In these times, it is more important than ever to take care of ourselves and our body and mind. The brain needs physical exercise. Having friends, being with other people strengthen us. Depression often occurs when people isolate themselves. You might have the impression that people are working out more now because you see people …

Women Power!
Recently, I was on a long run with my running club. We were six persons and one of the women were new to me. As always when runners meet, we shared our background of running and other sports. We confirmed how the corona situation had prevented us from doing some sports; swimming, for example, since …
Reading the classics
Due to the pandemic, I couldn’t go to Denmark during the holidays. Thankfully, I could meet my friends out running, a great way to meet outside and keep distance – and talk and laugh and have fun! Since literature is also my passion, I took the opportunity to read some of the classics that had …
Beyond Limits
We all know that physical exercise is good and has so many beneficial advantages. Still, many people prefer not to move if they can avoid it or if they feel the tiniest pain. To me, it is never a question whether to run or not; it’s always “how far” or “how fast”. I wish to …
Looking Back at 2019 and Goals for 2020
For a long time, I have been in a period of transition. 2019 was a year of change, development, challenges and enlightenment.

Before and After
I usually refer to 1998 as an important turning point in my life. Living in Paris as a student, eating and drinking a little too much and even smoking now and then (hard to believe, I know); my bad habits were leading me towards an unhealthy lifestyle. However, my “salvation” was discovering the pleasure of …
February
Snow, frost, beauty. Then thaw, it melts and gets wet and slippery. Then frost again... If a month can be schizophrenic, it’s February! This is the worst time a year in the Nordic countries and I think many runners will agree with me. Most of the time, it is impossible or at least difficult to …
Whatever it takes
When I decided to blog, I intended to be a faithful writer and first, my objective was to write at least one blog post per month. However, lately, I have not been able to keep my promise and not because of lack of ideas or unwillingness to write. No, quite the opposite. I’ve had an …
Amazing London
London in October; the weather outstanding! Beautiful and warm with a blue sky – the smog had been conquered by the sun. People were having picnic in the parks, children were playing, and a lot of people were running (including me, of course). London has a special place in my heart. It was the first …
