So, this morning I woke up and ran a halfmarathon. I haven't ran that far since way pre-dissertation, so I was really happy that my body remembers how to run so far!!! Oscar and some friends from work came to cheer me on. Then a colleague of ours at work made brunch for a bunch of us! He is from Ireland and is extremely funny. His girlfriend recently moved here and she is really cool.
So, the halfmarathon was called Nikolauslauf Tuebingen Halbmaraton http://www.nikolauslauf-tuebingen.de/. I was aiming for getting under 2 hours and I got 1:59:59. Well- that is without the 30 seconds subtraction that I would get-- because with all the people that is how long it took me to get to the starting line. ;)
I've ran one other half marathon here in Germany (Berlin, 2005), however this one was quite interesting. It was less people and the people were a lot quieter. Perhaps it was because we were all so out of shape! I'm not sure.
Anyway-- oscar took photos so I will post them soon. But now it is time for dinner. Yummy mac and cheese (the recipe is from Oscar's mom) and salad.
Oscar treats me really well! :) This might have been one of my best birthday weekends EVER!! :)
