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

Sunday 15 August 2010

Super fast (but maybe not)

The bus that would drive the runners in the Zaventem 5k to the start broke down. The organisers improvised an alternative route, with start and finish in the same place.

It rained a bit, but there was little wind. I tried running in a slightly higher rhythm with a shorter stride.

Result: 00:22:25. If it really was 5k, then this would be the fastest run I've done. Ever.

But I think it may have been more like 4.5k, to be honest.

Sanna did the 300m again and finished 6th (in a field of 12). Last year she took 00:02:23, this year 00:01:33. Now THAT'S improvement!
