From beginners to the 10K in Rotterdam

In January 11 2011 I started running with 4 people in a beginnersclass with Marcel Treurniet as our trainer. The four of us wanted to run the 10K on April 10 2011. The first training was a Coopertest and a parcours to test our stamina and our skills. Right in the first training we got our first tips, like "keep your head up" and "walk small steps but in a quick paste". During the first month we had to train for our first 5K run on february 5th. During that run we didn't stop, that was the challenge....and we succeeded.
After running our first 5K we added the Running BootCamps to our trainingschedule and extended our runs with 0,5 or 1 K per week......Did we had musculepain? Ohh, yes we had...but we enjoyed it every bit.
Last thursday we had out last training for "The BIG day". The beginnersgroup was so proud of our accomplishments that we gave out trainer a nice t-shirt....he was our "drill intructor" for the last 13 weeks. But we dit it! and we our proud..... Here are some pics.
