Early morning, looking out and it is all whiteout. My brain starts thinking. What will the plan be for today? Wait for the sun to warm up and pharheps the fog will dissapear? I got good knowledge of the terrain, and I have Control The descision will be to start descending..The thin is that it is good to test your knowledge for developing. As long as you not doing any risky thing it will develop you…

Fog means attention…use your knowledge.

The most important thing conected to fog  will be a good knowledge of navigation. Here followsa a good intruduktion or a repetion for you who already got the knowledge..

Spring time, this means more light and warm winds. Now it is easy to train, it follows the plans. Soon i will breath the mountain air again. The mountains are Calling:-).

I been thinking of the fact of what a good mountaineerer is. I think it is a skilled mountain person that now his/hers limits, related to the conditions. A person who understands when the limits can be moved without risking the safety.  A person who always try to develop her/him self.

The training goes on, and it feels good. Today I have my rest day. It feels a bit strange, not exercise. A sign that it perfect to rest:-). Now it will be hill training in the weekend…

And it is also important to enjoy life, and the calm after a good workout. And what can be better than a good cup of coffee..

Don’t forgot to enjoy life….

Music this time will be a oldie goldie..

See ya at sunday:-)

A tough training week, 10 workouts and 10 hours..I ended the week with a running workout. Felt a bit tired. I have changed a lot of the training, so this is a sign that the body has started to adapt. At the gym, I have get back to do the exercise slow and correct. I also put strength in the running. So a good sign is the sore muscles.

Chin training at home a great addition..

To be a good mountaineerer, you Always need to challenge your self. Both menthally and physically.

For develop your self, you must challenge your self. Your training methods, your routes in the mountains. Probably most of all… your thoughts…and way of thinking..

I was Reading a book from 1953, and the thing is that there are two thing that comes to my mind. 1. They were really good in describing things at that time. 2. They really got good knowledge of the equipment and the mountain Environment. And it is easy to get impressed over there exploits.
