Press relase today
I have sent out a press release today concerning my running career. I took some time after the season to figure out what to do, in terms of running and school.

Off to the US
I am off to the US now, in the beginning off next week - to Chicago where I attended high school. Will be quite interesting to be back there again, ten years (!) since I graduated there :) It was there I started the real hard training for the mid to longer distances - a very, very motivational year.

Resting after the season
I tried to take some days very easy after the European Champs, even rest days, before testing the leg on a threshold sessions two days ago. Even though it improved dramatically just during the period before the Europeans (and even between prelims and final there) it is still not well enough to even finish up hard trainings - let alone races.

In Gothenburg, briefly
I flew in from Switzerland last night and directly to the European Champs area in Gotenburg. We stay in a hotel quite close to the stadium - only 500 meters away. Just to get checked in and ready, plus to get some treatment on my legs.
