Fredhällsparken, september 2023: tusentals löpare tar sig fram på den trånga gångbanan, musiken pumpar upp stämningen och solen skiner. ”Nästa år ska jag springa” tänker jag och dagen efter har jag anmält mig till 2024 års lopp som gick av stapeln i lördags. Den personliga upplevelsen och löpkänslan blev inte alls som väntat men jag …

Maraton – kan jag så kan du
Lidingövägen, klockan närmar sig tolv. Vi är cirka tretton tusen löpare som förväntansfulla gör oss redo för att springa 42 195 meter genom Sveriges vackra huvudstad. Alla tystnar när Linda Pritchard tar mikrofonen. Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden – jag är inte ensam om att få tårar i ögonen och trots värmen …

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.

To run or not to run the Stockholm Marathon on June 1st. That's what I will have to decide within the next couple of days. I really want to participate and the reason why I am hesitating is due to lack of marathon training the last few months. Two days ago, I ran 30 kilometers …
