I have been adding 0.5km each week over quite some time now and finally today I went for the 10km. It’s my long distance of the week and therefor I do not try to run it fast, actually I try to keep it semi slow (witch is hard for me) so I don’t get an injure. I try to do it in 50 minutes or just below that and today the watch said 49 minutes and 12 seconds.

I will keep the 10km as my long run for some weeks before I stat to add 0.5km again each week. This year I will try (again) to not run into trouble with my knees or shins as I have had so many years now….

Lejre Forsøgscenter (in English: Lejre Experimental Center) is an open-air park where 10.000 years of Danish history is brought to life by reconstructions of ancient living environments, from a Stone Age camp to the 19th century-farm cottages. Besides that the park is blessed with an unique nature as the pictures here show.

Here I will bring you some of the many pictures I took. I’m very happy with the pictures but the small thumbnails here doesn’t do the pictures justest so please click on them to view them in full size !

Well here we are… just inside by the first lake and were met by those beautiful colors.

Then we went to see how the wild boars babies were doing. They were grown quite a big since last time we were here and they didn’t have the speed stripes (as we call them) anymore.

Close by were some of the more normal farm animals.

Besides the beautiful country site we did see a few flowers too.

We went to the field were we last time saw a lot of goats but they were not there. But near by we did find two patting goats that was quite sweet.

After a little walk we came out on the big open field and discovered that the gute sheeps was here today.

We even had a chance to say hi to the big old male sheep Johannes (the one with the big horns). We know his name as we were here in the spring on a tour with a nature guide and he introduced us for Johannes.

Here some great views over the big open field…

Here we are down by the lake just before we enter the forest. Just caught a shot of a flock of birds. I guess they will be heading south very soon.

Those views are just unbelievable..

Inside the forest and a peak out of the Lejre Forsøgscenter area onto farmers land.

More inside the forest and few views over some of the lakes.

Here we have a view from the small Stone Age village. I really like the photo at the right. You can see two small boats made from tree trunks at both sides of the jetty.

A few more from inside the forest.

Here a nice big mushroom.

I just love this old crooked tree just by the sacrifice bog, it’s amazing how it’s shaped. After that we entered the Iron Age village, you can see a little of one of the houses on the right picture.

Some more shuts from inside the Iron Age village. I’m more into taking picture of the nature but I guess we have to come back and take pictures of the houses, tools etc. some day.

Just outside the village with the small lake between us and the village.

And some more views….

I really like how the tree reflects in the pond. I guess that’s why I take this picture every time we go here

Well that was more or less it, now we are back where we started.

I think you see, just by looking at the pictures, that we had a very nice day at Lejre Forsøgscenter !

If you want to see all the pictures I took, please visit my photo album too.

Today however it’s looking quite good as you can see on this picture.

But sometimes you are just amazed and this might be one of those moments. My blog is up and running again as I just finished installing the new version of WordPress (my old one was out of date and hacked).

Before you goet too exicted please remember that my time is very limited so posts here will not be a daylig thing, from time to time not even a weekly thing, but I will write as often as I can as I just have so much to tell.

As those pictures show, nature can’t really understand it’s winter and not spring….

Finally I managed to get a picture of a bird flying, something I have tried many times without luck…

We ended our little walk at the little pond and feed the ducks with a little bread… They really liked it

Here are some pictures - Happy New Year !

A lot had happened this year, that I can say for sure !

Some of the big highlights was:
My sister and her boyfriend, both from USA, came for a few days and we had some great days together, I was just so happy to see them !
Tine and I rented a cottage in Jutland, did some serious sightseeing and had a great - but busy - time. Besides that Tine and I did a lot of great small one day trips too.

I have been running and bicycle riding quite some. In total I have been running 763Km on my own and about 160Km with Tine. On the bicycle I “only” did 784Km witch is a lot better than the ~200Km last year so I hope this will be a turn around and I will do a lot mere bicycling next year !

This was also the year where i got special made supports in my shoes and a handful of exercises to help me with my knee problem witch always comes when I start to run trips of 8-10Km. All looked good until my first official 10Km run, then the problem came back big time. This was the main reason I stopped updating the blog about my running as it wasn’t going good and I was so disappointed and didn’t feel like writing about it…
Well I’m not a quitter so I turned to a new physiotherapist for another kind of help. Now I’m going to a gym for weight training after a plan he has made for me. We update the plan about once a month so now I’m getting all the help I need from someone that really know what has to be done. I have been going for one and a half month now and I feel it’s really helping a lot !!!

I have started to go to a speech therapist as my stuttering have gone from bad to worse the last few years. I do feel progress in my speaking now but I have to say it’s hard work and there are days or weeks where I just feel the progress is to slow.

So as you can see, I have had a lot to write about but the circumstances and lag of time has prevent me from updating my blog. I hope to start updating again from now on, and even post something from the many trips Tine and I did this year. So don’t be surprised if older posts suddenly appear…..

At last let me take the time to wish all readers, all I know and especially my family in USA a happy new year !!!

And here we’re passing it again on our way home.

I like taking night pictures, so here is a few more hand held ones….

We came a little before it was dark…

But already after 30 minutes or so it was starting to get dark…

And then it was just like night time, even it was only about 4:30pm.

It’s always so pretty at the lake with all the lights !

This time we saw the light show.. It was fine but as we talked about afterwards, we were glad that we didn’t have to stand in line for the show as it wasn’t that spectacular…

Here is one small shop that had a lot of funny stuff. Look how many there are in a very little space. We decide not to count them…..

Inside there were a quite large pixie scenery with mechanical pixies…

Outside again we decided to head home again so here is just a few pics on our way out…

We both had a great time and we are doing it again next year !

As always, just click on the pictures to see them in normal size.
