Success!!
Finish Certificate – 00:01:24 under my goal!
This past weekend I ran in the Amsterdam half marathon and beat my goal of 2 hours! For someone who never really considered themselves athletic in any way shape or form, I’m really proud of this and I’m already looking forward to my next race with the Flying Pulis. Although, for the time being I’m going to switch to weight lifting as my primary exercise. After this weekend I can barely walk, and the gym is….well, warm. Sweden is already getting really cold and really dark, sunrise tomorrow is at 7:54 am and sunset is at 17:48, and everyday we’re losing 4 minutes of daylight.
After celebrating (and sleeping) Sunday and Monday in Holland I’m back in Lund with one field trip (to the Absolute factory) already down and one more (to Copenhagen) left to go, along with an exam on Friday. So, I’m already back at it and super busy. Unfortunately, I won’t be posting pictures from the Absolute factory tour, no photographs were allowed, but I’ve got plenty of pictures from Amsterdam right here, and I’ll be posting the pictures recovered from my camera three times a week until they are all up (there are A LOT of Rome pictures).
