It’s on.
The Cologne marathon is only nine days away and as you might remember, i’m in not only for the marathon itself, but also the half marathon before that. Now i had some problems with a toe nail that seemed to be bloodshot then again maybe not. Anyways it was hurting and it didn’t seem to be a good idea to force it into running shoes. It’s okay now – more or less and although i didn’t get any serious mileage in since the race in Winschoten i will go and run these 63k on October 4. It won’t be a race for me really, but the Cologne marathon has a great atmosphere and hey – i just want that medal. Ultra runners are starting ahead of the main pack so i guess it will be kinda depressing being passed by thousands. So that sunday it’ll be a lesson in humility for me. But then again knowing myself i’ll have about twenty people pass me, then fire it up and pay later. Will i ever learn?
