I ran 2235,0 km in 2024. I’m pretty proud about that.

I mostly run alone and take the time to reflect and structure my thoughts. I also find it the ideal moment to listen to podcasts. Early in the year, my friend David convinced me to run with a small group, and I learned to appreciate having a conversation while running.

2024 also had me running my first race: the Antwerp Half Marathon on October 20th. It was an experience. Running a race with 14000 other people is more like running on a music festival. More attention goes to avoiding other people and maintaining your own pace. I believe I did a good job.

Right now, I’m still recovering from a painful foot and leg. It’s getting better but these has been a few difficult weeks at the end of the year. I’m wearing arch supports now during the day, but not yet while running to avoid blisters.

Let’s see if I can go over 2500 km in 2025. And who knows, maybe I even get to run a full Marathon?
