This damn thing called running. Me against the Marathon.

Know that it took me so long to write about this marathon because I’m still up a bit on Cloud no. 9 so to say. It falls into the “holy shit you did it” category. I mean, you literally friggin’ did it! I’ve waited for this damn marathon for 4 months. Not only that I’ve waited for it, but I’ve worked for it after at some point I had actually decided to postpone it for next year. And now that it finally happened, it kind of went by too fast, you know what I mean?

Bine daca ma intrebati pe la km 38 cred ca aveam alte pareri, dar dupa razboi multi viteji s-arata, asa ca dati-va la o parte ca-s cu pieptul in fata!!! Sa vedem. Alerg de fix un an si vreo 5 luni. In timpul asta am stricat si am reparat niste chestii, am aflat niste lucruri, am evoluat in altele, m-am imbunatatit overall. E greu. E greu pentru ca vreau mai mult, dar timpul pentru antrenamente si disciplina in multe de la somn, recuperare si nutrititie sunt greu de obtinut cand lucrezi 9 ore pe zi si pierzi cam 2 in trafic. E greu sa fi atlet corporatist (ce-am zi
