Bubulle's weblog

...you want to run many. Everybody told me so. Which is why I was warned when I ran my first one year ago in Paris, I knew I would run other.

So, on Sunday will be my fourth one and my second Paris Marathon

.

So, after 4h10mins in Paris (april 2009), 4h12 in Rambouillet Forest (all alone in full autonomy mode) and 4h00'49" in Cologne, my target this time is 3h50.

Weather is announced to be perfect, my physical condition is AFAIK good, the motivation is very high....my only fear is that I registred in the "4h target" group (because, back in November, I wasn't expecting the results I got in February/March in half-marathons). As many people overestimate their target, I expect to be passing hundreds of runners during the first 5 kilometers, which is not the best way to start....but, hey, Paris streets are wide enough (except Place de la Bastille, my nightmare....I hope organizers solved the jam problem there).

Of course, I kinda hope seeing fellow Paris DD's waving giant Debian swirls, including our wanabee-DPL.....but let's stop dreaming. And running in a sunny day all across Paris and along river Seine, will be great again even without Zack. I'll also be missing Ralf and Noèl who ran it last year: Ralf is unfortunately suffering from knee problems and Noèl is preparing for Mainz marathon (target: 3h??).

Anyway, more news on Sunday afternoon....and let's enjoy a full rest tomorrow!
