Today I ran my first marathon of the year, which was also my first as a retiree and number 89 of my career.
The Korsbæk Marathon was a cannonball race in northern Copenhagen. The route took us through roads, forest trails, and Denmark’s oldest and very famous amusement park. After a stretch through the woods with plenty of roe deer, we passed through a cozy little town and returned to the starting point. The route was repeated six times.
It was a cool day with light rain for most of the time. However, this did not take away from the fact that the race was truly enjoyable and beautiful.
My next challenge is in seven weeks, when it’s time for the 23rd edition of “The Great Wall Marathon.”
