Slowly but surely... (before sickness)

Only a couple of hours with sun this time of the year.
... it goes a very positive way.

Just want to share som nice pics from my runnings before I was hit by a kidney stone and som blood-infection :-)

I have been asked: "Why do you run when you're injured?".
A very well-founded question! If you have an injury of any kind, running or not running-related, you can usually do other things. Cycling, strength mm.

And if I run, I do it with the motto #ELS (Easy, Light and Smooth). I keep constantly in pain threshold. Also, I use an ointment based Aloe Vera which increases blood circulation.

Elton, now 11.5 years, has always been an incredibly good and positive friend
on my running routes but also during walks.
Daring to peek around a corner can be rewarding!
An old barn now used as a shelter for cows in summer.
Old and fine crafts!
A lookout tower that was passed during one of my running routes
The Light in the tunnel ;-)
A great track from one of my runnings.

Always try a little smile and a Hello! Although you may not get as much out of it. Perhaps you may "make someone's day" with just your smile!

Easy, Light and Smooth!

Just passing by a birdhouse :-)
As You can see there is not much snow this winter, even if cold.

I´ve been sick...

...for 2 weeks now. No, not only a little cold. I had a kidney stone in my left kidney. Not very nice I can tell. And that this was not enough, I got a blood infection that did so I had to stay 13 days in the hospital and then sick-leave for another 1,5 weeks at home.

No running for at least 2-3 more weeks. Well, thats life. Nothing else to do than rest :-)
From one of my first walks after coming home from the hospital.
So tired after the walk with Elton but I could walk though!
Elton was so cute!
Almost he understood I´ve been sick.
He was waiting for me and did not tug at all.
No words!
Just so cool light and sky :-)
Well, there´s nothing I can do about it than rest. One positive thing, however, is my resting heart rate of 43 beats per minute. Not that bad for a 54 year old runner ;-)

A smile in the forrest!
No, no birds was home ;-)
