Astazi, pe o ploaie mocaneasca neintrerupta, am facut cursa de 20k in cadrul Challenge-ului de la Ste Anne de Bellevue (vestul Montréalului), in 1:46:00 (timp de pe ceasul meu). Cam jumatate din cursa e pe gravel, in padure. Dureri de biceps femural pe final, cursa prost abordata, cu viteza prea mare pe prima jumatate si cu pregatire aproape nula (de doua luni aproape ca nu am alergat). Ca pregatire pentru maratonul de la Quebec, din 24 august, e ok, chiar daca timpul e asa cum e.

I've just registered for the Barcelona Marathon, on the first of March, 2009. I know, it's rather far from now and it's the third marathon I registered for without ever finishing one: the first will be this month, on 26th of august, in Quebec and the second on the 14th of september, in Montreal. I'm looking for a second marathon in the fall of 2009 and I think I'll stick to 2 marathons a year. What I would like to do though is to pick a different location every time, an exotic or at least a cultural one if possible. This year is Canada's turn, next year it will be all European, so I'll probably look for Berlin or rather Amsterdam, which is on octobre 19th. Barcelona on the first of march and Amsterdam on october 19th; that sounds quite interesting to me.
