"I'm sorry. I'm really busy."

I heard that lots on my mission.
It was a busy week for me.

View from Ramberget

Mowed a neighbors lawn, cut the grass in the neighborhood entrance, painting, been to a "goodbye party", church, delivered newspapers two nights in a row and running up for a hill, see picture.

I will start writing about the unofficial club championship in hill running.
2,1 km up to the top of Ramberget. The athletics at Fest i nord were the last thing I did before this race, so I wasn't as prepared as I am for Göteborgsvarvet.
I held my normal tempo. Slightly over 4:30 min/km. I came on 19th place of 24 male runners.
9:38. I have a time to beat next year. All the results this year will be beaten next year. This year will be a start up for the coming years.
Here is a video from the race.
I think I am the second behind the one in yellow. You can see my finish from 9:10.

 

 I delivered newspapers the night to Friday and Saturday. I find it hard to sleep before. Maybe I worry about bad weather, sleeping in or other problems that can occur. I felt like a zombie this Friday. The rain that fell mostly the whole day didn't make the day better.

Now these days are over and the delivery job as well. No more night jobs for a long time.

I drove the company car. The steering wheel is on the right side, so you don't have to drive on the wrong side of the road to drop off newspapers. First time I have driven a right hand drive in Sweden.

The week ended with church. The day to charge the spiritual batteries.

I was asked to say the closing prayer in all the three blocks. Elders quorum, Sunday school and the sacrament meeting. Just see it as extra blessings.  :p

My England trip is closing in. Two weeks from yesterday.

Take care my friends!

Stockholm

I was at the backside of Sweden last week. Stockholm, Västerhaninge and Nynäshamn.
I had a presentation about Lomma community and traveled up the same day with my parents.
We stayed at my sisters and husbands home and at the husbands parents home.
The main reason for the trip to Stockholm was for my brother and wifes move to Nynäshamn. We helped them move on Saturday.
We made a trip on Monday to Mariefred and visited Gripsholm castle and Taxinge castle.
The building on the picture did we visit on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is the Stockholm temple.
Wednesday was the day we traveled home.
It was nice to visit the east coast. To see my siblings that lives there and my uncle.
It was great to be in the temple as well. I haven't been there since last year.
London, Preston, Copenhagen and Stockholm temples are the ones I have been to.

I haven't done any running. I have done some work outs and stretching though.
I will run a club championship this coming Thursday. 1000m at Rambergsvallen.
So I have to run tomorrow. I haven't run on a running track for years. Last time was in Gotland when I ran 3000m. I'm looking forward to it.

I had my last test on Friday. Book keeping and accounting. It felt good and felt I will pass.
Sweden played against Moldova in the evening. 4-1. So it was a good Friday.

It is great to finish of the week with church meetings and to relax.

A new week tomorrow to look forward to.

Take care!

Week summary

My fourth time at Skatås and I have decided to post the member application sheet next time.
Sävedalens AIK was another club that I was little curious about, but they focus most on younger ones.

We were about 40 runners yesterday. When I started go there on Mondays they had only one group, but now they have two. One for beginners and one for the little more experienced runners. I was in the later group. Long intervals was on the schedule today.
We started with easy jogging with high knees, "butt kick" and the jumping Indian. We got to a T-junction where we did long intervals. 800 to 900 meters long track times 4. My average speed was 5min/Km, so I didn't give everything.

 The results from the test I did 3 weeks ago was published at Ladok. An internet service for University of Gothenburg where you can registry and see the results for tests and exams. It said I didn't pass.
I went the next day to the university for two lectures. I grabbed my test during a break and saw I actually passed. I talked about the different results and the lady in the office took a copy of my test and said it will be fixed.
I'm at least happy that I passed and can focus on the second half of the course.
The first half was about public policy and the other will be about public management. The first four lectures was about economics and the next six about organization and management. Interesting.

I wrote at the beginning that I was going to post the member application to Solvikingarna. I went to Skatås after the lectures on Thursday and gave it to them.

The whole Friday was spent in Göteborg. Lecture, group work, walking and Chill night at the Outreach centre. We played a music game which one of the young adults had prepared. I was from music questions to humming a song. It was fun.
Today I am home alone. Days goes fast when you go up around noon. Watched Russian ice hockey and Swedish floorball finals and Harry Potter.

Church tomorrow. Nice to finish of a week with that and also start a new.

The church is true, the Book is blue, Jesus loves you!

Cheerio!

From cold to a cold

I was sore in two days after the running.
It was a good weekend that started with Xbox gaming and fixing on a camper (husbil), which followed by eating "Semla" at the Institute Centre and socialize with other young single adults in the Göteborg area.

Saturday was a cleaning and relaxing day. The highlight was Luleå - Frölunda in the evening. The last round in the Swedish ice hockey league. I bought the game and watched it on the computer. The quality of the stream was very good and went very smoothly. 1-0 to Frölunda Indians that missed the play off, but avoided relegation qualification.

It was church meetings on Sunday as usual. Two lessons, elders quorum and Sunday school.
The sacrament meeting was a testimony meeting. There were more gaps then the last two.
My oldest brother came in the evening with his family. We ate lasagne together.
I got a cold during Sunday. My throat was sore and my nose was like a broken tap. I didn't get any fever, luckily.

I was going to run with the running club, that I'm planning to join this month, today, but I have stayed inside the whole day because of the cold. I will do that on Saturday instead.
C-vitamin and garlic have been consumed.
