5 Christmas Tiergarten 5Ks plus 10K
After taking the family to the train station I took off to run five 5Ks around Tiergarten ,with a 1K warm up and a 9K warm down back home. My goal was to run five 5Ks each under 30 minutes, but legs broke at end of fourth 5K as the results show:
24:01 - 1st 5K
27:12 - 2nd 5K
28:14 - 3rd 5K
31:09 - 4th 5K
38:54 - 5th 5K
Had a wonderful line up of podcasts, first a good Scott Hanselman podcast about the HTML5 framework Kendu looks extensive and based on jQuery, then a good podcast by always enjoyable Javascript guru Douglas Crawford, an awesome podcast with eloquent Robert Stephens from Geek Squad fame and CTO at Best Buy about how everything moving to services, and a long 2-hour podcast on how the Apollo program worked technically, amazing how they used on their knowledge of mathematics and geometry and about 100 simple computer programs hard-wired into the hardware.
Again, legs feel worked out but don't hurt inordinately, nice feeling, 111 days to Paris Marathon.
