Half marathon - check!

There are a few things I want to have done before I die and to compete in a marathon or half marathon is one of them. But I can now check that off my list since I ran Göteborgsvarvet yesterday!! Several weeks ago I laid out a plan on how I was going to train but due to a lot of work at the office, an injured foot and then a cold, that plan kind of went down the drain and since I was unprepared I almost backed out with a week to go but with some encouraging words from the people around me - uhum - Amelie, I lined up at the startline. But I'm so happy I did it!

It was one of the hottest days of the year in Sweden with 28 degrees in the shade! Even being a person who loves warm weather, this made it painful! I was scared I was going to pass out like the other 1407 did, dropping off one by one on the side of the road. A bit scary but I made sure to stop at every drink station. 200 000 people were watching the race and over 57000 ran the race. It is the biggest half marathon race in the world. Pretty amazing! And I was a part of it! Woohhoooo!!

Really proud of myself but today I can hardly move due to sharp sore pains in my legs and feet, but all worth it :).

Here's the evidence:
