...and I'm unfortunately not well. Nothing I can do about it but drink water, rest and do some saunas :-) Well, my body really want to run again. That's a good sign :-)

Today I will give You a good prescription on a energy cookie! It's a prescription from a swedish, world famous, ultrarunner. His name is Rune Larsson and I copied everything from his homepage on Internet (http://www.loparlarsson.se/content/view/34/57/)
It costs about 20 Sek/kg (3 USd/Pund). Not much money at all...

Ingredients

1. Oatmeal, 7-8 dimensions (let's say 21-24 dl)
2. Syrup, 1 dimension (3 dl)
3. Sugar, 1 dimension (3 dl)
4. Cream, 1 dimension (3 dl)

Cook everything up on the stove, slowly, and be careful! It's hot! Drop som of it in cold water and if you got "bullets" its ready. Else cook some more...

Pour it up in a big oven tray with a little higher sides. Let it cool down and just square it up with a knife. Ready to eat!
The oatmeal is the food and the rest is some kind of glue and energy.

Me making dinner at Nordkapp, Norway 23:30 and sun still up!

... and still sick but MUCH better I must say. Well, I can't run yet and also just decided NOT to run until I'm absolutely fit for fight. Experience says it's good to wait a day or two more than you think. Today it was not so hard to move around and go out with my dogs. Felt really good in my legs but not in my lungs. I'm on the right way though. Look out roads! Soon I'll be out there again :-)

Today I had to run to the bus not to miss it. Well, I caught the bus and didn't feel anything bad in my legs at all which is positive. It has also been quite cold here again, about 2-3°F and perhaps my destiny is to be ill when it's hard to run anyway :-) Positive thinking!

 Yes, it's as cold as it looks like... 2-3°F

 Very nice evening when out walking the dogs (16:30)

 Little higher up is there a little more light...

The trees are all white!

I really feel inspired to run again! Almost like when top myself before a compete or a longrun. When the body get rest for a while it really wants to come back into normal. That feeling depends on the missing of endorphines not coming into your body. Like an addict...

Try to smile to someone and get a new friend!

Easy, Light & Smooth!

... and I'm still not well from the cold but soon I will run again. As I've said before it's extremely important not to start run to early when having an infection. Well, it could feel a little frustrating but wait and the coming runs will be even more nice.

It even was hard just to go out with my dogs. Amazing that so small viruses can hit so hard! They say you can't hav same cold twice and THAT must be the positive part. The not so positive is there is about 30 000 different kind of viruses out there... :-)

When sick I did not write so much but read some Tweets and it's wonderful to see how every singel one out there are fight on with there runnings. Some people a lot of miles and some a little less. Still you all inspire me to fight and I will com back on the roads. Thank you all!

The 140 mile run 18-20th July :-)

When it's hard to smile, try harder!

Easy, Light and Smooth!

... and I will take it easy for a while more. Still sick and cold but I think I'm on the right way though. When read all the nice Tweets on Twitter. How you run, reaching goals, having fun I really going to love being healthy again :-)

Ok, I will run 140 miles this summer but still I think there are a lot of heroes out there. Sometimes it's really nice to read about someone who just did their very firs walk or run. That's things meaning a lot to me and to read about :-)

Well, have to curate me with sauna and water...

Oh, how I long...

Hope you still smiling runners!

Easy, Light and Smooth!

...and still sick but much better though :-) Well, infections is nothing to play around with. Remember to face the fact your sick and just lay back, relax and take it a easy as you can. Going to stay away from running whole weekend and then see how I feel next week. Probably I will start run at wednesday but very slow... Important to be careful.

This evening I took a sauna and a beer. Put some eucalyptus essence in the heater and it was very good to inhale and also sweating some. Felt much better afterwards :-)

Sauna is good when sick and after running :-)

Keep smiling friends!

Easy, Light & Smooth!

No running this week. Lot of runners get mad about that but I just say: Lay back, relax and let the time go. Enjoy the time instead! See forward to the day when you're healthy again.

Well, the roads are waiting for me even if sick... :-)
