This weeks training has been on a very low level. No real motivation or energy in my system. Stiff achilles tendons on top of that, hasn't really given me any enthusiasm for running. I also think that the last couple of weeks with bad sleeping due to that Jim & Nellie are keeping us awake on and off all nights, has effected me more than I want to admit. Good sleep is now a luxuary and I'm very impressed by Misia, who are waking up a couple of times each night to do the breast feeding business, without complaining.

I'm very pleased that I managed to get out for a 21 km run today. Felt rather OK, but I thought about the coming challenge next weekend with some doubts ... Göteborg Marathon 42 km. Only 6 days away and I'm not really prepared for it. But, but, but ... I've been even less prepared before some other marathons, so I will for sure be able to complete it. I have to calculate with some walking in the end. That's alright, I'm not going there to win. Right now, my overall target is to collect another 16 marathons, so I will break the 100 barrier and receive the next major trophy. One race at the time and it will hopefully happen in the end of 2010. If I can keep the pace up and time it in a nice way, I would like to do race no 100 at the classic course between Marathon and Athens. It's normally staged in November each year. Okidoki, the visualization process can begin, with me running in to Athens screaming "Chairete nikomen", but instead of dying myself, I will consider letting my Marathon running "career" die and do something else instead.

Vasaloppet 2009 is over. Very impressive results from a MC-gang perspective. 8 out of 8 succesfull finishers. My conclusion from a general view is that is all about mindset and mental power. OK OK OK, some physical abilites as well. The strongest ach...

Ready to hit the ski tracks tomorrow morning. The temperature is perfect, around -10 to -5 degrees. We have tried the tracks up around Smågan this afternoon and it's fabulous conditions. Now we are hoping for a day tomorrow without any snowfall. ...

Yes, the flu has left my system. It has really helped to empty my body from all kind of energy reserves the last 4-5 days. If I remember correct according to some old body charging theories, it's good to clean out and empty your body, before star...

Time is flying in supersonic speed, so it's good to reflect back now and then, to get a picture of what's happening in life. That's why I now and then take a glimse back in some files to check what was going on the year or years before at...
