High places, trails and training with a splash of fashion and rhythm flavour
We are here, so now what. It certainly doesn't end when you get there. The fact that my husband already had a job promised (as soon as we get the visa) dictated quite a lot on where we would be living so we decided we would look for houses around that area which was Caboolture, [...]
After about 6 months we got the email from the immigration office that they are getting closer in granting the PR Visa. At that time if you fulfilled all the requirements (of which the most important one was the qualification for a skilled occupation category) it was very unlikely that you would not get the [...]
I have been avoiding starting this series of stories because by writing about Australia I will be poking into some memories, lots of them actually, some good, some bad. It was the time when the family was still one and I didn't know what was coming. It was a dream come true to be able [...]
For almost two years you live in the fear of it. At first is the fear of the unknown. Then the fear of what you know. After that the fear of being tired of it until the realisation of the inevitable comes. No matter how many vaccines you get or how much time passes we will most likely all end up getting it before it fades away. I am about to find out how it affects me...
Bottom of the wave There is beauty in the nature It has been interesting to follow your mind and how it works in situations like this.

Hard practise I tell you! Clear to say I have not been so into blogging about training since this is my first training post this year. Why, I don't know. I have been training, but maybe it's because I have not had any clear goal that I have felt like "I have nothing to say" [...]
So weighing between getting the virus and getting side effects from the vaccine there was really no real dilemma. I got the vaccine when I had the chance and didn't have any side effects ( I know some have had).
It's been so many months since we hit the second wave here in Finland. First we thought that things were getting better but then we quickly noticed that it was actually getting worse. Case amounts rose steadily to amounts higher than ever during the pandemic early this year. Me and my daughter on a picnic. [...]
No doubt year 2020 was very different to me and not only because of covid-19 but also because I climbed to Kilimanjaro and after that didn't climb or run for the next 8 months. My IT band inflammation was a complete surprise to me and extremely hard mentally to cope with. I am used to [...]
It doesn't sound a lot when you put my monthly exercise into stats, but compared to previous months things have improved a lot. I am now able to train without constant fear of pain and have managed to find some sort of balance. I have done a lot of stretching, increased the amount of running [...]
