The Dutch saying where you do something ‘For bacon and beans’ means that you do something as a test. Playing a game without a real bet, trying a new route even if you don’t need to. Just making sure you know how to do something, and really doing it even though you don’t need the result (yet).

Well, yesterday I ran the singelloop and I managed to get a good result finishing before my running friends. The only detail is that I did not get any medal because we arrived to late to sign up and the numbers were already sold out. Not really a problem, but I am a bit sad about missing out on the medal.

The run itself was quite special. It is not like other running matches. Of the 6 km distance the first 5 kilometers I was just jugging because there were a huge amount of (slow) people on the route… this is really typical of the singelloop, but also makes it a special and fun event!

Only a few more hours and than the Leidsche singelloop will start. Running a nice 6 kilometers through Leiden and afterwards searching a nice terrace to relax a little.
