Last days in Finland 2009

November 3, 2009

On Friday I’ll go back to Germany and won’t return to Finland until something like January/February. Sometimes I’m wondering if this is the right decision, and today was such a day where I thought that this place is just perfect for me. So many kind, enthusiastic (and also athletic) people around campus. Great conditions for studying, running, living in general. Well, we’ll see which twists and turns my life is going to make in the next couple of months.

The afternoon training run today was again with Miika. We had a great time on the cross-country course, changing pace, making jumps and striding through the light beams. So great to push each other. Now my legs are pretty tired after this 1:20h run but still I have to do some reading for my last book exam. My last book will be “Sports Nutrition. An Introduction to Energy Production and Performance” by Jeukendrup&Gleesen. Once again a good read – I’m actually thinking about buying it myself. It’s just that I can apply the knowledge of the book in real life athletic performance to push myself to the limits.
