Running for WFP

So when the big day finally arrived on Sunday 5th of April I took my position at the starting line alongside 31,372 other runners with only one objective, to get at the finishing line, at all costs! I did finish the Marathon in a time of 04:59:29, I think by then the winner of the marathon, a young Kenyan athlete who finished in a record time of 02:05:47, was already on his way to take his flight back home! 

 

I am glad that I managed to trudge on despite all the pain, and I thank all the TNT colleagues who sent me several emails of encouragement. I am certainly looking forward to the 2010 Paris Marathon edition and I hope to bring colleagues from different countries so that we can have an international TNT team. I am reliably informed that there are colleagues who take part every year in the Berlin Marathon…yes you have read my mind, keeping reading this space, Berlin is calling!
