Story

As a kid I watched my dad running round Brussels on the 20 km race.I could not understand how you could run such a long time without stopping. I was amazed. 

I ran as a kid until 15 years old and stopped. 6 years ago I ran my first 20 km in Brussels. First training I ran the long distance of ...300 meters and walked 2.5 km.Then my wife called the ambulance as I could not move out of my bed.:-) All fine just running that distance  was too much.

If anybody had told me that I would run a marathon Sunday 03 04 2016 I would have laughed.

And here I am at the step of it. I will update my time once done.

Paris marathon 2016 4h38 minutes.

Best time on 20km 1hour 48 minutes.

We 'll see this year.

Thank you all for your donations to the giraffe project.

Chris
