Only a few weeks to go til “tjejmilen”. And on Monday I start working again. It will be a puzzle to do as much exercise as possible. I love running outdoors. That is so good. I live in the middle of Stockholm, and sometimes I think of pollution, but I believe that it must be quite ok here since we are close to the sea, Östersjön. With cool breezes and air exchange.

It is not only training that makes you feel good. You need to recover, eat well, and take care of yourself. Step by step, I am learning my new watch. I have friends who also track pulse etc, even during sleep. It measures how I recover. Maybe, it is a kind of Tamagotchi.

I have done the French manicure for my hands. I don’t have long nails, but I like some color. Not so often, but once in a while. Today, during running, I thought a lot of travelling. Past voyages and also about next travelling. It was nice to visit my friend, from long time ago, on Sri Lanka. She has her sister living on Lidingö where I work. My friend showed me a lot when I visited her. These photos have not been shown here before. They are from a park close to a holy area. We ended that day by buying fresh fruit at a market. I often have lime or lemon after training. For the C-vitamins. Important to have antioxidants when living in a city.

Late blogging. I am preparing for running tomorrow, and as usual, I need music for inspiration. I found this one, and it is perfect for the up-coming “tjejmilen”. So, please, enjoy.

Standin’ on their own two feet.
And ringin’ on their own bells.

If you have been on vacation for almost three weeks, you cannot say TGIF, that is why I put a question mark. Or, what is your opinion? I don’t know. Not much to think about, but also fun to think about things that doesn’t matter at all.

One of my goals this summer has been swimming. My sweetie loves swimming. She jumps into the water and swims. Only like dogs do. Dog swimming. I still haven’t trained any crawling because it is too chilly. I must have at least 22-23°C. But there is still time, September is no here yet. It is the breathing that is difficult. Meanwhile, I run. I have run longer distances like 16 kms. It has been ok, and it is very relaxing. It doesn’t feel good that my time is not improving much. But as long as I can run without stopping, that is fine.

Yesterday I was on BBQ, and before that we had “Swedish fika”. I got inspired, and bought some Oreo cookies today. It is Friday.

Not so many days left on my vacation, but today I am happy, because I will see my very first best friend that I grew up with. Vacations are good because you have time to see friends in a more relaxed way. Nice to share childhood memories. We have fun, adventures and beautiful memories.

My book that I have written is on life. Found this summary.
