Vårruset 2017

It was a rather cold but sunny evening when I joined 12.000 other women in Vårruset here in Gothenburg. I had my mum cheering me on as I did my best in this 5 kilometer long race. This was my first time running outdoors, usually I'm just on the treadmill, and it was a lot more difficult than expected. I think my biggest issue was to keep a steady pace as I ran past all the joggers and walkers. Ended up on a time around 40 minutes, don't know for sure since the watch I was using for time-taking was useless and showed 32 seconds as I passed the goal. I feel very certain that that wasn't my real time, but who knows for sure.

Though it was cold and harder than expected it was also a fun experience and I will be back next year for sure!

Still haven't decided if I'm going for the "Gothenburg classic" challenge. Mostly because I'm a bit short on money currently and the first race is on the 27th of May. It also falls on a day when Rhys is visiting, so I would have to drag him with me as well.

We'll see what happens. Should probably fix that flat tire of mine and start riding the bike to work first of all.

2017 Resolution

Yes, it's February but I've had a very busy January, another post will spill the secrets.

My resolutions for this year are rather vague, but very important.

Be Creative

I dream very much about being able to start selling my art and I have so many ideas that I think I can execute and that people will be interested in. My big hope is to be able to open an Etsy store bye the end of the summer.

Be Healthy

My body is breaking down. I'm in constant pain which is mainly a result of a desk work, no exercise and a bad posture. And guess what, I'm going to live with this body for quite some time so it's about damn time that I start taking care of it.

I have a list with a few smaller goals that I want to achieve before the end of the year, such as running a few races. And all these goals have nice rewards, which I hope will help me keep the motivation and going through with this.

Bonus

There is also one hidden resolution. One new hairstyle every month. I mean, what is the point of long hair if I'm always tying it into a knot. Let's do something pretty with it, like learning how to make braids of different kind. Just a small and silly thing I'm tossing in there

There we go. I'm really looking forward to this year and I have high hopes on achieving the goals I've set.
