I took the opportunity in the beautiful summer weather to run this year's first marathon distance, uphill the slalom slope by lake Sidsjön, further upwards the Smirnov slope then through the 10K track at the Southern Mountain and even further on narrow meandering forest paths out towards Njurunda. Damn how I've missed the scent of sun warm pines during the winter. I had in mind to take a few photos of a small forest pond as research for a planned painting, so I brought the camera. Homewards I ran past Hotel Södra berget down the serpentine road and through the old LV5 military grounds. Next time I'll bring something to drink instead of the camera, I could hardly think of anything else than ice cold beer for the last five kilometres.

It's nice to have the ability to stand almost anywhere, gaze at the horizon, and think I can run there, and then do it.

Jag passade på nu i det vackra sommarvädret och sprang årets första maratondistans, uppför Sidsjöns slalombacke och Smirnovbacken, vidare genom tian på Södra berget och på slingriga skogsstigar bort mot Njurunda. Helvete vad jag saknat doften av solvarma tallar under vintern. Jag hade i tankarna att fotografera en liten skogsgöl någon mil in i skogen som research till en kommande målning, så jag hade kameran med mig. Hem gick det förbi Hotell Södra berget och ner över LV5. Nästa gång tar jag med mig något att dricka i stället för kameran, kunde knappt tänka på annat än iskall öl den sista halvmilen.

Det är trevligt att ha förmågan att stå i stort sett vartsomhelst, se bort mot horisonten, tänka jag kan springa dit, och så gör man det.

A stone beast was
lurking by the path.
En stenbest lurandes
vid stigen.
