Radolfzell Firmenlauf 5K


So about a week before I left Radolfzell I had to do this run in Radolfzell called a Firmenlauf (corporate challenge) with Carl-Duisberg Centren. I didn't know it was a 5K until the day before and was a bit weary about doing it. I am not the most physical person on the earth. All the CBYX were asked to please do the race. It consisted of 3 laps and CDC only asked us to complete one but we could complete the entire 3 laps if we wanted. I decided to challenge myself and complete all 3 laps. I mean, I am in Germany!!!!!! When am I gonna get the chance to run a 5k in Germany again? When in Rome...or in this case Germany. So I ran the entire first lap and walked about half of the other two. My time was 33 minutes and 14 seconds. Not bad for someone who never runs.
Yes. Yes I run with sunglasses...cataracts are nothing to laugh about.
My shirt was a wonderful going away present from some very
wonderful friends of mine back home. Love you guys!

Stretching is very important.
