There is change going on in the air. Allergy season is beginning. Evenings are brighter. Easter is over and it is time to look forward. I have been off writing a few days since I have spent time in the countryside. I am focusing a lot on exercise so I have run and done some walking. It is rather difficult, challenging, to have a life in balance. To have sweets and counterbalance with work out. Weather has been rather bad; rain and wind. Those days are challenging. Just to put the shoes on, not think and just start to run. To think of nothing.

It is a great reward to run. I often get a chance to catch a glimpse of animals in the forest. Lots of deers. Last run I actually counted to a total of nine deers. Not bad. Furthermore, it clears my mind and it is wonderful to get fresh air. Now my feet hurts so I have to be careful.

Please enjoy my first flower signs of winter changing to spring.

I have felt very sad today because of what happened yesterday in Belgium. That was a clear threat to people in whole Europe. Bruxelles is for me a great symbol for peace. A town unifying countries after the second world war. People from all over the world live side by side, day after day even various religions are frequent. However, it seems like these kinds of catastrophes are more common nowadays. But I will never be able to understand this. Changes cannot be made by violence.

Thought of this photo tonight and I like it a lot.

There is definitely change going on, the temperature is rising. Mornings are brighter. I really like this time of the year. Change from darkness to brighter times. I saw this sign on the photo below last weekend. Sweet.

I am very focused on exercise right now and I will be till summer. Women´s health is coming up soon. Long distance running. I try to find inspiration to keep up a good mood. And I try to not get wounded. I must admit that it is a little challenging to run now because there is still a lot of ice on the roads.

Today is woman’s day. So, I should write something. It says a lot that there has to be a woman’s day. What am I doing tonight? I am just spending my evening at home watching CNN. Saw an interview with a Swedish minister representing freedom. No clear take home message for women´s situation in Sweden. It is good to watch various news, that broadens your mind.

Ok, all for tonight. Thank you for reading!

Sportlov has really been the topic this week. It has been rather calm in Stockholm since a lot of people leave for sports vacation. So, I have been lazy writing. The truth is that I don´t have much to write about since I am so focused on training. And the exercise is, more or less, the same. Weather conditions vary.

This week´s exercise has been cycling, running, walking and barre. I have also watched some sports on TV. A lot of skiing from Holmenkollen. Great fun to watch. Tomorrow is Vasaloppet and there has been a lot of preparation for that. I think that someone from Norway will be winner tomorrow. Norway are strong now.

Tonight will be early. Sleep is good to recover and I will go for a run tomorrow.

Running is my life right now. Whenever I get an occation I run. It is really challenging since there is snow and ice on the roads. In addition, it gets dark early in the afternoon. Today was so good. Such beautiful weather. I have some photos on Instagram. Snow and blue sky! And sweetie.

It is, so called, sportlov in Sweden right now so I saw a lot of skiers on the train to Stockholm tonight. I also watched TV today and saw some skiing from Holmenkollen in Oslo. It is true, watching sports give more energy than watching news. I think there should be both good and bad news, not only bad news all the time.

A lot of focus has been on Olof Palme today. It is 30 years since he was murdered. Investigations are still open even though it is such a long time ago. I remember that day and I remember Hans Holmér leading the investigation. Tonight I will read what Dagens Nyheter has to say about this.

I have a day off. Sometimes I just like to do nothing so I have spent most of my day listening to the radio. I don´t know why but there are rarely good news reported. That is why I have started to follow sports on TV. That gives me energy. Very positive.

I was lucky today because weather is good. Rather cold but sunny. I have running in my mind and focusing a lot on Women´s health running. Today in exactly 2 months . Since I am in Stockholm I could not walk with my sweetie. I have noticed that it is good to walk after running. Good for the muscles. So tomorrow I will probably have pain. So, just a little something from me today.
