alright here is a working solution I found (since I am only answering myself^^) if anybody is interested:

Code:
uptime | sed 's/.*up \(.*\),.*user.*/\1/' | awk  '{sub(":", " hours ", $0);  sub(" mins", " min", $0); sub(" secs", " sec", $0); sub("hrs", "hours", $0); sub(",", "", $0); print "uptime: " $0 " min"}' | awk ' {sub( "min min", "min", $0); sub( "hours min", "hours", $0); sub( "secs min", "sec", $0);  sub( "day min", "day", $0);  sub( "days min", "days", $0); print  $0}'


here is a short explanation: the second awk is there to get rid of unwanted output like secmin, minsmin, hoursmin etc.
so with two awk commands I got my desired output which looks like this

uptime: 3 days 9 hours 29 min
