I signed up for the Paris Marathon on April 12, 2026.

Bad news: #ParisMarathon is off (for me).
The combination of an excrutiating workload the next half year and sickness in my immediate family means that I had to cancel my travel and withdraw my participation. No need to sugarcoat it: it sucks! I had really looked forward to it, but the ends just do not meet. I feel very sorry for myself today.
I did a run this stormy morning nonetheless. Ever onwards.
Distance: 5.32k
Pace: 5'20"#CPH42 in 94 days.
With the snow, the lights, the silence and calm of the world not yet awake, and Brahms' "Ein deutsches Requiem", this was a majestically beautiful morning run.
It was also hard, because I had to plow myself through 10-15cm of fresh snow for much of the run, and it was challenging and fun.
It was just what I needed.
Distance: 6.55k
Pace: 5'31"#CPH42 in 92 days.

To mix things up, I took the train to Friheden and ran home this morning.
This turned out to be a difficult one, as most of the pavements and bicycle lanes were covered by a soup of snow, slush, and salt, and underneath it was a layer of ice. I'm not a big fan of #running on slippery surfaces; NO ICE!
A run is a run, nonetheless, and this was good training.
This was also stage 50 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
Distance: 25.02k
Pace: 5'50"#CPH42 in 90 days.

Inspired by @robchapman, I started today's run a little later than usually to get to run in sunshine. It was a good call, as this turned out to be a wonderfully beautiful morning. (It was still horribly cold, though.)
Stage 51 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
Distance: 21.47k
Pace: 5'35"#CPH42 in 83 days.

Good morning!
I did a run, where I focused on keeping the effort just a little harder than I usually would. It was fun, and if I had not had to get back to get the family out of bed I would probably have gone on for five more km.
The mornings are getting brighter (though not yet warmer), and today I even heard a bird sing. Spring is coming, indeed. What a time to be alive.
Distance: 5.11k

This run was supposed to be a celebration.
Instead, it was a series of challenges. Snow, slush, soaked shoes, headwinds, heavy legs, cold, clouds.
I flipped the script. I had done this before. I had chosen to do it. I told myself to enjoy it. I did.
Overcoming a challenge is what makes a win. I struggled, and the run was a series of wins.
#52WEEKS52HALFMARATHONS COMPLETE!
This was my celebration of #running.
Distance: 23.74k

Yes. Fruen havde varm kakao klar (efter jeg lige havde slæbt et skab, som hun solgte på DBA, udenfor).
Alt er godt, men det her sne-sjap-sjask må gerne forsvinde meget hurtigt.
