Diary of what followed after I finally succeeded in completing a marathon just in time, before my 50th birthday.

ROAD TO RECOVERY

Weight: 76 kilos
Time spent running since 15 November: 46 hours 18 minutes
Distance run since 15 November: 440.6 kilometers
Time left: 6 weeks

Finally I'm doing some serious mileage again. Today, in Tervuren, I managed an over two hours run (2h11m). It had been a long time. Mind you, according to my training schedule I should be doing four-hour runs by now. This means that I'll arrive in Rotterdam half ready. Also means I have to stay very focused for the rest of this month.

Here's my race schedule (well... ideally):

25 March
A 25k run from Wavre to Brussels (Auderghem)

15 April
The big one: my first marathon, in Rotterdam

6 May
The 15k run through the historic centre of lovely Bruges, which also last year was my warming up for...

27 May
The wonderful event that is the 20k of Brussels

That would add up to a bit over 100 kilometers of races.

But for now, I'll focus entirely on that 25k. If I get through that one alright, then I should have a fair chance of finishing the marathon.
