# Indoor season over - looking forward to summer

 ![Logo for the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Valencia 2008](/assets/images/journal/253-5970.jpg "http://www.iaaf.org/WIC08/index.html")

**Here’s a short summary of the last weeks in English, looking at life from my athletics career’s point of view.**

The indoor season is over for me and I’m going to enjoy the [World Indoor Championships in Valencia](http://www.iaaf.org/WIC08/index.html) on TV next week end before the real spring training starts. My training partner [Lena](http://www.lenaberntsson.se/) is running the 60m and, as usual, it will be great to see what [Sanna](http://www.sannakallur.se/), [Stefan](http://www.scholm.com/), Johan and the others are able to do against the best in the world.

Last week was the Swedish Indoor Championships in Malmö. After having a good start of the indoor season, compared to last year, I was really looking forward to the championships. And, after winning 3 medals last year (60m, 200m and 4x200m) I had high hopes of being able to duplicate that this year also. Unfortunately, a hamstring injury three weeks before the championships made it impossible to participate and I was stuck in Göteborg while the others went down south to Malmö.

I’m back on track again (and I ran three sessions in the last five days without any problems) so despite the missed championships I think that this indoor season was an important one for me, since I really enjoyed running again. I’ve also performed a lot better on most of the physical tests this year compared to last year so hopefully I can use this unplanned break wisely and benefit from it this summer.

Athletics has been really fun again the last months and I really think that this will show in the results this summer. It would be great if I could beat that [old 100m PB](/athletics) this year, and go sub 21 in the 200m…

Until then, good luck next week end guys!!
