145 days left...

... and I start my day, as usual, with breakfast and a walk with Adam and Elton (dogs). Then I "loaded" for WC XC-Ski Sprint-Relay. Not as crazy as it sounds. It's two skiers do about 3 km times 3 rounds each (totally 6 rounds) and they change every 2nd round. Very interesting and fun! Lot of tactics so almost any team have chance to win. Well, Sweden got two medals of silver! Both the Swedish women and men did came on second place. Cool! Also must say: USA was the winner of of the ladies and Russia of the men. Well, it was very fun watching it!


Magnus and I on todays XC-ski. It was about 32-33F and we had good glide.
It was a wonderful day and we did 6,65 miles together :-)

A nice view on our way.

When do activity some hot blueberry soup is just fine!

Well, another day in paradise and there will come more I think! Now Elton is waiting for a Easy, Light and Smooth evening run :-) Will not be a long run but perhaps about 3 miles I guess.

PS Some nice recipes of drink (will take nice bars another time)

Blueberry soup to bring when run or XC-ski (especially for SMALL TOWN RUNNER)
  1. 1/2 L (250 g) fresh or frozen blueberries + 2Tbsp sugar
  2. 5 dl water
  3. 1/2 Tbsp potato starch
  4. When running add just a little salt. 1-3 Tsp maximum! Taste how much

Mix berries, sugar and water in a saucepan. Omit the sugar if the frozen berries are sugared. Boil the mixture. Mix the potato starch with 1/2 cup water. Add mittee in a fine stream with stirring. The soup is then just boil. Done!


Met som people in the XC-tracks Yes! We said hello and smiled too!

  1. Great Ski pics!! Love that you can do that there :)

    Thanks for the much-awaited recipe! I will try this.

    I have to guess..is dl Deciliters? Boy...am I rusty on all metric measurements!

    Looked it up and it's a bit less than 1/2 cup. 1/2 cup water in the blueberries in the pot + 1/2 cup of water with the potato starch? Sounds easy!!
