When I was 38…

E: … we went with our son alone in Sweden. Nicola was on a language-trip in England and Nana on a group-tour for young people.

N: … I took up with running a marathon although I didn’t enjoy running much. But I wanted to find out wether it would work out with a relatively disciplined training and it did. The marathon was named Hans-a-plast-Marathon and just after 12 km I got a blister and they didn’t have proper blister-plaster in the first-aid-tents. I became quite angry with that. In Ohlsdorf behind 30 km I knew that I would stumble in any case through the finish as the thought that by failure I had to do all the training again really pushed me. Plus the really great audience.
