...183 days left and it's X-mas holiday :-)

Merry Christmas

and a

Happy New Year

I have to thank everyone who followed and inspired me throughout 2013 and helped me out in training, whatever the weather. When I then ran around the Great Lake with a huge support that I never thought possible so happened that I shed a tear. And not because I had so much pain in my legs. Thank you!

Here in Sweden we have Christmas holiday or a "winter break" now. Well, as you might understand now, there will be a lot of time with my family and with my running-shoes ;-)

First day of, Saturday Dec 20th, I ran 13,55 miles (21,81 km) and it really felt great! I choose to run in a way so I have to "compete" 4 great hills. It was not so hard but the slopes were a bit tough. Good workout! :-)
Otherwise the day was perfect for running with great views. Even if I've seen those views almost every day I'm still fascinated by them!

Well, this is one great morning when I have been running almost 2h and the sun is coming up.
This is ONE of many reasons I'm a runner :-)

December 21 I did a run on my own. I ran 9,13 miles and felt a little stiffness in my legs from yesterdays hard hills. Well, a little rest and I will be alright again! Tomorrow I will run with my daughter Ingrid. Going to be fun!

December 22 and me and Ingrid went for a little run. About 4,5 miles in small roads. A bit icy but just fine. I used my Asics Arctic with spikes. Great shoes I think. Felt rather ok but still some stiffness in my legs though.

Ingrid and me after the run. It just turned to dark at 16:00.

December 23 and I took Elton with me for a 5-miler. First we ran on roads and the small roads up in the forrest and finally in small paths. Very nice run with one great hill between 2-3,5 miles. Perfect weather for running I'll say.

Postcard-like!

As you can see some snowmobiles normally use this track wintertime and the advantage is I easily can run on the spot wintertime. :-)

Snowmobile trails facilitates my running in the woods in wintertime.

Life is full of decisions but when running all of them are fun!

When you're out there running try to say Hello! and smile a little. Who knows, you may do so to someone's day will be their best! :-)

Easy, Light and Smooth!
