My running in next 6 months and a bit
It is just a quick post to give an update on my plans for running for next half a year. After finishing Nike10k and Royal Parks Half Marathon I wanted to line up some next run, preferably a full marathon to give me some target and motivation for training. Obvious choice was London Flora Marathon but I didn’t get a place in the ballot. After quick research what’s happening in Europe in early April I decided to register for Paris Marathon which will take place on 5th of April 2009. I read some good reviews online and it should be amazing run to do with route in the heart of Paris starting and finishing on Champs Elysées with a long stretch along Seine.
As it is going to be my first Marathon I wanted to run some other longer run just before Paris to boost my confidence and I have chosen Half Marathon in Lisbon, Portugal which is 2 weeks before on 22nd of March 2009. I decided to do that one because of the weather which should be better than in UK or NSE (Non-South of Europe :). Plus, I have never been to Lisbon and I found the location of the run very appealing. Just check out the photos!
And the last but not least on my calendar the Bupa 10k in London on 25th of May 2009. It should be quite fun run! The race starts on Birdcage Walk and follows an anti-clockwise route around the City of Westminster and the City of London via Parliament Square, Embankment, Blackfriars Bridge, Queen Victoria Street, Cannon Street, Great Tower Street, Crutched Friars, Fenchurch Street, Leadenhall Market, Cornhill, Queen Victoria Street, Puddle Dock, Embankment, Horseguards Avenue, Whitehall and via Trafalgar Square to the Finish in The Mall.
Congratulations for Gabby for finishing her first 10k couple of weeks ago!
