Another week closer to running 42.195 KMs!

Just finished the last run of the second week training schedule, a 52 minute run in the Vondelpark. And best of all, I'm running farther in the same time than I have before! :) Completed 2 full laps and ran all the way home from the park in the same time with the same heartbeat, improvement I'd say! Moreover, the sprains and pains in my feet were not getting worse, so thats also good news. I decided to take an extra day rest before heading out again and that helped. Already lost 4 Kgs by the way, good stuff!

On another high note, Jopie now started running as well which is good. I was kinda expecting to see this guy show up at the half-marathon unprepared but I think he is taking it seriously so that's good. Don't think I'll see him using schedules to prepare but hey, he'll pull it off as usual! Moreover, he is keen to add the competitive element and promised that if I run the half-marathon faster than he does in March that he'll run NYC with me, now there's an incentive! :)

This week holds more longer runs but also a faster run, anxious to see how that will go......
