First ever half marathon trial

Quotes from Johnnie Walker commercial:

“When the sun came shining and I was strolling and the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling. As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting, this land was made for you and me.”

“As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless sky way. I saw below me that golden valley, Esta tierra fue hecha para ti y para mí.”

“I’ve roamed and rambled and I’ve followed my footsteps to the sparkling sands over diamond deserts, and all around me a voice was sounding, this land was made for you and me.”

Keep running!
