mal wieder in meiner stadt und ich war mit einer freundin und ein paar leuten aus meinem kurs natürlich wieder dabei. die stücke von der adg sind wirklich jedem zu empfehlen, der ein wenig englisch kann.
