the marathon (21km) in enschede

This morning I woke up and i was a little nervous and excited too cause my mom and i went to enschede to run the 21km. i just have been running a year the 5km and some weeks before in hengelo my first 10km. My uncle was doing the 42km and his daughter the 21km as well. my aunt was just watching the marathon. Around 10 in the morning my father dropped my mom and me off in the city of enschede. first we walked around a little and looked around. At 11 o'clock the marathon started so my mom and i had a look. she tought she had seen her brother but wasn't sure about it. when the marathon was gone we walked around and suddenly we saw my causin and her mom walking so my mom and i walked to them and said "hi" and talked a little than my causin was going to get ready for her run and me and my mom got ourselfs ready too. at 12:45 the half marathon started aaahhh. when we were waiting for the start i was so exciting. my mom and me walked all way together. it was warm but the first 15km went fine but at the 16th km it got harder but i did not give up and my mom and i made it exactly on time :-) my causin had already finished. now we had to wait for my uncle to finish. when he finished and we all got our t-shirt and presents we eat and drink something together and talked a little so it was a fun day :-) next year i will run again ofcourse :-)
