It’s been already some time, but I’m not exactly the most regular, so:
The 6th Berlin Airport Run – 22 April, 2012. Official Half-marathon but with a 10k option. Option which I chose for the first ever event like that for me.
It was nice to prepare with a goal. You know you have to do 10k, no more, no less. 10 kilometers and you only have to beat yourself. I did it, at least – 1:02:13 race time. So far, so good. What I didn’t think is that there are going to be so many people – I don’t really know how many thousands there were. You run on the track and you really hear the multiple drums that other’s shoes and the track were improvising. Very nice. You finish and by some accident your finish is matching with the one of the fastest half-marathoners. People applaud them, but you feel proud. You run faster. 
I finished and even forgot to stop my watch – had to kiss my girl first. She was there, right after the finish line waiting for me.
Let’s see what is next
Amazed by the fact that u had set your goal, aware of the surroundings, and irrespective of fact you knew it will take time for you to finish the race, your actual aim was to”I BEAT MYSELF”. By the way you blogged yourself to the world, it sems like a movie scene and a perfect happy ending. As in the end your gal was waiting for you and it must be worth everything and a picture perfect ending.

Good for you to finish a 10K race. Running is not for me altho I did a Burning Boot walk that was 62K at one point in my life. Took me 14 hours and nearly finished me off!
10K run impressive. Wonder what a Burning Boot walk is all about?
