In March, Brev’s team photographer and I made a bet that we would run the Baloise Antwerp 10 Mile race and the loser had to buy dinner. Spoiler alert: I won. 😉
On Sunday, April 23, we were two of the 31,000 runners that took part in the annual 37th ten miler.
The atmosphere was a lot of fun, there were SO MANY fans, music, and cheerleaders along the way. We also got to run through Antwerp’s scenic city center, on the highway, and through car tunnels.
Unfortunately, it rained the entire time and the slick cobblestones with train tracks were hard to run on. Not to mention that it felt like the entire race was uphill AND my headphones died with three miles left.
But regardless, I was proud of myself for doing it and it was even more fun that Brev had the day off and was able to come cheer us on.
