Belated Birthday Run

Since I-don't-remember-when, I have celebrated my birthday with a 10 km, sub 5 min/km run (and not with a multi-layered cake). This year, I probably spent the most problematic birthday of my life, suffering from a relentless fit of reflux, which nagged me for 2 month with no pause. After consulting a specialist and starting a strict diet, I am (more or less) fit again. Of course, at the end of March it was unthinkable to make the run, and later in May I was busy with a training course at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Finally, on June the 1st, I summoned all my strengths and completed the (belated) birthday run in 49'10" (average: 4'55" per km). At the end of the performance I was particularly tired and this is a sign that I haven't fully achieved my best shape, but there is ample time to work on that this summer.
