7 juni. Under the wire

Sitting in the sun counts for juneathon, right?  And planning a 22km hike for Sunday, right.

Now, out to redeem myself by running the dog at 10 til pumpkin.  I want to visit this bamboo forest someday.

I have thoroughly enjoyed today's sunny day. The wind kept me from overheating. I had lunch out on a terrace and got sunburned, which made me very happy.

My son and I walked the dog for a short while. I thought about going for a run but invited him to come with me instead. The wind was too cold for him to stay out as long as I had planned.

4 joy-a-thin

I enjoyed a nice run with the dog this morning.  I took Martin Yelling's intervals with me. Great coaching track.  I love the simplicity of going out for a run.

Looking at the pools it occurred to me that nature rarely uses straight lines.

3 joy filled Monday

Today I researched how to use flight vouchers from last year to buy the tickets to Sweden.  The delta website wouldn't let me book a group with multiple vouchers.  After buying two pairs of tickets I ran into a road block trying to book what the computer thought was an unaccompanied minor. I called customer service and had a great conversation with a very helpful fellow who booked the last two tickets and helped me fix a mistake I made, with the help of the website, in using one of the vouchers. 

Juneathin started with the very thought, ugh. I have to do something.  Beside making multiple meals, working all day, doing several laundry loads, talking to colleagues, and buying the above tickets.  Oh, and making dinner, 

What I love about running is you just need to put on your shoes and start running.

Granted it is 3 June but I ran in my ski coat this evening.  And enjoyed the sunset.  I will upload the garmin later to running free online. Which likes to post to facebook and wow my friends.  Not. Nth else are not impressive runs.  They are walks with sudden and short lived bursts of speed,  well, not really speed. But faster than walking. 

I will come back and add some guaranteed lovely photos.  I took them with an incompatible device.

I had computer issues. I swear. Not just a busy life. Sunday was sunny. I walked with some sprints with the wet dog, who visited with all the other wet dogs on the beach.

See ya later. My mind is scheming to find a time slot for today's fun.

The King's Trail

This summer we are going to northern Sweden, above the Arctic Circle, to trek along the King's Trail. We is two adults, a young adult and three 14-year-olds.  It is a thrilling trip.

I just booked the overnight train travel from Stockholm to Kiruna, a fourteen hour trip. We will trek to Abisko and return by train to Stockholm.

1 june - just start

I switched to a Mac and my Garmin isn't sure it wants to make friends.  I switched phones too and haven't figured out the auto upload.  I'm whining about this so you feel better. I imagine you struggle with change too.**

Okay. Long windy walk with occasional sprints. Juneathon day 1 done.
Photos to make it interesting.

Sorry. Not possible. I need to feed my child and I cannot figure out the technical requirements of drop box, iPhoto, google and samsung.  So. Instead of windy beach. Here is Spring from a few weeks ago. We skipped summer and we're now into blustery fall weather again.

Aha. Never give up.  blustery beach.
