Still Running
When I was a young boy, I would run up and down the hills, along trails beside the creeks, and climb the mountains in the forest near our villa, nestled at the foot of a mountain in the heart of Sweden.
I always loved running with my arms outstretched in freedom, leaning into the movement as I dashed up and down the slopes — accelerating downhill, surrounded by the forest. I also loved skiing and racing on mini-skis. The speed, the sense of G-force, the acceleration, the lean, the jumps — all of it thrilled me. At this age, it´s more of a delight to be in good shape and be capable of running a distance with enjoyment and apreciation, and feeling fresh afterwards once showered and rehydrated.
I’ve signed up for a half-marathon in Malmö. That means I’ve had to shift my training focus a bit. The new routine includes one long-distance run per week, one shorter run, and two full-body functional workouts.
I haven’t been much of a long-distance runner before — I rarely go beyond 10 km — so this will be a new experience.
Other than that, it’s pretty much the same old hustle, grind and life artistery.
The half marathon is coming up.
Run like the wind
See you at the finish line!
