Got myself some fast-looking jogging sneakers today.
And some training clothes.
I’m so gonna have to go into some heavy training to pull this one off, I’m afraid =)
All Psyched now.
A and I have decided to beat the (Swedish) mile in a race next year. The race Tjejmilen is planned for August -07 which means that I will have to put in some serious training from now on. Maybe we could test what shape we’re in by entering the Vårruset in May –07, it is a 5 km race.
I guess that the “getting-into-shape” part will have to contain a mix of working the treadmill and outdoors jogging to get into shape in time. Judging from last week this “beating the mile” thing is within reach. I mean how hard can it be? The race is a year from now.
Jogged 5 kilometers on the treadmill today on just under 40 minutes. Went home from the gym and made pancakes with raspberry jam and ice cream. I’m so full I can hardly move.
After 3½ hours on the boat (Sea breeze) we arrived, it was sunny and warm. We (M&A and J & I) checked in and went to the restaurant down by the sea. Had some lunch and a beer.
The weather grew rapidly worse so we decided not to go kayaking as we had planed but instead we went for a sauna session. For the better part of an hour we ran in and out from the steaming hot sauna and into the freezing cold sea. Olympic really!
We ate a very nice dinner in the evening, even though I should have ordered the whitefish roe toast for starter instead of the beetroot Capriccio. So many choices =) what a luxury problem…Slept ok though the madras was hard and the kids next door were noisy. The thunderbolts and lightning outside of the window made it all really cosy =)
The next morning we took a walk across the Island to this little fish-smoking cottage and had fresh fish for lunch. In the distance the large ferries (Stena, Silja) showed clear against the horizon as they past between the small Islands that are scattered in the water.
We chilled in the restaurant for a couple of hours before the boat took us back to the city.
It’s been yet another very nice weekend =)
Off and away on a boat.
To the Island Fejan for the weekend
And I will not forget my bathing suit.
Will not forget.
Our BBQ the other night was a success.
About 20 people came, brought whatever they wanted to grill,
we had made potato salad for all of us.
We ate and sipped on some red wine.
Lots of bees. People trying to avoid them…running.
My mother, Joachim’s father, both our baby sisters.
Later we went downtown to Spy bar outdoors bar in Humlegården and then to Soap bar. The latter we could have done without.
It sucked.
Today I’m having a class two hangover.
Yesterday night is a bit fussy but the pieces are falling in place…slowly.
Jogged 5(!) km today.
Just kept on going.
Couldn’t stop.
Energy.
Me and my iPod.
U2 and Metallica in my ears.
I’m proud!
And hungry!
Lunch!
