Today I ran a short 10 km “Marathon test” in 00:49:48. This run was sponsored by Nike and around 1000 people joined in. Initially I planned to get a time below 45 minutes but I have a lot of good excuses for not getting there .. I’m not kidding, I have excuses such as “very cold weather”, “too much red wine the night before”, “not fully motivated”, etc.

The next test run is a 15 km run and I believe and hope it’s possible to do it below 04:50 min/km unless I come up with another set of excuses.
