Am I ready?

So, tomorrow I travel to Oslo to run another half marathon... in fact, THE half marathon... I am ready (I think), and hope to beat my time from last year; 1:49:21. I'm also a bit scared... what if I do not make it? Humm...

Well, I've been training for this, and here is how my last week and half has been:

Startet of on Monday (last week) with a 21km run around two lakes; Stokkavannet and Hålandsvannet. They are both on gravel and quite hilly. I love running this run, and tires to do it every now and then. Today I ran at a fast'ish pace and managed to finish at 1:35, which I am very happy with. The run was not stressful, I managed to keep it steady, had a stady pulse and finished without being exhaused - loved it!

Tuseday I had another own bodyweight training with Troy. It's amazing how small movements can make me so tired! Muscles I didn't know I had burns and I am almost not even moving. Hopefully it's what I need to get stronger :)

Wed, Thu and Fri I didn't train at all. Pretty sore muscles... and had some long nights at work, plus was suddenly invited to Kaizers Orchestra - can't say no to that ;)

I spent the weekend with my family on a cabin in Røldal. I wanted to go there to hike in the moutains to boost my "walking up hill" muscles. It was super even with heavy rain and low hanging clouds. Walked a few hours both Saturday and Sunday and felt refeshed and strong afterwards. It's just so lovely walking alone in the mountains, feeling your body work and enjoy the nature. We truly live in a fantastic country :) I also got to test my new ultralight shell clothing and are extremely happy with them. Not a single cm was wet afterwards :)

This week I've been training with Troy, plus had my second part of the brattkortkurs. I decided not to run, and save my strenght for Saturday. Hopefully I'll find it was the right descition...
