Two months ago I moved from Switzerland to New Zealand (Christchurch). Not a smart move cos I moved from winter in Switzerland to winter in New Zealand, yeah well... And of course in winter there are no skating races so I decided (and that was a smart move) to run more often.
I used to run about twice a week as part of my speed inline skate training, but never really competed in runs (except for a 5km and a 6km race where I nearly died cos it was so hard). As soon as I got to Christchurch however, I saw all those ads for the Christchurch Marathon in 4 weeks time (no worries, I wasn't going to run a full marathon). Buuuut I decided to compete in the 10km race (another smart move). So I started running about four days a week while riding my bike, doing off-skate and exercises.
All the last minute training was worth it, I ran the 10km in 47:53 and of course I was proud of myself, after all it was my first. Right after the race I decided to do another one, that one is in a month time and I am already looking forward to it.
However, I started skating again, so I don't do that much running at the moment.
