Running
Today I ran part of the way to work. It was a cold, beautiful winter morning in Stockholm.
We got some more snow. I like running in the winter. Especially when there is snow and the sun is shining.
Today was the first day of snow this season. Not much. I’m looking forward to many more runs on a white trail.
Various things have kept me from running for a while. Today I had enough. I just had to go for a short run. It was the first run with warmer clothes. The weather was nice. I reclaimed some energy.
Today I just needed to run. I had not run since I hurt my achilles tendon almost a month ago. I wanted to see if it still hurt. I felt something, but not too much. I think I still need to take it easy with running, but man it felt good moving again.
Did another bike workout at the gym. Similar heart rate and duration as my regular runs, but felt like more effort because I’m not used to cycling. I’d rather be running, but this is a good alternative. Listened to Hej (resten av) internet! Avsnitt 2: Nyhetsbrev (eller brev kort och gott).
Today I bought a gym membership. I spent another 40 minutes on the bike. I felt good after the workout, but I didn’t get any ideas or inspiration like I usually do when I’m running. Hopefully I can incorporate some runs soon, but I will for sure continue biking to help build an aerobic base.
Today I spent 40 minutes on a bike in the gym. I’d rather be running, but I’ve got some pain in my achilles tendon, so I explore alternative training at the moment. For this workout, I happened to discover the (Swedish) podcast Hej (resten av) internet! It feels like an entry into an alternative, beautiful web-universe. I look forward to more workouts with them in my ears.
It’s like it’s all out there. Energy, motivation, well being, creativity… You just have to put on a pair of shoes and go out and get it. That’s why I run.
I was tired and low on energy. I knew I needed to run. I know that the longer I run, the more energy I get back. I also clarified my thinking on an upcoming blog post. Yey running!
Today I did a lot of focused work. My brain was tired. Solution? Running. It worked. It always works. That’s why I run.
