My friend Robert convinced me to go crosstown in the cold to run 10 km along with 3.500 other runners aspiring to run the marathon.
I did and decided to try and hump along with Robert and the 5:30 minutes per km troup. It worked out rather well but was tough for me the last tree quarters of the distance ;-) Seriously the last quarter I was fighting to keep on.
Finished in 53:58 which is better than expected since I started out ready to fallback to the 6:00 mpkm troup.
