Challenges

 

Sometimes the road can be challenging... but we need our tiny challenges in order to learn, perform better and feel better!

 

This week I managed to to something I wanted to do in months - to commute to and from work each and every day! I took this opportunity now and I did that despite the challenging weather with ice-cold days, the dark, the rain, wind, etc.... I woke up every day @ 5 a.m. and it went just fine. I was never tired and I appreciate the fact that I could avoid the stress of the traffic chaos around Gothenburg! I run back home in approx. 45 minutes! It takes me almost 35 while driving! Yes, I might lose 10 minutes there but I gain so much more at the end: I feel great, I recharge my brain (a kind of a reset after a hard day in the office), I get my mileage without affecting my family, I don't pollute the air.... my actions motivate others! 😄👍

 

After 5 days I got inspired by @ethannewberry and his #100MileWeek! I managed to run 90-ish km from Monday to Friday. I needed 70k in two days! 😱

 

I did 44k this Saturday with other fellow runners running a section of the Sandsjöbacka Trail course. It was rainy, muddy, slippery and wet but I enjoyed it a lot. The day after I needed those 25k to complete this challenge. I felt a little bit tired but... after just 500mt my legs started rolling just fine! I was amazed as well! It felt just perfect! I ran those 25k easily... cruising those wet trails in Änggårdsbegen in rain and wind... it felt good, really good!

 

After that, I was back home doing things as usual.... and I felt like Xmas! 😄😁👍 Just do it... it doesn't matter if it's raining - luckily you're not made from sugar! 😂😄😉

 

Have fun out there!
