Morning in Kalmar

While my mother went to the pool for her traditional Saturday morning swim, I laced up my marigold Torrents and headed out for a sunrise run around Kalmar. Despite strong northerly winds, conditions were just perfect for running as the ground was frozen without being icy.

As always, running in Kalmar brings back so many memories but also new acquaintances such as a group of stone seals in the port. Passing the castle, I of course had to take a classic tourist photo. After almost 20k, I arrived at a slightly less photogenic Circle-K gas station as I was picking up a rental car to help my mother with some logistics today.
