Running
Yesterday I was running 5 km in 25 minutes. A fact of which I am slightly proud, although I think I probably could have done even better, but hey! one year ago I was still smoking, and I had not been running for years and years. So its good and I'm happy.
The event itself is one of the largest running events in the world. over a period of 5 days 21000 teams of 5 members each (that's more than 100000 people) will compete in 5x5 km relay. 250 people start every minute until all teams are running.
Running was something else. I started 4'Th and when I got the depeche it started more like a obstacle course and I had to sidestep and jump to get past people and out of the starting area. But once we were out of the gate it became easier and I could start to enjoy the whole experience. It was great for morale to overtake other runners even though it was not always easy cause it was crazy crowded.
I think part of the fun is that is is a little crazy, it's held in a park in the middle of Copenhagen, so the traffic is chaos from the beginning, and it only gets worse once the running starts.
Today I'm a bit tired, and I probably wont run tomorrow, but soon and I'm going to get faster next year.

So.
Tell me how you went about quitting the evil, wicked, dirty, sickening cigarette habit!
And don't forget to post the video of your run. Your fans must see you in shorts!
Shorts!!!
There is no video footage of the event, you will have to settle for your imagination on the subject of me in shorts - and as it were I wore tights that day.
On quitting smoking - I think I'll write a post on that in a little while.
