Fjällfysiken Obstacle Race | Elin Härkönens blogg

First RACE since European Championships today and I am so happy and thankful that I was able to complete it. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I would participate... my body hasn't recovered well since The Netherlands. Lack of sleep and increased painlevel has it's impact. BUT I am trying to stay positive, like always. I'm thankful and happy that my body is letting me train at all. And that I am the European Champion is almost too good to be true🙏 But yes I am struggeling with the acceptans that my body is not coping well with as much training and physical activity as it used to. I don't want to be limited, because in my world there are NO limits....but when my body is saying NO I somewhere feel that I have to listen and work with acceptance. but it is tough. Therefor I wasn't sure if I would participate today at Fjällfysiken Obstacle Race. I really wanted to, but ..... I have been resting more than normal during my days here so in the end I decided to give it a go, just for fun. See it as a challenge, a challenge to not be disapointed if my body would say no during the race. A challenge to let myself take it easy and just do it for FUN. I managed!!! I did it! And I completed the race. Best of all I enjoyed it and was able to take it easy! I didn't push my body to it's max and was really enjoying to be running again🙏 To get the chance to compete against one of the BEST runners was an honor! Thanks Yoie (RastaRunner!!) 💪🙌💕 THANK YOU JACK and Fjällfysiken for an awesome competition, well organized ! THANKS to everyone cheering and taking photos! Thanks to all of my friends for being so supportive Amazing feeling to be running again SMILE Deadlift with a bar or with an Elin?😅🏋
