#sawteeth #HIIT stair #running today, cool down back. #10K in all

Came across #Stockholm fave: deer. Now sporting a crown? Anyone know why?

And thanks to parks people, clear shot of the 300-ish year old "Perdition" inn at Little Hornsberg. ☺️

You know, for #ItsInTheSigns. ☺️
And fun and health

#winter conditions #running. Typical for 60°N this time of year. Invigorating!

The low sunshine is a welcome spotlight of beauty, no matter how cold, slippery. Thank goodness for #IceBug shoes!

We'll see you out there. Even saved a seat! #BreakingImpossible #hk4tuc #Sormlands100

Docs' advice: take #running easy for a bit. Now? Advised to slowly get back. Just with different mindset, they say. 🤷

Pace tells you I took it easy. Hopefully matches target mindset too. 🤔 Anyway, smelled the flowers.

Happy #Solstice; #Midsummer to those who observe it. And how can you not? Here at 60°N, no matter how you slide it, it's a *lot* of sunshine.

We live between fire and ice.
Today? ☀️fire!

Whew-weee! Let's call this acclimation #running. It's 20°C, but the sun is so! Big! Requiring big ol' water bag.

So, sun and weight. Getting used to you again!

Brunch #running today! Lovely meal at Ulriksdal gardens, fave #Stockholm destination.

Then a whirl around the grounds, then a trot home. The riot of #Sweden spring in full swing!

What a great way to spend a day!

Beautiful day!

Happy mother's day, to you who have them!

Before festivities, went #HIIT #running, to prepare, making it an awesome #FaceJourneyTreat

Are we safe to say spring has come? 🤞
Apollo, is that you? 🤔

Today, "not dead yet" #running past Birger Jarl's cenotaph.

Nice, sunny #5M, with a spring "magic Mile" baseline.

Plenty of sundials, just for fun!

Sometimes it really is just roadwork.

9° out there - it's cold! Especially with the wind.

But, with the blossoms fluttering, it was like a C-Drama lone swordsman scene. 😍

#Sun #running - all the guns, buns and funs out!

Was a bit of a sun chase, but realized halfway, I ain't gonna catch it

Also: "warning - thin ice" 🤣

Don't get all excited. It's only eBike #riding for recovery fun! Good distance, low effort

Got to the only #RailTrail I found here in #Stockholm.
Pretty cool, but too short

Squoze in some #sunflower #running, just couldn't resist.

Funny thing about #Sweden spring: one day it's all branches & buds. The next day...? A riot of leaves. Indeed, spring, sprung.

As always: saved a seat!

Sunflower #running: maybe spring has come?! Still, it was snowed Friday!

Felt slow, but I'll take 6:16/km; 10:00/mi☺️

As usual, we saved a seat for you.
We'll see you out there #BreakingImpossible

All that busy makes getting out there for a #run all the more vital.

While out there, also came across some folks clinging to winter by mashing up skiing and skateboarding by riding the rails! 😲

Day Three #running #HIIT cycle, which calls for light recovery #run.

Drat! A giant space sheep is blocking my view of the eclipse. Maybe this is the apocy-eclipse everyone is talking about?!

Anyway. Lovely night for it.

Day two of the #HIIT #running cycle, again with some minor hill climbs.

Spring is trying its hardest, but brooding gray still winning out.

Bit of an odd sighting, staring back at me too!

Kicking off a #HIIT #running cycle.
Timed it so the last couple sprints also had hill climbs.

Weather is a study in gray. And lumpy snow. Matches my foggy, lumpy heart these days.
So! Let's goooo!
