A very quick check-in one month after the big day. I did get ill, three days after the run. I guess that my resistance was low after the strain of the race, after which it was a good hour before I could get in the shower and change out of the rain soaked gear. Not surprising really that I should catch a cold, which then dragged on in the form of a slightly irritating cough for a couple of weeks. So I didn't get to attempt my personal best 10km two weeks after the marathon that I had planned. It was actually three weeks before I managed to go out for a run again. Next planned race is a ten km in Wales in January. More deetails to follow. I have also registered for the Berlin Half Marathon on 3rd April next year, though I declined the invitation to register for next year's marathon.
Here is a photo of me close to the end of the marathon running through the Brandenburg Gate.
Wow! You still look on good form at that stage! Well done you!
ReplyDeleteVery well done Amogharatna, truly impressive and spending an hour in wet clothes after a run sounds almost more arduous than the run. Glad you got over cold and cough.
