The story about, I haven´t run a half-marathon, but became 3rd anyhow

At the 25.09, I wanted to run in Bensheim a half.marathon. Last year I compete here again, and ran a good race and time, and wanted to do it again or even better. The start was set at 10:00o´clock. In the week before the run, I haven´t trained very much, because I got some pain in my left foot, but anyhow, I wanted to ran a new best time, but soon I recovers that I wasn´t able to do like that. I ran something about 4:30 or 4:40min on a km, and this was at least 10 seconds to slow, and I did not find my own running style and soon my foot ached again. So, I thought about only to run one more round, in fact 10km, and get myself the ranking for this course. This was a big mistake of me, when you think about bad things and such possibilities it´s really hard for you to concentrate on you running and even it´s hard to motivate. I wasn´t able to decide myself, if I should run only the 10km or to finish the half-marathon. Well, I decided to get this to an end and to run only 10km, but I really angry about my time of 46:08min. I wsn´t really able to enjoy myself over the 6th place overall and the 3rd lace in my age-group and now, I´ll start the well-earned off-season, un-satisfied with a givin´up MTB-race and a run  like this. But…Things can only get better… Doro
