A race... at last

My last running race was from May. It was when I performed miserably at the XC nationals. The joy of this disappointing reality check was amplified by an injury that killed my stride for the whole summer.

But now this non-racing streak is abolished.

Today I hesitated quite many times that should I even start the race, but since sweetie was heading to the starting line, I had to do it, as well. And now I'm pretty happy with the decision. Even if my time was 1.16 slower than last year, I'm still happy with the outcome. Friday's butt killer hurts still, but despite the muscle pain and stiffness I was able to perform at satisfying level.

And then Matti ran 2.28 in Amsterdam today. AWESOME!

Today was a good day.
