Yesterday's run was longer than planned. I had not been running for over a week, to make sure my leg would be recovered. I also bought new shoes (Muzino Wave Inspire 4, I think (the box does not give any information)) at the Running Center in Brugge. After about 37 minutes, I felt like I could keep going for a while, so I took a right turn instead of a left (after about 7.5 km) and ran towards the dike. I had to keep convincing myself to not turn back home immediately at each crossroads, but I managed to hang in there.

Since four weeks, I've been running on a regular basis, i.e., about two-three times a week. I started out by doing 25-30 minutes runs, from my house to the dike, along the beach and then back home. After four of those, Veerle took me along for a longer run, with my father-in-law riding along, giving us directions on where to run. After 30 minutes, I thought I was finished, but then I found my pace, which was slightly faster than Veerle's pace. In the end, I ran 55 minutes on a 8.8 km route. It appears that once I manage to get past the 30-35 minutes boundary, I'm all set to go :-)
