20km of Brussels

Sunday, May 27. 2007

Today was the Brussels 20km (half) marathon. I didn't participate because I was busy doing battle with an Emsen, wielding only a Fixa (bloody Swedes), but a mate of mine did run today.

John: my congratulations on the achievement! I feel sufficiently like a fat-bastard now, possibly even enough to encourage me to get fit for next year's run on May 25^th 2008. Maybe even the ING Brussels Marathon, since it's basically a choice between a 5km, 20km or 40km run back to my apartment. Hmm…

Thanks Simon. It wasn’t easy (these things never are) but if you do decide to compete in some race, for gods sake don’t do it the stupid way I did. Get some proper training in.

I guess the question is: Would you do it again?

Yes, but not in the same way. Less weight and more preparation.

There’s a 10km run in September for Cancer Research, which I plan to do. That one will be run for speed, not just to see if I can.

I love the way it comes across that the reason you didn’t run was because you were making holes in a sink… :)
