Ok I did it - my 1st long run since arriving on Taiwan soil. My earlier attempts were either rained out or I was traveling. But yesterday I ran the half marathon (ING Marathon Taiwan) in 2:39. The winners did the full marathon in roughly the same time ;) As my colleague Paula puts it, 'the Kenyans had longer legs, legs up to the height of my shoulders' ... hmm ... is she making fun of me? *shrug*
It was beautiful, 15degrees and then the sun came out and it warmed up to 20degrees. A beautiful day out.
I was doing good til about the 12k mark, then I started to feel like my legs were lead. Perhaps, I am getting a bit too old for this? ..... nah! Next race Carrefore half marathon!
