I’ve often wondered if it’s fair on men to have special Ladies Runs. This inspired me to create this poster for a Gentlemen Run!
Run for your life, and because the kids are coming
It's the ultimate form of comfort tv: 'The Little House on the Prairie'. In the small town of Walnut Grove life is tough, but rewarding.
Every episode starts and ends with Laura Ingalls running through the prairie. But Laura does a whole lot of running in this series… [more]
When running skirts first made their appearance, they caused quite a stir.
In the world of parenting there are lots of subjects you have to pussyfoot your way around, or feelings get hurt and tempers rise. Who would have thought the world of running would have simila… [more]
It has happened to me more than once: there I'll be, arriving at a restaurant looking for a nice cup of coffee after a 10 miler. And the owner will look me up and down and say: 'Hello, out for a nice WALK?'
That is nót what a girl who has just conquered 10 miles likes… [more]
I've said it before, but I just love running skirts. I think they're the greatest thing since the invention of sliced bread and Big Macs.
So whenever there's a new brand out, I can't wait to try it. This week I got the opportunity to try a new Dutch running skirt of … [more]
Running a marathon is quite a feat. After all, it's a big distance!
And usually that shows! Participants of marathons usually look a bit worse for wear when they cross that longed for finish line. They often look sweaty and red faced. But not so opera singer Katherin… [more]
Am I an afternoon/evening runner trapped in the mind of a morning runner?
I always run in the early morning, because I don't trust myself to go later on in the day. Besides, I suppose I want to get running out of the way, so I can check it off my to-do-list. Even tho… [more]
It's one of those questions you ask yourself as a runner, besides the obvious one of 'Can I stop running yet?': 'Where do I keep my house key?' Because when you get home from a run, all hot and bothered, you don't want to find yourself locked out of your home.

I've been enjoying all the post about preparing for the Boston Marathon, even though I never participate in any races myself.
But I love the comradery between the bloggers/runners, telling each other they're doing well and to believe in themselves. So I knew the prep… [more]
This morning it was finally warm enough to wear my little red running skirt to do the school run. I asked my son Ot (12) to take a picture of this happy moment.
'I would wear some tights too mom,' he advised me.
'Why?' I wanted to know, and I felt a shiver of trep… [more]
Always on the lookout for running outfits that don't scream 'Look at me, I'm a runner!' I bought myself a pair of breathable/quick dry sports pants at H&M.
I even forked out 35 USD which is a lot more than I usually pay for any running clothes. But I'd been eyein… [more]
Wordless Wednesday (well almost!)
I've been reading about the benefits of yoga for runners, and after trying several kinds I've signed up for 10 yoga lessons. My love for yoga is still fragile, but I already love the tea afterwards!

The lone distance runner choses to go it alone, but as a blogger I prefer some company. But lately I've been wondering: 'Does the comment button even work?!' Getting a comment seems to become even more rare than me going faster than a 5k per hour…
So I'm just check… [more]
In my life as a mom I usually wear a jersey skirt with an elastic waist band, and a pair of Uggs.
But when I go out for my run, I'm decked out in skintight spandex tights, or even a short little running skirt. My husband gets all frisky when he sees me in my running… [more]
