"In sickness and health"

This monday was my birthday, I turned 23 and had a great barbeque with my family and friends. Chickenbreast and salmon is my favorite things to put on the grill! My happy celebration quickly changed when I got a call from my doctor. I've been feeling a bit sick the last couple of weeks, and I just assumed it was a bad case of the flu. But the test results showed that I have mononucleosis. I felt like my whole world came crashing down when I got the news - because I immediately understood that I can't compete this year after all. I'm not allowed to train hard untill I'm better - and for a workout-junkie like myself this felt like the worst possible situation. All my preparations, bulking, dieting, training as hard and smart as I could the last year to get on top of the podium in my competitions, it felt like it all went down the drain. I was so disappointed that there are no words for it.

But then I had to knock some sense into my head. All the hard work I've put down is not in vain, not by far. I'm stronger than I have ever been, I lift heavier and run faster, I know in my heart that I WILL come back better than ever, and when the right time comes I will be back on the stage again. I now have more time to work on my weakspots and to grow as an athlete. Fitness is a jorney - not a destination. So inspite of the fact that I will not reach my destiation which was my destination this fall, my journey continiues. I will come back harder, better, faster, stronger!
