Cold start

With the tourists dressed more for the icy moons of Neptune than for Northern Sweden, the new year brought Arctic winds cold enough to still make me envious of their gear. After skiing eight kilometres around Luossavaara at dawn with Anna, I thus escaped indoors to Gymmet for a first treadmill run of the new year. Still firm in the belief that 10k a day keeps the doctor away, I will try my best to run 3,660 km this year. With three ultra races over the next two months, I will need to take plenty of rest in between so, by necessity, my training will be more polarized than last year, something which I think will only be for the better.
