Yesterday I went to see the "popping grandpa" talking on-stage (look him up on youtube!).
The man is a person of many many achievements - making it far on X-factor, he has been a athlete-scientist over a long period of time and he has during his ripe young age of 66 mastered a fair few disciplines, being a living example of how your dreams come true due to putting theory into practice and not let all of society's limitations (sometimes visible and sometimes invisible) hold you down. Oh how great it is with a bit of practical cheering up once a while.
He made an imprint into my conscious decisions and I am dreaming up different things I really want to do during my life-time. Life is meant to be done not dreamt.
Oh and with all the catastrophies hitting the globe through war and natural tragedies what are you to do? It might as well happen to me tomorrow. I wont go down having any regrets <3
My Life here in beautiful Lofoten.... Life in general, in pieces, and in bits. I hope to colour your world with my thoughts and I hope to share my world with my loved ones...I guess my focus is both micro and macro oriented...and all in all i think that Love conquers all barriers...

Lofoten Marathon
To "set it in stone" I've decided to blog about this.
I hate running. It hurts and it s exhausting. So I've decided to make it my summer project to run the Lofoten Marathon. I will be running 10Ks.
My training schedule:
Yoga and Zumba - twice a week (2 times altogether)
Walking - altogether 4 hours a week
Bicycling: altogether 3 hours a week
That's goal number one. In the end of April I will try to walk 10ks to see what it means in practice and how long it takes to actually walk it.
In May I will try to run it.
In june and july I will start to walk in the mountains - twice a week.
In july I will try to run the 10Ks for the first time. My goal is to make it in an hour and a half.
The competition is at the end of August....
What do you think?

Choosing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
I made a choice in January to turn around on my bad habits and to become a healthy and fit young lady.
This in all its practical glory means that I have started to use this online tool to count my calories, to make sure I am inside the daily intake that is recommended.
Further I only have one day a week where I am able to eat whatever I want. Interesting - cos I end up eating healthy on that day as well, as it turns out that it is actually quite sickening when I choose to eat unhealthily.
My sweet tooth is still around, but is slowly being fazed out.
I have a fitness goal for the first time in at least 10 years, as I will run 10 kilometres in the Lofoten Marathon in August.
3 or 4 times a week now I do excercises that makes me sweat. Which feels good - both in mind and body.
All easy steps - but important ones to take me in the right and healthy direction. Making sure to hydrate and keep healthy.
And last but not least. I am trying to get enough sleep. I need my 8 hours worth every night - and I am almost there.
Turning around and trying my best to stay healthy will work in my favour in the long run - after all - i am soon turning 30 you know........Still a bit freaked out by that but I will make sure the next decade will be fun filled and a happy one.
Internal focus in changing your bad habits in life are crucial to be able to fully change and maintaining a consequencial changed life. It is hard work, willful work and it requires a full wholehearted wish to make ones life better.
