| Yay! Great message to read: Your participation was successfully transferred and accepted. Have a nice day. |
A quick blog!
I don't want to end the day without recording for posterity that my dream of running the Hamburg Marathon before my 40th birthday is slowly coming true - with a bit of modification! :D
First, it's not (yet!) going to be single handedly running the full Hamburg Marathon but as a part of a Hamburg Marathon Relay Team (although this year, I am running my first full @ Berlin Marathon!).
This will be the first time in it's 27th edition, that Hamburg marathon is allowing in the event, team relay participation .
Second, it's after I turned 40, a milestoneI celebrated last 20th of March!
What I've learned recently - if you will allow my 40 year old self to be philosophical :) - modifying dreams have sweet side-effects.
Sharing this dream with Amsterdam Running Junkies, is part of my personal development .
I've learned to reach out and ask for assistance to reach a personal goal. If I would have done it alone i.e. run the Hamburg full marathon myself , I would've had to wait at least another year, if not 2 more years.
This way, I can still say Hamburg this April is my first marathon before I run Berlin in September. Both cities being very meaningful places in my personal history.

Even though running is a personal adventure, an odyssey to your-self, a discovered-self - shared dream, shared joy, shared running experience, heightens & strengthens your passion for life even more.
