Greetings,
The past few weeks have been much better than the previous six months when it comes to the training and motivation. The condition seems to improve slowly, but steadily. Now I hope to be able to maintain the trend through the whole summer.
My next race is already scheduled – I had a bit of luck in a lottery arranged by Autohaus Merten on Facebook. My great thank you goes to the company for the delightful surprise! I won a starting place at 2. Bremer Brückenlauf in about three weeks. It will be my first half marathon for about two years. Obviously after the lousy training year my target is pretty moderate, to finish with a time of under 1:45:00. All in all this will be a great opportunity to build up for the next marathon in September.
The Bremer Brückenlauf will be organized for the second time this year. Last year I was not able to participate so I’m really excited about this. The running route follows the outskirts of the river Weser and like to German name denotes, the main topic is the bridges over the river and crossing them.
The remaining time allows no special preparements or training to be made so I basically want to proceed like I have done during the past two weeks. Just to get some more miles and get used to a bit longer runs than what I have accomplished lately.
