7 hills run

Sunday morning i woke up at 7 and got my running clothes together and put in a bag and put on my running shoes. got outside with the dog and feed him than i went to my parents place. my mom was ready too so my dad brought us by car to the train station. at 09:25 marleen and martin arrived at the train station and some minutes later the train arrived we stepped into the train till deventer there we had to switch train to nijmegen. around 11:00 we arrived in nijmegen centre and we first saw where we can get our t-shirts with the logo of the 7 hills on it we bought. when we had that we went to the dressing room to get dressed into our running clothes than we went to find a cafe/restaurant to have something to eat and tea after that it was time to get to the start. the black 1 was starting at 12:30 martin was in black 1 and me, my mom and marleen were in black 3 so martin told us to start with the black 1 so we did. We had to run 15km it was a hard race and a lot of climbing and hills :-( around the 4km i felt like throwing up but at the 5km we had a water post so i drunk some water and than i felt well again so i runned till around the 8km than i got pain in some muscles and it got harder than the last 4km was very hard and some parts i just walked. i had some moments that i thought i'll give up and sit down but i did not. i had a time of 1hour and 49minutes so that was good for me :-) and at the finish i got a medal :-) well up to next year run.
