I can run.. Almost!

September 28, 2014 by pate Leave a Comment

I admire and envy people going out for jogs. It sounds really refreshing and also relaxing at the same time. Something about just taking a quick break from what you are normally doing and just go outside the door to focus on something else for a while is really appealing to me. Also I’d love to some day get that feeling where I “have ” to run.

Earlier this week I started with a personal trainer and one of the goals we set was that I should be able to complete a normal jog around the neighborhood. During our initial testing my trainer confirmed quickly that this goal should not be a problem as I was able to complete a 2 km run ( slow a
But steady ) already.

Today I did another attempt. As I missed the morning spinning class I gave the treadmill a spin to see how I was holding up. Started with 2km  and then 500 meters cool down and then back again for another kilometer. Might not sound much, but for me it feels like a great accomplishment.

I work a lot better undefeated preasure, so this time I’m setting a personal goal for my running. By the end of October, I should be doing atleast 3 km non stop jog at a normal speed.

My first Travel Bug

Yesterday I placed my first Travel Bug, a small metalobject used with Geocaching which can be tracked online. Within a few hours it was already on it’s way to another cache somewhere in Sweden. Will follow it’s progress and if successfully I will gladly place a few more.

An updated future

August 4, 2013 by pate Leave a Comment

Time has changed and so has this blog. Archives will be kept in the archives (I bet you can guess the URL). Why you might ask? Just a general cleanup. I think it’s easier to start fresh as a lot of the content was really outdated and would need a major rewrite to be true to the present. I rather keep those texts as a part of who I was and therefor choose just to store it at an alternative URL for future references.

Trip to Västerhällarna

July 7, 2013 by pate Leave a Comment

Today I took a walk – a long walk (atleast in my book). As a new picture taker (can’t call me photographer yet I think), the goal for the day was to learn a few more settings. I’ve been through the first steps of the tutorials found online and now eager to get started.

As I looked around online I found out I have a few trips available to me in my near proximity. Really close was this place called Västerhällarna – right here in my home town Järbo. So I set out with a charger battery and two bottles of water and off I went.

As a total I measured my trip close to 10 kilometers (9.9 km to be more exact) and it took me almost 3 hours to complete. Didn’t spend all the time walking as I fiddled with the camera quite a bit as well. As I arrived at the top I looked out and saw this big smoke coming out of the forest. Took some pictures of it and according to the local newspapers (GD / Arbetarbladet) I seem to have captured a forest fire in Åshammar. Luckily the newspaper reported that it’s now under control.

Overall it was a pleasant way to spend a few hours and I’m looking forward to my next “photo/walking trip”.

About Me

Hey all! Just a normal (kinda anyway) guy in Sweden with a newly found interest for photography. Combining it with some geocaching as well as that's a great way to discover new and interesting places to capture with my camera.
