High places, trails and training with a splash of fashion and rhythm flavour
A bit of relaxing at a waterpark The only good part about June was that I was on holiday. We had fun with the kids camping by lakeside. Weather was perfect until we got a quick thunderstorm but the tent stayed dry inside so nothing to worry! It was almost midsummer so there was daylight [...]
I'm serious and it's not funny (although at times it actually is), but I really feel like I can't see at all sometimes. It's getting worse all the time and soon I think I may need to start wearing glasses full time. I don't like it, I find it annoying and I want to turn [...]
The situation here in Finland is so much better than it was the last time I wrote. The government decided to lift the restriction in early June for the first time and have since done some more changes to them. Now we are allowed to eat in a restaurant (with restrictions... 50% capacity inside and [...]
They say that women were not designed to live much past 40 years from evolution point of view (hunter/gatherer era, more interesting hypothesis and research here) which makes sense as otherwise you would think that women would have eggs for reproduction enough to last 80+ years when the life expectancy for women in Finland is [...]
I've been thinking how to finally get back to training so I would not overdo it again. Decided to try cycling a bit first and then walking and add slowly a bit of running with max two times a week and max 3 kilometers at a time. I clearly have lately had the need to [...]
Sunburn on my lower lip! I could not sleep. I had this weird tingling feeling on my lower lip. I kept on putting lip balm on it, but it just did not go away. I finally fell asleep though only to wake up later with my lower lip completely swollen. It felt like an allergic [...]
Primary schools and kindergartens opened up again this week here in Finland. In a way it's an end to a certain era of the fight against Covid-19. I doubt we will need to have this drastic measures again, but you never know. It has helped a little with the concentration now that there is less [...]
I haven't been able to train at all for the past weeks. I was sure that "listen to your body and let it heal" would work, but it dd not seem to do the trick. I took it really easy for a few weeks and then went for a short walk with my daughter to [...]
Leaving Kibo camp heading towards Mawenzi peak Finally down hill, yay! I was so happy to go to bed knowing I would be "getting out of here". I was already feeling better, but still not good. Anything you did was an effort. Getting up and going to the toilet even! I had hard time falling [...]
This is now longer new and exciting. This is no longer the new normal. This is now abnormal and I would like it to end. I think that pretty much sums up the feelings of the past few weeks, but let's dig deeper into why I feel this. No running... no forest, so gardening! I [...]
