Kale and Kiruna

As winter sets in, we decided to return to our pre-pandemic tradition of celebrating Christmas in Kiruna. Booking the trip with Vy Norrtåg, we will split the journey in half with one night at Elite Stadshotellet in Luleå on the way up, hopefully allowing me to go for an icy morning run around the harbour and adding another city to my Strava heat map. 

Wrapping up a magic month that began in Rome with the kids, I make some kale salad with feta cheese, strawberries, and cashew nuts before picking up a pair of neoprene socks (!) in size 48 that I have ordered in preparation for the winter challenge that awaits me in Örebro.
