Something happened over the last week. I think the key was Lasse winning NYC Marathon ticket and the weather turning into spring mode. Wanted to show a proof to myself I can still hit it after a long hiatus and leg issues. Went to home 1K stretch to learn the basics. First time 2K in 6.41 and that was it. Couldn’t even start the second one. Two days after 6.39 and 6.33. No more, third one had to quit. Then a 8 minute push around Mankkaa Golf Course, with half point reached in 6.30, but not able to complete yet. Now the other day a single 1K in 2.59,5! Also a sprint on top of Vehkam\u00e4ki in 49,7. At least reasonable speed is still there. The rest is just hard work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
