    Today Meg and I hoped on a plane back to Stockholm Sweden to catch up with our old friends from when we used to live out there pre-covid. Our holiday just happened to fall on the same weekend of the annual Winterrun 5k and 10k races around Skansen, the largest open air museum in Europe. The freezing temperatures made for a challenging course with the main aim for the majority of the course was staying upright. Was great fun nonetheless.

    The bag you got is from Silva, an old Swedish brand that invented the modern compass.

    Wow Ben! Looks like quite an adventure. I also know running in the dark is a LOT more challenging than day time. It is hard to gauge your pace and the footing is always iffy. I think I am more jealous of your food though! That definitely looked delicious! Enjoyed the race recap and the travelogue. I always tune into your channel for motivation to train and run hard.
