Right on Track

The first time since last year that I pulled myself together and headed out to the track in my running club's town Lich. Last year I participated once in an official track race of 3.000 metres w/o having any track training before, wow, that didn't feel well. So, on June, 30th they have a 5.000 metre race nearby in Gießen and possibly I will register for it.
See here a snapshot of the track, actually it's nicely located on the outskirts near the forest but it's just a cinder track and in a pretty bad shape. Nobody takes care of it, all attention is on the soccer field (as it is in whole Germany)! Anyway, bad conditions make us just stronger when it comes to race day, haha...
