Starting to write this post on a very lazy Monday morning, still with a feeling of unbelieve. This weekend was the highlight of the year. My half marathon at the North Pole, Svalberd to be precise. I was filled with selfdoubt weeks prior to the race. My preparation was far from ideal. I got ill … Continue reading Arctic half Marathon
Post-flu things
Latest plan after my tiny knee mishap was to get half marathon training ready in two weeks. Sounded very reasonable at the time. Then life happened and I got the flu! Just as the rest of the population worldwide. So week one just passed by... And again I need to change my schedule and see … Continue reading Post-flu things
The knee thing
As you all know my knee got hurt at my first race januari the 15th. Irritated IT band and pain and all that stuff. Really annoying and frustrating. In the past three weeks I did five testruns. And I think I'm good to go! Steady and easy of course. Did an almost 5k run Sunday. … Continue reading The knee thing
Keep swimming, keep swimming
That's what Dory says. And that's what I literally did ! And I didn't drown! No really, I know how to swim, but I'm not good at it and I don't like it. More than a week ago I had my first lesson of my freestyle course. I was so nervous. Doing new things on … Continue reading Keep swimming, keep swimming
Bit of a knee down
Last Sunday was my first race of 2018. Wasn't super well-prepared, nor really bad prepared. But it's January, it can be chilly, wich can be difficult for my asthma lungs. On Thursday before the race felt pain in my right knee, during my last run. So I was not sure what to expect on Sunday. … Continue reading Bit of a knee down
Bucket list item
I don't like water, except my own hottub baths I regularly take, I don't like swimming, I'm really bad at it, I really really really suck at it. I don't even know how to do a proper freestyle stroke. My asthma makes it even more challenging. And her I am, with all my swimming accessories. … Continue reading Bucket list item
Polar Express
So I have been thinking. 2017 has been a very difficult year for me on many levels. Not just my mother passing away, but also a small burnout and some mental health issues that arose to the surface. I'm not there yet, but I'm getting better and stronger each day. I know it will be … Continue reading Polar Express
Sad sad sad
While I was my writing blog posts about my amazing awesome plans for 2018, having that on top of the world feeling, suddenly the unthinkable happened and left my family and me heartbroken. My mother died. It happened exactly three weeks ago. Sometimes I still can't believe it really happened and sometimes it scares the … Continue reading Sad sad sad
A new path
My blog died a little bit. A little bit? It died completely! I still like to write, even better, I really love it! But why did I stop writing? Too busy? Did life happen? If it meant that much to me, I would have made time to write. This blog lost its purpose to me. … Continue reading A new path
I’ll be back
Last year has been a big challenge mentally and physically and it still is, but I always see a silver lining. Well not everyday, but most of the days. I'm working hard to get back and back in a better place. That means sometimes two steps forward, one step back. And sometimes it one step … Continue reading I’ll be back
