2nd Scheßlitzer Osterlauf: 10km – 33:15 (3rd place)

April 18, 2009

After deciding not to run the Osterlauf in Paderborn we (my coach and I) thought it would be a good training to run the Osterlauf in Schesslitz 2 days after the planned start in Paderborn. I achieved my goal of reaching the finish line and not dropping out of the race. After the DNF of the German Halfmarathon Championships and some bad training runs it was important to get the mind free again. Time and place are of course not what I would have expected 1 month ago, but at least I could fight through some downtimes during the race and at the end I even caught the 3rd place runner. Anyway I’m far away from being fit and the expectations for the spring season are scaled down.
