Running a half-marathon Few weeks ago I realised that I hadn’t done so much sport lately. I try to keep myself fit but fitness is so hard to keep up with and so easy to lose. I play badminton once a week but I hadn’t been running for a while. I really don’t like running during winter. But spring had come, so I gave myself a challenge : by the end of the year running a half-marathon for the very first time. So I’ve taken up again running. I’m used to running but most of the time I run about 10 km. I need to get used to running a further distance. But step by step, first I’ll run a 10 km race. I signed up to a race in my town, it will be in 3 weeks. My goal is to finish the race under the time of fifty minutes, it’s my personnal record and I want to improve it even if it’s only for a couple of seconds. Now I’m in a good shape, and I still have a few days to train myself, I need to run at least twice a week to improve my stamina and my speed. I’ll see if I reach my first goal.
