On the 10th of October I reached a milestone with my running endeavour and completed my first real race; the 10km Hässelbyloppet.
My goal was to get in under 50min, so I’m very pleased with a 43:34. But, with better preparation (no drinks the night before…), more experience (way too much energy left for the last 500 meter) and… not a slightly strained and swollen ankle; I think I could have cut off another minute or two.
My next milestone is to complete a half marathon. Based on this results, I should be aiming towards a low 1:40. But, i’m not making any promises just yet. First an intense pre-season training will take place.
By the year 2019, my aim is change my name to Nicolaile Nuzzalassie.
