I guess I can settle for this. I went out with the expectation of running in the rain. This is also nice

BOOM!! Copenhagen Marathon done and conquered!
The short story: almost all of the race, I was in full control and executed my plan A+; then I had some kms with stomach issues that obviously slowed me down and they were hard; then I overcame it and finished strong. Overall, I truly enjoyed it, and I am most happy, content, and proud of what I just achieved.
I also set a new PR: 4:26:28.
The longer story comes later.

Hmmmm, what a morning! I had slept very well and long (for me, that is), then joined #TeamShorts again and spent some time outside, reveling in this glorious day. Whilst #Running I finished KILL DECISION by Daniel Suarez (what a grande finale). Have a great Sunday, y'all! #applewatchultra2 #audiobooks
Almost a 10K, did a lap by the Mansion at Druid Hill Park to stretch the run out. Slept like and body all
from prescription allergy meds, so this was a much needed run!
I’m on the bench with a knee problem so still no #running but that does mean I’m blasting through all the DIY and garden jobs that need doing instead, including giving our two old ewes a haircut. #SheepOfMastodon
For runners:
Why did you start #running?
I started pretty much by accident - the story's here: https://leroux.ca/the-serendipitous-runner/
TLDR: I was a distance walker, met up with friend who suggested I start running with her, and 19,600KM+ later, here I am.
I've always been fascinated by the stories of how people have started running, and it occurred to me to ask generally here.
#RunnersOfMastodon #ParkRun (boosts okay!)
Sunday morning run (really)
The dug is waiting for me by a familiar corner willing me to speed up. Like many collies he goes onto his belly while waiting - which is fine during the dry weather but contributes to his general grime in the winter. No amount of cajoling has ever got him out of the habit.
14.6k, cool morning (getting out before it warms up), mainly road.
Q: What did it take to get to the starting line of #Cph42?
A: Showing up consistently and a support system.
First, according to the statistics of the #NikeRunClub app, I have covered 546 km in around 55 hours since I started my 18-weeks training plan. I was in fair shape before that.
Second, I have received an insane amount of support, not least from my patient family and from the #running community here. You know who you are. Thank. You. So. Much!!!

#Cph42 is of course a good occasion for mentioning that this month, I run to raise awareness and funding for the Danish Mulitple Sclerosis Society and research into the illness.

For the nerds, here is (some of) my gear and stuff for #Cph42.
Shoes: Nike Pegasus 41
Watch: Casio F-91W
Headphones: Shockz OpenPro Run
Energy: a High5 gel every 5k (mainly citrus and berry flavored)
Guidance: @coachbennett's Marathon Race guided run in the #NikeRunClub app
Music: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6CFyV5lLYoYQEEnmvGlUuY?si=boCDtVBwTqmyCBmlgZyRGQ - The War on Drugs "Nothing to Find" and "Red Eyes" (both studio and live) are instant boosts of energy :-)

Today, I run the Copenhagen Marathon (#Cph42). I've looked forward to this since September.
My goal: to cross the starting line
My hope: to enjoy the race and finish
My pipe dream: to beat my personal record (4:38:25)
I think a new PR is realistic, but all bets are off for the last 10k... I don't fear the marathon, but I do respect it.
I'm runner no. 1624. You can follow along through https://copenhagenmarathon.dk/en/ or the app.

Beautiful warm & sunny #dailyrun along the #rideaucanal & #queenelizabethdrive (won’t be so many of those this year, though, as they’ve really reduced the amount of time it’ll be open for people) #nccbikedays #ottawa #ottrun #run #running

Popped out to support a friend supporting another on a #BobGraham attempt. Andy, who already has the 24 hours Lakes record, definitely had a chance but wasn't to be. 4th fastest of all time though with a 13h 32m. #FellRunning #TrailRunning #running
The Druid Hill Park loop with Bebe! Their first run in a year! Time to prep them up for the Baltimore Pride 5K in June!
Did a run. Started off OK, but the temperature made it hard after a while.
Zurück von einem Lauf. Ging zunächst gut, doch die Temperatur brachte mich dann mächtig ins Schwitzen.
First half marathon distance after two years of being too afraid to attempt it #running
