#Running with the new pair of shoes today [see my previous toot], only 8 km in 0:50 today but I felt I can't do more, at least for now...

Today's story: Why was I #running?
I needed to take the kid to a birthday party and then pick her up. Instead of waiting for her somewhere, I went to the nearby park and ran 27 km in 3:17 (7:15/km pace). :-D
If the birthday party was a couple of hours longer -- who knows, maybe I would have reached 42 km? ;-)

37 degrees Celsius and up, blazing sun, and I managed to keep #running for only 10.5 km/1:15... It is what it is.

#Running again 1/4 marathon distance -- 11 km in 1:05 (6:00/km pace). A pretty good run. :)

When #running today (14 km in 1:43, 7:15/km av. -- 1/3 marathon distance) I found some huge green pumpkins growing in the wild, and a book about fat loss. I didn't take the book -- I don't think I need it. :-D

15.3 km in 1:47 (7:00/min pace) after more than 5 weeks (!!) pause in my #running sessions... I feel totally off, and what's more, I have signed up for two marathons! One is this Sunday (5 km) and the other is exactly a week later (42.2 km). Hmm. :-D

Now I'm resting and my wife (@molif) and kid (Simona) are #running their 2.5 km, I'm feeling so proud! โค๏ธ

Today's #running training day 025/2024 ๐ was OK:
21.5 km in 2:26 (6:50/km)
I am ready for a half-marathon! The problem is, this upcoming Sunday I'm running the full marathon distance at the Sofia WizzAir Marathon. :-D I'm not sure I can run double this distance in one go...
#RunMichelRun
The game is afoot! I'm #running this Sunday! :-) Just got my RFID number (I'm 933) and everything else.

Mission Impossible -- Sofia WizzAir Marathon complete!
Distance: 42.2 km or more (note: according to my phone GPS it was 45.0 km, but I know GPS modules have 2-3 % margin of error)
RFID chip time: 4:59:11
I'm on 563 place in men (out of 678 who signed up) and I'm proud. :)
(Note: I started tracking the run on the 11th minute, the logged GPS distance was 43.9 km, so it should be 45 km or more, when I add the missing 10-11 minutes.)

Now I'll take some rest.
