"With a little help from my friends..."

I could realize my plan and run longish for the past three days: 26k hilly / 24k hilly on Saturday / Sunday and 35k flat today. On Saturday and Sunday I joined the running groups in Wellenburg. We had good runs and a lot of fun. I announced the Monday long run to our club email list and lucky me, Maria showed up this morning. She will race in the HIM World Championships in Las Vegas later this year. So, I trained with a semi professional Triathlete! How cool is this? Pretty cool, I would say. Time went by very quickly and we averaged 4:50min/km on the first 24k. Have to say that I was already well done after the three laps. The rain stopped and I did the last 11k on my own, a little slower than before have to admit :-)
Ran a total of 85km in three days and it seems everything is going well so far.
