2nd mail week of May

Once again week has passed so quickly, which is kinda sad, tho it's nice to have a weekend again. Unfortunately, this week I have been a bit sick, so I'm hoping for the next week to be a bit better!

This week I received only one letter from:
- Joanne, Singapore

and also the postcard that my dad sent from Brazil arrived to its destination even though it took such a long time, about 2 months.

 

I did send out a few letters as well, they are traveling to: 

- Ilona, Latvia 

- Dora, Hungary 

- Emilia, Finland 

Last but not least, I wanna wish you all a great weekend!! :)

HCR

On May 10th I attended HCR=Helsinki City Run, which is basically a half marathon, 21 km. It's organized in the capital of Finland, like the name says. This year over 16,000 people attended the event.

Already last fall I decided to attend it, but the motivation went downhill ever since paying the attendance fee. My plan was to practice for it by cross-country skiing a lot during the winter, but it wasn't possible as we didn't get much snow.

My goal wasn't to be fast or to get a good time, I just wanted to get over the finish line! It was a good experience and I'm glad I decided to challenge myself.

Me after the finish line - feeling like a winner!
