Welcome to my blog! Here I will write stories about life!
Let me start with telling you about my weekend. It started on Friday with a preparation run to a 10k race on Saturday evening. The run was 40 minutes with two three minutes long accelerations to my race pace.
The race day started with a dance class that my friend organized to our friend group from university. The dance style was commercial and it was so much fun!
The dance class was organized in Sörnäinen, Helsinki.
The 10k race was Helsinki10 in Helsinki, Finland. The race was in the evening at 20:30. I was so early in registration for the race that I got a free T-shirt and a scarf (not in pictures). My goal was to do better than last year (52:40) but this time my finish time was 53:27. The run started well but this weekend wasn’t mine. However, some guy thanked me after the finish for my pace as he was so happy with a good finishing time. He told me that he followed me and made sure that he saw my pink shirt (very light jacket as it was very windy). It made me happy that I helped someone else to run well!

I encourage everyone to run! Stay tuned for my next running posts, they will come!
