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

BACK AT IT

Since 15 November: 70 hours 12 minutes, 649.2 kilometers
Weight: 76 kilos

The week after the failed first attempt at finishing a marathon, I did not train. Only in the weekend, when we were with my family on the lovely island of Texel, did I run a few kilometers.

Since, I have picked it up again. I have to, as the 15k of Bruges is now only a week away. And I've set myself a cautious speed target: finish in less then 90 minutes. Last year I took 93 minutes and a bit, so it should be doable.

Secretly I hope to get close to 85 minutes. After all, I'm much better trained than I was a year ago.
