Happiness is a ressource

Its been a while since I last shared my experiences regarding my training for Challenge Copenhagen. Time flies when you are having fun and life treats you good!

Overall my trainings are still full of energy – I always look forward to them – even when the clock says 6 in the morning. Actually – those trainings are the best. Because once they are over – I feel fantastic, and have put ”hours in the bank” – so the rest of the remaining day have a hard time to convince me that it should’nt be a great day!! Body and mind all set for the workday challenges. Actually. That’s my point.

At the Friday morning bike class, the very good instructor said: All this training sometimes seem to be too much. But remember. Happiness is a ressource – do things, that makes you happy – and you will suddenly have a lot more profits to other things in your life.

For me the trainings are a drug now – its not difficult to put happiness into them. They move my body and mind.

The biggest move for me right now is my swimming. Since our little swim team teamed up with Mark Vogel, swimming suddenly moved from ”safe area – restitution” to big time challenges and kick ass trainings! Its great – and it was certainly time for me to expose the skills …

And those skills …. Hmm. I sure have gained a lot of bad habbits during my own trainings. But since I am such a newbie in swimming, I had prepared for some hardcore correction instructions – all focusing on making me stronger and expecially tecnical better.

The first challenge was getting rid of the pool buoy. I miss it! But I must agree – it was artificial respiration…. My challenges are huge, swimming without it. 100 m and my lungs are on fire! A bit hard for my confidence putting my skills back in line – but hey – then I remember how it all started. I hated pools, poolwater, and all that followed. Now I enjoy every stroke, every lane – because I get better everytime I do it. Over and over again.

Thanks to all the lovely people who helps me ... :-)

Btw -I am also proud of telling that I have got 2 sponsors for my Challenge Copenhagen. The ad agency Sunrise where I work, and Wib-byg also supports me heading for my big dream. Thank you! – I am very happy and grateful :-)
