I’ve now reached what we jokingly call the “two fat ladies” marathon. The phrase is a playful way of referring to the number 88 and comes from old bingo slang. Whether it’s funny or just silly probably depends on who’s reading it.
The Grønboløbet Christmas Marathon – complete with Santa hats became my fifth and final marathon of the year. I reached the same number last year, and hopefully I’ll do the same for the next two years as well. So far, the plan is being held, which means I should be running my 100th marathon on May 20th, 2028. If all goes well, it will also be my 25th “Great Wall Marathon.” Two anniversary races on the same day would be something truly special.
The Grønboløbet Christmas Marathon was held in beautiful December weather along forest paths, country roads, and past a charming village church.
