I’ve just gotten home from a 12 day vacation on Iceland. I went there with my girlfriend and also Bjørn and Jens whom I have been running Helvede i Nord and Copenhagen Marathon with earlier this year. The main event for me was Laugavegurinn Ultra Marathon which is a 55 km run from the interior to the southern part of Iceland. Check out the routes (part1 part2) in Google Earth. I finished in approximately 8 hours which I found is quite a long time to spend on the move without any breaks other than stopping for water and taking pictures. But it was definitely worth it. The route is normally a 4 day hike and is very spectacular to behold with a lot of different beautiful landscapes.
Even though it was a tough run the following days I felt way better than I did after my previous marathon. Now I know that if you train and keep healthy your body can do almost anything. Your body is a miracle!!
Now that I have completed the run my mind is more at ease and I will be able to focus on other exciting stuff to do. I can’t wait to come up with another challenge. But not before I have gotten thoroughly wasted again 8)
