This weeks training has been on a very low level. No real motivation or energy in my system. Stiff achilles tendons on top of that, hasn't really given me any enthusiasm for running. I also think that the last couple of weeks with bad sleeping due to that Jim & Nellie are keeping us awake on and off all nights, has effected me more than I want to admit. Good sleep is now a luxuary and I'm very impressed by Misia, who are waking up a couple of times each night to do the breast feeding business, without complaining.

I'm very pleased that I managed to get out for a 21 km run today. Felt rather OK, but I thought about the coming challenge next weekend with some doubts ... Göteborg Marathon 42 km. Only 6 days away and I'm not really prepared for it. But, but, but ... I've been even less prepared before some other marathons, so I will for sure be able to complete it. I have to calculate with some walking in the end. That's alright, I'm not going there to win. Right now, my overall target is to collect another 16 marathons, so I will break the 100 barrier and receive the next major trophy. One race at the time and it will hopefully happen in the end of 2010. If I can keep the pace up and time it in a nice way, I would like to do race no 100 at the classic course between Marathon and Athens. It's normally staged in November each year. Okidoki, the visualization process can begin, with me running in to Athens screaming "Chairete nikomen", but instead of dying myself, I will consider letting my Marathon running "career" die and do something else instead.
