A new year started and the first month is already past.
The expectations for this year were - and still are - optimistic as every year. After having a nice Christmas holiday with my family and friends home in Germany I came back to Finland on 10th of January. I can’t believe that this is already more than 3 weeks ago. The time is really passing by way too fast.
The lectures started and one can already imagine that this semester is also going to get really busy and a lot of work is to be done. I had the first discussions about a possible topic for my Master thesis.
My running shape is still lacking although an injection into my heel short before New Year’s Eve gave temporary improvement of my heel pain (caused by an inflamed heel spur). However I need to do something for my speed since I left out all the fast exercises for around one month (apart from a 20,6km competition in 1:19:08h on a hilly course) and do not feel comfortable when running somewhat faster than 5min/km-pace.
