It's getting better every day


Aggressive treatment with tea, honey, orange juice and whiskey (bleh) meant an improvement of the throat situation. Today I feel better. Not well yet, but at least I don't feel like my head's on fire. I spent yesterday on jogg.se, reading about the amazing feats performed by runners around the country that braved the Swedish winter and ran this edition of the Ultra Intervals. Otherwise, I was mostly lying on my back resting and reading my book.

My friends from the group, on the other hand, were performing an amazing feat of their own. Having to face freezing headwinds and getting lost, they still managed to cover 30-odd kilometres and get to Lerum, where they finally decided to throw in the towel and enjoy a hot cup of coffee while they waited for the train to come and take them home.

My illness did the trick. I can't wait to go running. My motivation is definitely back, freezing headwinds notwithstanding.

  1. Åh stackare! Missade du löpningen!
    Jag är sugen på att springa igen, men är så fruktansvärt trött... Ska vila lite och gå på det i morgon igen. Ny vecka och broddar. Snart kommer våren.

    Och jag blir så otroligt glad om jag kan inspirera med mina amatörsinlägg om löpning haha. Träning är en sak, löpning en annan. Men jag är på G!
