Dear all,

What on earth have I signed up for? And why?

The latter part seems to be important for finishers, at least if you read previous blogs and reports. When times get tough, not if.. only when.. past participants says that only your inner motivation will guide you. I know my reasons but will they be sufficient?

I know others have done a much harder thing than I will do. My passion in life is to do whatever I can to support survivorship after cardiac arrest. Those few who survive globally have all done something much harder than a volontary race and one of the things I will do is try to gather funding for a physical meeting for survivors in Sweden. Every step towards the finish line counts https://gofund.me/27c5168c9

While the days run by, I will keep running according to the training plan provided by racingtheplanet, works well so far- but is it enough? I have repacked my backpack several times, with half of the mandatory stuff it is quite full and feels heavier than the kilos... where will my blisters appear? 

Many questions... if you read this, add your best advice :)
