It was with a open mind I walked to the start line of gran canarias maraton. I really didn´t know how my body would react to run 42 km after 3 months of no running. I was thinking that I should just test and see what happened, and I realized that I must think that I actually could pull out. Because if I would feel something that wasn´t right, some part of the body that disapproved or just the fact that I have had fever and a cold two weeks before this race I needed to see that as a possibility.
I was a bit afraid. Because I don´t want to push my body to much. And because this was a new experience I wanted to do it slow and thoughtfully. And I am soo happy I could do that. To be honest am I proud of myself! I didn´t think about positions and I didn´t have a time I wanted to reach. I just wanted to explore a new part of me and my training.
