For my first quater marathon I had a great goal: I wanted to reach 10,5 k under 55 minutes.
During my whole training period I couldn't reach my established goal. So I wasn't sure if I could manage to run that fast during my race. However, it seemed very good. The first 5 kilometers passed very quickly. At the following kilometers I had an average pace of 05:30. "I can do this" I said to myself and continued to run fast.
The result was great: 54 minutes and 42 seconds
