Set on Fire

What a tough day! It actually started peacefully with 4K (4min pace) on a treadmill in Berlin. After breakfast I checked my mobile and I had received a text message from my good friend, running mate and colleague where he stated that he had finished Dubai Marathon in 3h07m25s .. D… 1m15s faster than my PR on marathon. Quite impressive – his second marathon (the first done in approx 3h40m) and already close to 3 hours.

But then I had to listen to all my colleagues taunting me about his result for a whole day – and even our CEO announced on his company-wide session, pointing at me, that he was sure I was up for the challenge.

The sad thing is he is right – I am set on fire. I want a new PR on marathon – and this time it has to be under 3 hours !!

And on the road there I want to set PR’s on 10K, 15K, 21.1K – and if I can keep free of injuries, I want to hold it and run more than 70K at the 6 hours endurance race in Grenå. And, and, and..

Tomorrow is the first day…
