Language confusion

October 13, 2009

Only my second day in Finland but I’m already wondering in which language I should think and dream. I’m still a bit in the German mode as I mostly spoke German for the last 2 months. However, I think that this night I might dream in English because most of the time you speak and think in English on such an international Campus. Also the Finnish is getting freshed up and some of my local friends will have to suffer when I’m going to talk in Finnish with them I thought it would be much more difficult to refresh the Finnish but reading the newspapers and hearing the language in normal life made it pretty easy.

In terms of training I’m starting the first weeks of more serious training again after the marathon. Last week I did around 100km and this week I should run around 140km plus some cross-training. I feel prepared for the new training season and the motivation is high!
