Already on the last competitions (Austrian Championships and WC Finals) i did not feel well physically. But it came even worse after this. I was not able to run a single minute after coming back from Switzerland. And it does not look like I will be very soon. So no Italian cup final, no half-marathon here in Graz, no Smalandskavlen, this season is over for me. Stop. Not a nice end but at least there is some time now to analyze and to plan for next year.

Yesterday i was last of the qualified runners. Even worse than the day before. Running was still not feeling the best and additionally i did stupid mistakes. Nevertheless it was great fun running in the city of Zürich with spectators cheering on every corner.

Now i don't know exactly what to do the next weeks, but the original plan was to run Italian cup final on Sunday and Graz halfmarathon the week after. We will see how shape is going to be...

Today i finished 34^th in the Middle distance race of world cup final in Switzerland. Doesn't sound too good, but actually i had a nice race technically speaking (not sure about the route choice). But i had no power to push on the hills. Not fully recovered from being sick as it seams.

Looking forward to tomorrow, hoping for a better response from my body
