The Virus Diary – Month 18 Healing process

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. First you convince yourself that nothing's changed ,everything is just fine because you have to. It's a way of surviving, it's a way of managing the situation. The truth [...]

Training –  Other interests 01-02/21

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" [...]

Training 2020 totals – A very different year

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 [...]

Training Nov/Dec 20 – I can run! (and Yoga…)

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 [...]

Training Aug/Sep/Oct 20 – Something is better than nothing

So where do I start? From the fact that when schools start it's always chaos for our family for a few weeks. This time the chaos seemed to last forever. It's been two months and I still feel like I am in a fast spinning wheel. Blogging has been on my mind, but unfortunately I [...]

Training Jul/20 – Finally back to gym!

I cannot even start to express how grateful I am that finally there has been some progress on the healing and I have been able to train (a bit) without any pain on my left knee. I think it was around mid July when there was a clear change. I was getting fairly desperate with [...]

Training – Jun/20 – No progress and holiday mode

A bit of relaxing at a waterpark The only good part about June was that I was on holiday. We had fun with the kids camping by lakeside. Weather was perfect until we got a quick thunderstorm but the tent stayed dry inside so nothing to worry! It was almost midsummer so there was daylight [...]

Training – W20-22 Slowly does it

I've been thinking how to finally get back to training so I would not overdo it again. Decided to try cycling a bit first and then walking and add slowly a bit of running with max two times a week and max 3 kilometers at a time. I clearly have lately had the need to [...]

Training – W16-19/2020 Absolute stand still

I haven't been able to train at all for the past weeks. I was sure that "listen to your body and let it heal" would work, but it dd not seem to do the trick. I took it really easy for a few weeks and then went for a short walk with my daughter to [...]

Training – W13/2020 Running too much?

Training – W13/2020 Running too much?

Week started with a nice 12,2 kilometers run/walk/stair climbing combo on a sunny afternoon. After running 36 kilometers the previous week and now this on top my legs called it quits. I normally run max 25 kilometers a week so I had run almost twice that much in one week so no wonder my legs [...]
