Running, the numbers
At the end of October last year I ran the Amsterdam Half Marathon, with a goal time of under 1:30. It finished in the Olympic Stadium, crowds in the stands, very grandiose. On the top of the finish line, after a lap around the track, was a big clock, and as it came into sight, I saw it was on something like 1:29:52. I sprinted as best I could, but got a text shortly afterwards, congratulations, you finished in 1:30:05. Frustrating. But, close. A bit more training, and I could blast out those six seconds. I signed up for the London Winter 10k, set for February 9, and the Paris Half Marathon, March 1. Smash it.
