Half an M.

We did it! We both ran half a marathon. It was a very, very tough and great experience. We were in Kampen and we had to run 7 laps through a park there. The first round I ran with my brother, then from there we both grabbed our own speed. It was cold, but okay the first few rounds, but then the wind and snow started to really hit hard. My knees were killing me and my ankle was struggling a little bit because of a little snowslip in the beginning but I made it to the finish line. I hope at some point when we’re back in Italy to upload a few pictures where it’s possible to see how enthusiastic we were in the beginning, and how beat up we were in the end. 1 hour and 48 minutes after I started, I finished. I could hardly walk the two days after that but it was worth it. Today is the first day since then that I am considering running again, since we legs finally feel normal again. It was a special day, to run half a marathon with your brother, while a few people you care deeply about are watching and supporting you, I will remember that. Now I’m going to run a bit shorter distances for a while :)
