Training – Jun/20 – No progress and holiday mode

A bit of relaxing at a waterpark The only good part about June was that I was on holiday. We had fun with the kids camping by lakeside. Weather was perfect until we got a quick thunderstorm but the tent stayed dry inside so nothing to worry! It was almost midsummer so there was daylight [...]

Training – W20-22 Slowly does it

I've been thinking how to finally get back to training so I would not overdo it again. Decided to try cycling a bit first and then walking and add slowly a bit of running with max two times a week and max 3 kilometers at a time. I clearly have lately had the need to [...]

Training – W13/2020 Running too much?

Week started with a nice 12,2 kilometers run/walk/stair climbing combo on a sunny afternoon. After running 36 kilometers the previous week and now this on top my legs called it quits. I normally run max 25 kilometers a week so I had run almost twice that much in one week so no wonder my legs [...]

Training – W11/2020 Easy week and virus getting closer

Getting back to "normal" training reminded me of how stiff my muscles are and realized something must be done so decided that I will start taking Yoga classes at my gym to get a bit more flexibility and stretching to my body. I have been training so hard in the past year that I have [...]

Such a perfect weekend with outdoor activities and sports. Sun is shining and spring is around the corner โ˜€๏ธ
Such a beautiful sunset today in Helsinki ๐Ÿงก
Remember that sometimes you need a break ๐Ÿ‘
These few words on my little home office wall will continue to be my guideline when heading to three week "lockdown" ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ˜…
Funny how always the most strenuous training feels the best? As if we are programmed to feel good after "surviving" ๐Ÿ˜…
Inspired by @lolaodusogaofficial turning pages from the history book ๐Ÿ“š I think year is 1997 so I would have been 24 years old. It seems like forever ago especially when you put another 24 years into it to get to this year ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
A year ago today I was at #Kilimanjaro 4700 m waiting for the others to come down from #UhuruPeak ๐Ÿ—ป
Happy Valentine's day to everyone ๐Ÿงก Especially to @jyrkikaarila my best friend ๐Ÿค—
