Feeling hot, hot, hot...

Yes, I did agree to go for a run with my brother. I did...
However, it´s a vast diffrence in running at home (where the weather now, actually  offers you some air) and running in extreme heat, with the sun in zenit. Do you know what that means? NO shadow!!

Imagining cold drinks and a nice shower...

Anyways, it´s still cool to test your ability to perform under different conditions...

Happy it´s over!

So, this actually was my longest run up to date. I still havn´t decided about the race... My head says yes! But I fear my body has some issues *lol*
We´ll see, I don´t have a lot of time to decide about it..

Signing out to care for my lil´ booger who has a cold

Core it!

I´ve been really bad at updating my training blog :(

Anyway, I did P90X Synergistics today, which is just a super workout! It has EVERYTHING!
In 4 days I´m leaving to go to Canary Island and workout with my brother!
Can´t wait!!

Twice...

I managed to workout twice today!
First a 6K run (it was supposed to be a 10L, but I just coldn´t finish)
Then I did a P90X session of legs and back. It felt awesome, and my body feels like it´s back in business again! Finger´s crossed everyone.

Off to danceclass with kiddo. See ya!

Getting expert advice...

Me and kiddo did P90X Shoulders & Triceps yesterday. Well, I did, and kiddo sat on the couch and drank water, pppft!!

Anyways, still havn´t decided about the Transgrancanaria thing, but I´m tempted. Even though I know how insanely tough it will be.
So, I decided to get some expert advice, in the form of my friend Magnus Hagström.
Hopefully he´ll get some action into my runnng schedule, and just maybe he´ll make me like running??? (mission impossible?)

Well, have to drop off kiddo at school, then it´s a 10K attempt!

Later, dudes!

Raceday...

So... Raceday and I´m not in any way, shape or form ready for it!

I´m running a fever, my throat is sore and one of my toenails has fallen off, due to a previous shoe incident...

Anyway, as promised, I meet up with the other girls of which I only know one, Susanne.

No need to worry, they´re all great ladies and we have alot of fun pre-race.

I´m starting as # 4 in the race of a total of 5.

When it´s my time to go to the swap area I´m anxious, and have a splitting headache.
I see Ewa coming up and yell to her, waving my arms in the air. I get the relay baton and start to run....

First 200 meters are killing me! I´m sure my pulse will race through the roof and kill me there and then!!
Nobody would realize I´m dead until at least 25 minutes, and that´s just no good.

So, trying to keep up the tempo I try to focus on just finishing the race. I didn´t bring my iPod, because I thought I was going to have to concentrate too much to listen to music. This was a big mistake!!!! Next race (yes, people, I will do this again...) I´m bringing music, dammit.

Still, I finished the race and was semi dead when passing on the baton to Susanne, our last runner.

After the race we had picnic, then dinner, and party. All in all, a great day and a fantastic evening. I´m happy to have met a bunch of new cool gal´s!!

Out of office and heading for bed, Ciao!

Oh, well

I´m sick... SICK!
Sore throat and fever! This is not good for my race this saturday. It´s my first competetive race, and 4 other people rely on ME...
I simply have to take it as easy as I can and skip todays workout. Finger´s crossed I don´t get worse...

Over and out!

Up and at it...

Well... The day looked promising, it RAINED when me and kiddo went to her first schoolday!
After dropping her off, I changed to go for a run, just to notice the rain had stopped and the humidity was killing me!!
Still, finished with an average pace of 5:10/km, so not too bad.
My fear now is that it will be really warm on the race day. It´s only 1½ week away, and I´m in no way in the shape I should be, but I can´t bail out now...
On the good side, I did a new Vo2 max test and got the result 49=Elite! So THAT feels awesome anyway...
See ya!
(still havn´t decided to do the TransGranCanaria thing yet...)
