Reflection is not a bad thing

 

Brothers in Arms

 

 

 

 

These mist covered

mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be

Some day you´ll return to

Your valleys and farms

And you`ll no longer burn to

be brothers in arms.

 

Through these fields of

destruction

Baptism of fire

I´ve witnessed your suffering

As the battle raged higher

And though they did hurt me

so bad

In my fear and alarm

You did not desert me my

brothers in arms

 

There´s so many different

worlds

So many different suns

And we have just one world

But we live in different ones

 

Now the sun´s go to hell

 

And the moon´s riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

But it´s written in the starlight

And every line in your palm

We´re fools to make war on

Our brothers in arms

/Dire Straits

Well, it has been a very long time since I was out there running as usual. More particularly 6 years!

When you suffer a physical injury, it can in some cases over time turn into a mental crash. Some things you can not control but it is just to crash, cry and talk about what happened.

However, it has been shown that it is not bad to possess a good physical status with good condition and some strength or endurance. Mental crashes are something of an "everyday thing" which always happens during the race when you are an ultra runner.

It is really nice to be back, with a lot of help from good friends, and start to exercise again. My ambition is to run Stockholm marathon with my son once again. Not to run in a specific time but to have a good feeling and reach the goal.

Me out on a nice run again!

My ambition from now on is to run, feel good and enjoy Life and the nature. Time and distance is not an option anymore. Or at least not when I'm planning my workouts! Anything can happen when it feels alright!

Just so peaceful!
This is the key to my kind of Life.

Please listen to Your mind and Body!

Always smile!

Always say Hello to strangers!

Always check around the corners because it's where the Life is hiding!

Just never give up! I decided to blog again. :-)

After so many years of sickness I now may say I'm alright again. I do not want to write about it anymore now but will instead focus on upcoming runs. Sure, I'm turning 60 years this summer, but it is said that without experience it will usually be a little more difficult.

I am very far from the physique I had until Christmas 2015 when I could basically run "any distance". Runnings of almost 60 km sometimes and  both two and three running sessions in one day.

I almost lived running..

Where I live!

Well, You may think, what now then? Am I going to stop running? No, I will not stop running but I will run in another way perhaps. What I mean is I will not log and I will not share in Facebook or Twitter anymore.

I have discovered that many people think it is more important what others think than what the run itself is for themselves. A little tragic I must say..

My friend and running buddy always!

Just so calm and life-giving!

Well, in the seventies (1970-1979) I was a "skater". Below I´m 60 years old and in the Täby skatepark with my grandchild Tage. We had so much fun and I just loved it! It´s NEVER to late living right now but it might be to late to do it tomorrow.

In the bowl again.

Well, not like in the 70:ies but..

I still try to help my friends from Kenya even if I have had some tough 6 years now but I really think I have come out on the other side. Not as the same man but.. still a man.

I have decided to continue running and try to help my friends in Kenya as much as I can.

Emanuel Naibei won the Lagos City Marathon 2021 in 2:11:37

I have also decided to work only 80 % for 2 years and the n go down to 60 % which means I can live and be with my lovely dog Malte. Yes, and run a little more and.. just be!

I also must say I don´t use Facebook (Meta) or Twitter anymore!

Take care out there and never forget to:

SMILE - SAY HELLO! - CHEEK AROUND EVERY CORNER
