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

PEEK-A-BOO

I'm back. And running.

After one failed and one aborted attempt, I'm getting desperate to complete a marathon. Promised myself I would do so before turning 50, which is less than a year away now.

I've signed up for Amsterdam again (19 October). This time I have running mates. Sebas registered, so has one of his colleagues, and I'm working on Luc. Nothing like creating a bit of peer pressure for pushing me through the hard bits.

But my first target is the Brussels 20k, on May 25th. I'm hoping to finish in under 1:50. Sebas is joining for that one, too.

I'm currently doing about 30k per week. Not enough, but if I look at my schedule for the near future it's not going to change significantly any time soon...
