I have run the Terwa half marathon again in Oulu. The attitude was great again lots of people were cheering us. My plan was to take it easy and enjoy it and not to rush and try to get a better time. So I took a small walk at the drink stops and strech my legs and took a nap ;-) It worked almost well I enjoyed it except the last 2kms. My time was 2:05, I think those 5 minutes were worth not to feel bad afterwards.
I was a bit surprised because I trained on a route in the forest and 20kms weren't a problem, but running on the concrete roads make my legs hurt a lot. When I was biking home I saw the full marathon runners reaching their final stop and I felt great respect towards them. It made wonder how should I train to my first marathon? Currently it would be really problematic. Anyway big respect to the runners once more!
