"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that."
-Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

Running-wise, the usual: 10K on Wednesday, 5.8K on Friday, and another 5.8K coming up tonight.

Btw, to all you couch-to-5K people: that was me 18 months ago, struggling to run 5 minutes at a stretch. It's amazing how you automatically get better at running if you just keep doing it.

Favourite moment: as I was chugging along on the other side of the river, poplar seeds floating all around me like fluffy snow, and Jacques Brel's Amsterdam comes on the iPod.

Yes, I sang along, as much as my breath would allow me.

Thank you, as one of the couch to 5km people I find that extremely impressive and inspirational :-D

"The usual 10K", haha. I want to be able to say that ;-)

That sounds like a very beautiful moment you had, with the surrounding and the music working together perfectly.
