At the beginning of March we all ran the Urban Trail run in Antwerp, which you can read about here. It was such a fun, and quite easy, 10 km that we finished without problems. So after that we all decided, let's run the Antwerp 10 miles! And last Sunday it was finally there, 16 km through Antwerp, running on roads and thru tunnels where normally only cars are alowed. And the weather was on our side too! So it was another epic Sunday Funday.

The Antwerp 10 miles is a hard race though, with a lot of hills (as in A LOT A LOT) and a killer tunnel at the end. So no cool pictures from during the race this time. But we all managed to finish it at a good time. I, Joke, even finished in 1h35. This is11 minutes faster then 2 years ago and only 5 minutes longer then I wanted to run. So I'm pretty proud of myself and very keen to keep on running and beating my own time. The goal for next year is to run the 10 miles in 1h20.

Lore and Marijke also ran an awesome time and they looked better then me going over the finish line :p. I think they might have had enough of these 'races' though, but I've got a few more on the schedule, with the Abdijentocht on May 25th coming up first (a 16 km trail run, I'm excited!).

I'm off for a run now, because I need to practice some more. So enough talking and here are some more pictures from before and after. ENJOY!
