This year….

December 31st, 2007

What happened this year ? Why did I stop updating the blog ? What is the right question to the answer “42″ ? There are just so many questions and many of them I can answer but it’s just hard to find the time to do so….

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 !!!

Hey… is that the sun ?

December 31st, 2007

Just wanted to express my joy of seeing the sun again. Actually we did see the sun a little both yesterday and today but other than that we have had gray and cloudy weather the last 14 or so days without just a peek of the sun. I was started to wonder if the sun was gone for good but here it’s back !!!

Christmas in Tivoli again

December 26th, 2007

Once again Tine and I did a trip to Tivoli to see there Christmas decoration. We decided to go again as there were so crowed the last time we went. This time we were more lucky, there wasn’t that many people so we had no trouble walking around, looking in all the small shops and just enjoying everything.

We came a little before it was dark…

Pic Pic

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…

Pic Pic

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…
