Sally’s wedding and women’s 10 kilometers!

What a summer. Stockholm is fantastic in the summer with water in the middle of the city. I haven’t swum yet, even though it looks very inviting. I like saltwater swimming the most because I’m afraid of being bitten by a pike.

I have now switched from cycling to jogging, and it’s going well. I reviewed my training times from 10 years ago, and I can see potential for improvement. It is wonderful to go jogging, but I know that interval training is needed to achieve my previous results.

Reading some literature on training to find changes that will increase my performance. The goal is to jog 10 km under 60 minutes. I have August to improve. When I go jogging in Stockholm, I pass horses in a pasture similar to the countryside.

Countryside.

It is a bit of a win-win because I need to be in shape to wear a dress in a week. I am going to Sally’s wedding on Friday. She has struggled much with her studies, and soon she will have her final semester. And now she is getting married. Hurrah!

I have received some tips that it is good to have comfortable dancing shoes, maybe some chafing plasters too. I searched and found this song that sums up quite a lot: ”Young hearts run free 🎵🎵🎵

 

When life goes by so fast

It has almost become a habit to travel a little south at the beginning of spring. To be safe in case it turns out to be a rainy summer. We are almost in the middle of July, and one day it is high summer while the next day it is raining. Then it is nice to be able to think about sunny days in May.

I still enjoy the different artists. It was an experience in at least three dimensions. In Antibes, I had to wait for Picasso’s museum to open after lunch. It didn’t matter because I got to enjoy a wonderful view. Azure-blue sky that met the sea, to the tunes of a wandering musician playing.

Nice far away.

Suddenly, a long queue formed for tickets to the Stone House of Art on the mountain by the sea. The wait was filled with various events, where the main observation was a group of people from China who were given priority. I almost breathed a sigh of relief because it was the first Chinese tourist group I had seen since the start of the pandemic. The order is back to normal.

Once inside the stone house, I found a lot of large paintings, and I also found a terrace where I could breathe freely with an astonishing view of the sea. I took a deep breath and continued my walk through the different rooms. Even though I had been there for several hours, it felt like a minute. This dimension of life, I mean time, continues to fascinate.
