Night run in Braunschweig Germany

Forced by some friends I finally found my self registred for the 9 k run yesterday here in Braunschweig. Also I have a long history in endurance running, my curent fitness state is a little bit... honestly... out of state.

Anyhow, it was like always. As soon as I reached the start I found myself in the typical mood for running. It as very hot and with nearly no wind, which made the run quite hard. The run itself consisted of a track which must be runned three times through downtown Braunschweig. It was an amazing atmosphere with a lot of spectators although the run started at 10:30 pm (of course, it's a night run). Nevertheless the run was tough because of the hot weather conditions and even I drank during the run (normally I need water when the run exceeds 15 k).

To finish, I was happy to stay below 50 minutes which is far away from my personal record but I don't care. I ran with some friends and it was just a test if I'm still able to run and if I'll find the love to run again. But the best was the beer in a small pub in the Magniviertel, which is the old part of Braunschweig. Ready for the next run, hopefully with some lower weight...
