Rennen Rennt

Today my host family, one of the besties here Rennen, and I ran the "VVO OberElbe Marathon," (just the 10k section of it), in Dresden. This was not only the farthest race I have ever ran, but we all did it with minimal training. I am happy that I did it and it was a good experience however, long-distance running is just not for me. At the 5k mark, I really considered faking a rolled-ankle so I wouldn't have to keep running LOL. Rennen was a great friend and stayed with me throughout the entirety of the race although he is a long distance runner himself and could have EASILY ran far ahead. My time was 1 hour and 5 minutes. At the finish, we got a medal and coupons for noodles and beer!
