Stockholm Marathon 2013

Before

After

I did it!!! I ran the Stockholm marathon in 4 h 18 min! :) I'm very happy and i loved the challenge! The last 10 km were quire tough since the rain was pouring down and it was only 16 degrees was and it was a constant struggle of keeping running vs cramping in the legs and walking. I manages to keep a quite steady pace of 5.40 min/km - 6.0 min/km during the whole race. Perhaps due to the fact that I purposely listened to the same song durin the whole run to keep the pace, haha....

There was a crazy number or people running the marathon and unfortunately i couldn't see my family too much during the race, only when I passed 30 km and after I had finished. My family took great care of me after the run bringing candy, some drinks and helped me get home plus cooked an awesome dinner while I was recovering! So in all, I had a great weekend with Carlitos and the family running the marathon! :)

Now a couple of days later I'm quite recovered and would love a marathon challenge next year again. Now i have a personal record to crush, haha! just need to let my feet recover from all the blisters that I got because of the rainy weather at the marathon before I start training again... Anyone wanna join next year?
