I'm in (I think)!!!

Ok so before I was leaving to Sweden, I received the most amazing email ever from KTH:
Dear Jason,

You appear to be a strong candidate, and will most probably be admitted (I will probably
set the MV value to 5; according to our internal code this is maximum).

You will hear from us in due course.

Regards,
Beatrice
How amazing is that?!?! So I will almost cetainly be there come the autumn!
Right now, I'm enjoying Sweden and preparing for the big move. The weather is nice; cold and damp just like home hihihi. But best of all, I'm here with Sara. There is nowhere I would rather be!

I hope you all have some great reason to be happy like I have. I'll keep updating x

KTH love me!

So I emailed KTH and they sent me a very nice reply, saying how I appear to be a strong candidate :-D So this is looking promising because KTH is definitely the place I want to be (with Sara hihihi).
If I get in, I'll definitely try and run the Stockholm Half Marathon on 11th September! As well as find some floorball teams through my GB contacts.

Now the wait shall continue and I shall do lots of fun coursework in the mean time.

Bath Half = done!

FANTASTIC DAY!

So today I ran the Bath Half, all 13.2 miles of it.

I was feeling nice and nimble at the start and my knee was happy to let me run so I was managing to make 8min/mile pace and it felt lovely! But then as the race went on (around mile 9 or 10) my knee then decided to give me some grief so I thought it was better that I am able to walk this week so decided to ease right off.

I came in at 1:50:43!!! A very respecatble time considering my knee is still bruised and twisted from Poland. Was so close to being able to make sub 1:45:00 but I am happy with sub 2hrs given my injury.

Lots of rest and sleep is on the cards now.
I'll upload my run from my watch and link it tomorrow.

Take care and well done to anyone else who ran and thanks to all those that cheered. Also, one can still sponsor me HERE.

PS I am considering doing the Corsham 10km as well as the Bristol 10km (use it to see what sort of time I feel like trying for in the Bristol one) and if I get into KTH (Stockholm) then I'll do the Stockholm Half Marathon as well!

Bath Half

Ok, so I am running the Bath Half tomorrow and am hoping to still make sub 2hrs, even with all my injuries and set backs.

Please sponsor me HERE and wish me luck (cash is also accepted).

I hope to still be alive to post after the run!

Take care all
