Sunday morning, 6am, the alarm clock reminds me of the 25 kilometers (15 miles) that I have to run today in preparation for the marathon. Sounds very hard and exhausting, but fortunately, I will do it for fun! So I put on my running shoes, bring my radio and run! A marathon is a challenge, but the most important part is the period before the marathon. You have to make it very comfortable, which I do by running in the most beautiful neighborhood. My favorite route is in the Amsterdam Woods; located at 5 metres below sea level. The woods were developed in 1928, before it was a Dutch polder and now it is a unique forest close to the city. The running routes are clearly marked and follow a lake, playing areas for kids and hills. It is also a perfect place for walking and cycling. But before I start, first I drink a cafe latte in cafe de “Bosbaan”. Not only nice because of the coffee, the terrace has beautiful romantic views during hot summer evenings….
