Slightly longer, slightly faster..

Not easy to keep down speed and distance, going slightly faster today. Running 9 min, walking 1 min, etc etc. In accordance with the doctors suggestion. Or order.

Here is the run in Endomondo, http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/iBBHXuOUEAk.


Beautiful light when the sun sets.



This is how I feel when I go swimming....



Happy me!

No run today

No run today, foot feeling a bit. Running every second day now, four more times before calling the doctor. Frustrating like hell. When its like this, I almost looking forward for autumn. What good is a summer without running?

A light rain


Not a long run, not a fast run. But a run. Not feeling 100 % in the foot, but I have to give it one more week, see where it takes me. Tomorrow, swimming and maybe frisbee-golf. Day after, another run.

On Thursday, they open the applications for the jubilee marathon in Stockholm next year. 100 years since the olympics in Stockholm, and the race will follow the original track. Why not?

Trailrunning, Ingarö..

..and here is a movie-clip (a first try..).

New trails

Some nice trailrunning outside Stockholm. Second run on my rehab within rehab. Feel a little bit in my foot, but if it stays like that it should be ok. Tomorrow swimming, maybee frisbee golf (if I can get my brother moving), then running again on Tuesday.

The trail in Endomondo.

Here we go again- rehab within rehab

Talked to my doctor today, and finally I can try some sloooow runs again. Every second day for a week or two, no more than 25-30 min with some walking mixed in. See if that works. If the foot feels ok, I can get back to the rehab of my knee. Rehab within rehab..

Tried some open water swimming. Since I have not become sick yet, I assume the seewater is also good quality. ..


This is how happy I get when I can do some ruuuuuuuuning!

Time for some swimming!



 Actually, quite nice in the water. But honestly, nicer afterwards..

Swimming- how can that be fun?

Simple answer: it can not.

Now you might say that it has to do with attitude, that I have to go in the pool with positive thinking. That I will find it fun when I get better at it.
To those claims, there is an equally simple answer: bs!

Swimming for the 4th time in six days. But now that I am thinking of it. I am doing something good for the people. I am checking the quality of the water! If there would be any contamination, bacterias or whatever in the water, I would be the first one to hit the sick-bed. I probably swallow a few liters of water every swim, and if that does not make me sick, no one else will get sick.

Thats a positive thought. I think I will bring that with me next time, on Sunday. Oh, I will jump in the water feeling joy and hapiness, full of self esteem, power and energy.

Or not..
