My dog ​​Molly taught me how to take selfies, so if it hadn’t been for her there wouldn’t have been a photo yesterday. I had forgotten what it was like to be in a race. I stepped out of my comfort zone. All the memories from previous races came flooding back. Sometimes I have had company and sometimes I have joined anyway. Those who participate always have the same interest, so meeting new people is easy.

My training was affected by COVID-19, which started in 2020. I started cycling instead to reduce the risk of getting infected. Now the pandemic is over and it was somehow liberating to be in the race yesterday.

Stay safe 🐾

Right now I am carefully following my recommendations to stay safe. After being subjected to serious identity fraud, I am trying in every way to protect myself. It was at a high level because my former supervisor Professor Jörgen Engel was attacked first. A few days later, friends of mine got in touch telling me that someone was trying to launder money through me. Very creepy, I thought. I recently paid back my student-finance loan.

Now it is only forward that counts. I have been busy organizing a big party in the countryside. Many thanks to everyone who participated and also helped to make it a nice get-together party. It was a fantastic and beautiful day and we were able to be out in the garden. It also felt like a starting point for my two books, which were Lady’s books. Now I can focus 100% on Molly’s book.

COVID-19 is no longer to be considered a socially dangerous disease. However, a party in the fresh country air couldn’t have been better since there have been a lot of viruses on the move during the summer. It should be noted that WHO still has a lot of information about covid https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus#tab=tab_1  In addition, it is good to remember to use hand sanitizer and keep your distance when necessary. And stay home if you are sick.

Tomorrow I will take part in the Midnattsloppet in Stockholm. After being exposed to this serious identity theft, my thoughts went to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2023/04/us/boston-marathon-bombing-anniversary/  Security level is still classified as high (4/5) in Sweden. It is important to be careful.

It is 14 years since I took part in Midnattsloppet in Göteborg. I searched for my finish time but it wasn’t there, but my friend Liza´s finishing time was there. Moreover, I also found out that the Midnattsloppet is canceled this year in Gothenburg. Strange. I remember though that there were some, for me, challenging slopes. In Stockholm, there is a challenging hill at Midnattsloppet. There is no doubt that I will be exhausted at Södermalm tomorrow.

Stay safe 🐾
