Connect with me on Facebook !


Who has never heart of Facebook? During the past few years, Facebook has become one of the most if not THE most active social network on the web. More than 60 millions users have created an account. And I’m part of it. I joined a few month ago to keep in touch with old friends.

Recently, I had to face this basic fact : Thousands of runners coming from all over the world are visiting 42k195.com every week and as a matter of fact, I know very few of you.

The statistics clearly show me that you appreciate the site, but I would like to know a little more. What do you like most? What needs to be fixed? How would you like the site to evolve?

As there is today no way on the web site (apart from the e-mail) for me to interact with you . I’ve decided to give Facebook a try and start the conversation with you all.

Are you a Facebook user ? You can connect with me on the 42k195.com page
If you are not, you can still visit the page.

And if you are a Facebook expert, I’m eager to learn from you any tip or advice on how to improve the page. I’m a newbie in Facebook.

Let the experiment begin !

Once again in Berlin !

Last week-end, Haile Gebrselassie did it again. Last year, when he ran the Berlin Marathon, he broke the world record. Twelve months letter, he managed to win Berlin another time (for the third time in a row) and became the first man in history to break the 2:04 limit.

2:03:59

Records aren’t normally my cup of tea. But Gebrselassie is such a great human being that I wanted to celebrate this race with him.

See you in Berlin next year !
