Running...

...has become my new favourite hobby. Around the Easter me and my friend Veera decided to participate to a big women's running event called "Naisten kymppi". Naisten kymppi took place in 27th of May in Helsinki. Surprisingly the weather was perfect for 17000 women to run, jog or walk 10 km. I started to practice (meaning jogging 2-3 times a week) for the run about 2 months before and was so happy as we really actually ran the whole way. It took only about 1 hour for us. We felt like winners. And the whole happening was a lot of fun!



Anyways as the race went so well, now we have set the next goal, which is a half marathon! First we thought about the next summer, but as it's so far away we want to try one already this autumn. There will be one in October 14th in Espoo. We are planning to participate to that. October and Finland doesn't sound too good combination for running, because the weather might be really bad. Let's pray it won't be...
