Since I didn't feel ready to run outdoors yet, I bought an electric treadmill — a compact one, as it had to fit inside a 39 m² apartment. And so it began. My first run was modest — just 10 minutes. But I ran on that treadmill 6 days a week, and after two weeks I completed my first 5K. The very next day, in the middle of winter, I stepped outside for my first outdoor run — and got a real shock. I barely managed 3 kilometres. I went back to the treadmill and progressed quickly — first 10K, then I set myself the challenge of a two-hour run. And just like that, spring arrived. I laced up my New Balance 411v3 running shoes and headed outside. It was a warm spring day in 2025. After two kilometres I braced for another shock — but it never came. I had plenty of energy. I ran 10 kilometres in 1:05:45. My goal for 2025: a half marathon. I ran it. Twice. 29.08.2025 — 22.02 km — 2:37:02 07.09.2025 — 23.03 km — 2:40:54
