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

Still going (though not so strong)

45 Minutes on Saturday morning around Sterrebeek, 75 minutes on Sunday morning around Ermelo. Tomorrow night I should be doing at least one hour around Geneva. The 20k is now only 13 days away. My last long training should be on Sunday afternoon in Sydney, my last short training on the 28th at lunchtime in Jette.

Timely boost

Wasn't too sure about running in Bruges, as I am far from fit. But with the 20k only three weeks away, I had to put myself to the test.

I finished in just under 1:20, whereas I was hoping for under 1:30. Success factors included the great weather (about 15 degrees and overcast, virtually no wind), the pain killers I am taking for my dental troubles, and Jarabe de Palo on my iPod.

Bonito, todo me parece bonito.
