Mars...

.. is in Roman mythology generally considered the Roman god of war.

I have been fighting for 55 years without resistance worse than having been able to master them. The last three years, however, have been so tough that before Christmas 2018, I had to enroll myself.
This was due to post-traumatic stress caused by all the stored thoughts I carried on after the blood infection I suffered.

Well, today I feel much better again, even though I don't run more than maybe 20% of what I once did each year.. 
During these three years I have still won a DM in marathon and have had another three marathons in Stockholm with my children so I am quite satisfied anyway.


One thing is that I started to accept, more and more, that I may not be able to run as I always could. It goes slower and right now I have a little boring inflammation in my right foot so I can't run for now.

Instead I have been doing som other nice things. Me and my wife went down to Stockholm to see our children and our grandson. We also went for a historical walk with a guide in the old part of the town (Gamla stan).
Hell of a weather but so interesting with history.
Today, 2019-03-29, I had my last conversation with my therapist. She is really good and I believe that you can't handle everything yourself. Sometimes you simply have to take help from experts.

Well I do feel alright once again and slowly I will build up my body for longer and longer runnings.

Little more than 3 years after my kidney stone and sepsis.
So nice to be out there again!
Dare to smile!
Dare to say Hello!
Dare to peek around corners!
Dare to do what You think!
Dare to accept!

Easy, Light and Smooth!
