Blodomloppet was yesterday. It was a long time ago since I participated in a running course, and it has been great for me to have training this spring. I didn’t run that fast, more than an hour for 10 km. But I should be content since I didn’t stop, and it felt good afterwards. Weather was ok, no rain. But today it has been rainy and also some thunder. So I must say I was lucky.

When I go for running alone it is like meditation. It is good to do this kind of training since a running course pushes you to run faster and be even more focused. Now I have a whole summer infront of me. I am trying to find people who would like to join for tjejmilen the 31st of August. But first, I share this photo from yesterday after finishing blodomloppet.

I am rather prepared for tomorrow and I am looking forward to the running course. Indeed, I would like to have a better time than approximately an hour. But, it will be fun anyway. It has really been good for me to focus on training. And it is so nice to experience the change in nature that currently appears. It is getting greener every day. More flowers. Deers, rabbits and also walking with sweetie.

Blodomloppet is a good way of running together with colleagues. A previous colleague who worked at LloydsPharmacies will join. I am very happy about that. Later, I will probably also run “Tjejmilen”, and I am trying to get more people interested. Last time I ran tjejmilen, it was sponsored by LloydsPharmacies. And a previous colleague from AstraZeneca also ran. We met after running and it was great to reunite. I have noticed that I get more focused on training when I have a goal.

Training is very good for me. It helps me to get inspiration for writing, and also to help customers to find right pharmacological treatment. Tomorrow I will go directly from work to Djurgården, Kaknästornet. Weather forecast is predicting rain. I really hope not. It would be so nice with sunshine. Sharing a picture from my daily life from the pharmacy at Lidingö.

Today I completed my mini pharmacy with various products. Things that are good to have at home in case of accident or any other emergency. Like wounded feet or symptoms of a cold etc. I do not want to cancel my running since I have been looking forward to it for such a long time. During the day I have had more water than usual, and I will continue with that tomorrow. I must admit that I have been lucky since I haven’t been injured. No inflammation.

This is the first time I participate in blodomloppet. For those of you who have followed my writing know that I have written a story about Fredrik and his daughter Greten. I was deeply attached to the characters in my book, especially Greten. She was very unlucky and the reader will learn about leukemia. The immunsystem is very facinating and complicated. I felt very sorry for Greten, and I was also interested in knowing my own blood group. Last autumn I donated blood for the very first time. It was ok and I only need to refill my iron depots.

I will just relax tonight and tomorrow. And I am looking forward to Wednesday.
