In January and February every year, the Krekenlopers St Laureins organise several races. At this, their 23rd meeting, there were runs at 6k, 12k and half marathon distances. I had intended to enter the latter but delays en route meant I had to make a choice between rushing through registration and preparation for the half marathon or taking my time to get on the 12k. I opted for the 12k course, telling myself I could always do a jog tonight to make up the additional distance for my training plan. Yeah, right.
Turns out this was a good plan as the 12k was a lot of fun. The course was flat, fast and the marshalling was great. The conditions were ideal, cold and dry, and I made great time. In fact, I did this 12k in almost exactly the same time as the 10km d'Uccle last year. Very satisfying.
Much to my own surprise, I actually did go for another jog of about 8k when I got back this evening.
