mariken run 2009

this morning i woke up at 07:25 and got myself ready and put on my running clothes. when i looked out of the window i saw that it was raining outside but it was not cold. i eat some breakfast and went outside with my dog than i left to my mom's place to see if she was ready and she was ready too so we went by car to the train station where we met more ladies of our running team. they all went to nijmegen for the marikenrun cause this run is only for women :-) so no men are allowed to run this race :-) the way to nijmegen was fun in the train and in no time we were in nijmegen where we had to take this small train to another station in nijmegen it was just one station further so we went out of the train and walked to the place the start would be.First we picked up our t-shirts and we bought this pink cap as well. the 5km started at 13:00 and everyone had their own color so they knew in which box they had to wait for the start. before we had this warming up when we were in our boxes waiting so that was fun a lot of people doing warming up together. it was still a little chilly and very cloudy but when we started the sun came through and it started to get a litter warmer so that was good. the run went fine. my mom also tried to run she has some problems with her knee but really wanted to run so badly but she did very good on it she had the time on the 5km of 34:00 and i had this time of 33:00 on the 5km. the 10km started at 14:00 so when we were back we watched the 10km coming over the finish. than we left back home. it was a fun day so up to next year marikenrun :-)
