marathon of enschede

at 8 this morning i woke up and got into my running clothes and shoes. eat breakfast got some tea and went outside with my dog after i went to my mom's house and we took off to enschede. it was a bit hard to get to the parking lot where we wanted to park the car but finally we found it than we went to the saxion a school where we got our start numbers than we left back to the car to put the things away and got ready. after we walked to the start/finish place we saw the marathon leaving and than at 11:05 the cityrun started me and my mom runned the 5 mile (8km) it got a bit warm so it was a little hard. i started to run slowely but when i was warm i left my mom behind and went faster. during the run i got some pain in my ribs but i found out a way to get rid of it quickly. we had twice a water post so that was good. when i was almost at the finish i could make a sprint. on the route we had lots of music as well so i runned very well and my time was good a lot better than last year so i'm proud of myself again. up to the next run

half marathon of Hengelo

this morning around 9 in the morning after a good night sleep i woke up and got dressed into my running clothes. i eat breakfast went out with my dog give him food and after i went to my mom's place and we took off by car to the FBK stadion in my city for the run. we got out start numbers at a gym hal next to the stadion and see who was around we saw some friends of us we know from our vacation their son is running too the 21km. me and my mom did the 5km. first the bambino and kids had their run after the 21, 15 and 10 started and when they left the stadion the 5km got ready at the start. after some time the start shot went and we started to run when we left the stadion i got it a bit warm and i left my mom behind me and it stayed that way during the run it was hard and i got a bit thirsty and did not had the time to drink something or walk cause i did not want my mom to get closer to me so it was hard running and the roads were a hard time too but i made it till the finish had some pain during the run but i did not give up and made it and was happy about it :-) so up to the next run in two weeks again an 8km run so hopefully i can beat my time at the 8km.
