so i did it!!! i ran my first quarter marathon race in 59 minutes and 20 seconds. i can't say i enjoyed it. man, it was tough. we had head wind for most part of the race and i really screwed up clothe wise. as it was kind of windy i thought i would be cold. but just before lining up at start the sun came out and that made a big difference. i was way too warm. my inner voice kept saying "stop, why are you doing this?, "it's too far", "my legs hurt", "it's already too late to speed up", "people are passing you, you're too slow". i really need to work on that before the half marathon, otherwise it will be some painful 21k (13 miles). on the better note i did make it under one hour. barely, but i did it. and the feeling afterwords was well worth my struggle. i mean it's not everyday you get a medal. i ended up taking the bus home, because the trains don't run as often on sundays. the train takes about 50 min and the bus about 1h and 20 minutes. i did however enjoy the busride, with rihanna's the last song on repeat i fell alseep. after i got home i cooked dinner (fish & mashed potatoes) and talked to my parents. as i was talking to dad i could hear tilde in the background. she's walking and she started daycare a few weeks ago. i really wish i could be a bigger part of her life. so it was a long day, but it was good. i'm still fascinated by the fact that the snow is melting. it really feels like forever since i saw bare ground.

i'm working on my paper due tomorrow morning. just took a break though, met up with mathias at hemköp real quick to get some study-fuel. in my case that meant fresh strawberries, fuyu fruit & light vanilla ice-cream. yum yum, and guess what? it filled its purpose cause i am almost done my paper. i will sleep like a baby tonight. not looking forward to waking up with legs that hurt though. i hope they won't.

nighty night
sleep tight and don't forget to turn off the light.
