Running around Copenhagen

I completed the Sparta Copenhagen half marathon on Sunday 15 April. I decided to take it easy and to get a feel for the flat terrain in Copenhagen. The half marathon makes up part of the full marathon course, so that's also why I  decided to do it. I have to say I really enjoyed the run. Even though it wasn't a particularly fast time (2:07:11), I felt good throughout the run. And I experienced the energy rush from the energy gels. Soon after eating one I felt like I was floating along, and it was effortless to run. But then I came down from the sugar high at 19km, and had to focus on getting home. I upped my pace at that stage, and tried to run at a faster pace for the last 2km. I was very grateful to Esben and Jens (Esben's dad) for coming along to support me! Jens took some nice and some not so nice photos! (will post shortly) Always good to have the memories :o) This week I plan to run a 30km run. Fingers crossed all goes well - it's just quite difficult to find the time to fit it in!

Just a reminder that I'll be running the Copenhagen marathon on May 20, and I'm raising funds for the Irish Cancer Society. If you would like to donate online, please click on the button below.
