I Did It! <\/span><\/h1>\n

In the air. May 14, 2017<\/span>
\n Today\u2018s text is about achieved and not achieved targets, it\u2018s about Riga, an international conference of female filmmakers in London and NEROPA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pursue your Goals – We’re Running Up That Hill
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Three years ago next month I started running, and if you\u2018ve been following my blog for a while you might have read the occasional text on this topic (Write a Blog and Ride a Porsche<\/a>, Running – Twelve Weeks Later….<\/a>,\u00a0 Blimey, this is so German…<\/a>). Today you will get an update. I\u2018ve continued running, I\u2018ve continued participating in running events, mostly over my favourite long distance, the 5.000 metres, but occasionally also over 10 k. Last September I heard of the marathon weekend in Riga<\/a>, a runners\u2018 meeting with not only the marathon distance but also half marathon, 10 and 6 k plus a race for kids. Riga, former cultural capital of Europe is a beautiful town, I was there last year for a commercial shoot and was very happy about spending a couple of days there. I had also thrown a coin into the Daugava, which is the local river, and that will ensure that you are coming back one day. ^So I registered for a run in Riga in December, and indredibly enough I chose the half marathon (!) – with the option of downgrading to 10 k until a month before the race if my preparations don\u2018t go as planned. However, a bit carelessly I mentioned my registration in a half-public interview in January that was filmed, so now quite a few people knew of my plans, so obviously it was sort of mandatory to actually have a go at the distance. Because it would be a bit weird to react to questions like .\u201cHow did your half marathon go<\/em>?\u201c by saying \u201cAlright, I even managed to finish it in 10.000 m<\/em>.\u201c. <\/span><\/p>\n

So I started on a 9 week preparatory training programme (a bit late though, with only six weeks remaining), and I set myself the following goals, in this order:<\/span><\/p>\n
