It ́s been a while since I wrote the last time. A lot has happened since then. My training has been going well until I broke my foot at a party and that ruined all my marathon dreams (at least for this year). I broke my ankle in three different places and let me tell you, that hurt. After the injury, I started to make new plans and set new goals. Right now i’m not able to do much because my ankle is not strong enough so I can’t run or jump or even walk down the stairs properly. I know the recovery is a slow process but im so ready to get back to training.
I also started to work as a “nurse” at an elderlycare home. I’m working here until the middle of August. I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Its challenging and even if it’s sometimes really stressful, it keeps my blood sugar levels in check. My working hours are usually 8 hours but I sometimes work 14h shifts so that i can take some time off.
I went on a mini holiday to Kalamata, Greece. I ́ve spent most of my summers there as a child so it feels like a second home for me. It was super relaxing and nice. But as the saying goes “time flies when you are having fun”. Now i’m back in Finland at work.
My new plan is to participate in an IRONMAN 70.3 in Otepää, Estonia (you can click on the link to see all the ironman races around the world and find one near you). An ironman70.3 consists of 1.9km swim, 90km bike ride and a half marathon. also i will hopefully work on my fitness after that so I can run a full marathon in August 2020. So the training has begun but only time will tell how it goes. Right now im mostly training on a bike and sometimes swimming in a pool because of my ankle.
