The City-Pier-City run
Mar. 11th, 2013 11:28 amI started running in 2010 when the weather was soft and I was feeling fed up with being cooped inside. I started on a full-time trainee ship in 2009 and I was feeling like I was slowely turning into a desk monkey. I don't do well in a 9-5 environment where you are expected to sit still and act mature all the time. Lucky for me, my current workplace doesn't mind me practicing my dance moves in the hallway.

I decided to set myself a challenge: participate in a running event in 2012: a 5k event in The Hague. Yesterday I participated on the 2013 edition but this time for 10k and as a part of our business team. Since being around crowds and loud music is not something that I naturally enjoy, these are huge challenges for me. I set these challenges because learning to cope with these situations makes me more flexible. Last year I was overwhelmed, this year I felt more at ease. Having a business area helps: a place to keep your stuff, change clothes, have tea, chat and relax, stretch. the weather was against us: app. 2 degrees cecius (Cold!) and a prediction of snow. I started off with three layers of shirts and glvoes. After about 3 km the gloves had to come off (Warm!). I found a coworker who had about the same pace and we ran the whole 10k together. I finished the 10k with a time of 1.06.08 and a feeling of accomplishment.
