Geneva Marathon 2007.
The Winner! Amazingly, this guy ran the marathon in 2 hours, 18 minutes. That's 26 miles in 138 minutes. He ran an average pace of 11.3 miles per hour (almost near a sprint), or for you Europeans, 18.2 Kilometers per hour. Wow.
As for me, this weekend was slightly bitter-sweet. I was happy to be there watching the runners, relaxing with my friends, taking photos. But I was registered to run in this race (the half-marathon). Unfortunately, I hurt my lower back about two weeks ago and although it is healing, it's taking some time. I guess there's always next year. At the end of summer, there's a pretty big marathon in nearby Lausanne. So, I'm thinking I'll skip the half-marathon, and train all summer for the full marathon. We'll see what happens... My back is almost better now, so I'll be able to finally get back to running!
