Howdie runners!
for me I am totally out of it. I would have loved to give you some great updates and chat about how it all was feeling but my body feels like a 100 year old elephant. I need to sleep and eat properly. Then get going again.
But for all you other superstars here comes week 8 of Dosfamily running Club!

Warm up before all workouts:
Copy week 6 or choose a favorite.

Stretch after every workout:
Choose favorite moves from early weeks. Keep in mind that calves, hip flexor, front thighs, rear thighs, outer thighs and buttocks are important to stretch after every running workout.

3 sessions / week

Day 1: Hit the distance – Keep on jogging
Start with 5 mins slow jogging.
Then continue with 20 mins jogging/running
Jog (walk if you must) for 3-5 mins.
Jog/run for 20 mins.
Walk for 5 mins or more.

TIPS: If you want to have something to compare to further on measure the distance and exercise. Use a telephone app, watch, gps or pick a path you know the distance.

Day 2: Feel the distance
Start with 5 mins slow jogging.
Then continue with 15 mins jogging/running
Jog (walk if you must) for 3 mins.
Jog/run for 15 mins.
Jog (walk if you must) for 3 mins.
Jog/run for 15 mins.
Walk for 5 mins or more.

Day 3: Now its time to jog or run a little bit longer
If you feel fresh and strong I would like you to try keep on jogging och running for 8k OR for 50-60mins in a row. If 8k is too long don’t worry! You can continue the workout in a low tempo. Have 8k in mind and try. If its too hard slow down and walk for some minutes and start jogging or running again but continue until you have reached 8k or 50-60mins. Don’t care about the tempo, instead focus on length OR time, still you gonna get a really good workout

Good luck!

Thanks to Kvitter Javelin for this great program!

What’s in her bag a quick hello update

By on May 4, 2013 in Dos Family, Isabelle

I asked you yesterday what was in my bag?

The thing is – I was out driving our car when my husband texted me asking if I had found a big bag with guns in the car? I thought he’d gone mental. But I quick texted him back telling him the cops just pulled me over…
Not true But my husbands work - they had borrowed the car for his TV show shooting some scenes and forgot the bag. With the guns. What a great bag to misplace…

Even though I know they are decoys – or only soft air guns. I think it’s so scary. Like when I read this totally crazy and devastatingly sad story. I mean come one – guns marketed especially for kids?? My first rifle? So terrible. As an outsider I found this article from English newpaper The Guardian very interesting and also so sad and angry.

But also it made me think about what people are carrying in their bags that we simply don’t know about?
I don’t mean this in a oh we should be so scared of each other kind of way but more in a we can’t judge a book from it’s cover kind of way.

Yesterday I walked around the hood with a bag full of guns another time I sat on the subway with a bag full of cash.
Lot of times on the tube or the bus I think like that. That I’d love to put on my x-ray vision and look into people around me. What do they have in their bags? Who beats his wife? Who looks scary but is super kind and a great friend? Who is secretly in love with their boss while expecting a child with someone else? Good and bad. Statistics made real inside a train carriage. So compact and so real in a way.
Life in miniature.

Life At Jenny´s House and in her garden

By on May 3, 2013 in Dos Family, Jenny

Finally it is garden time! The weather has been amazing here and I have been in my garden as much as possible.

1. Rhubarb! you are one great plant. Big and full and no care needed.
2. Got some dirt in my eye. The downside of gardening.
3. Planting stuff.
4. Bunny.
5. This is also a part of the garden.

Do you have a garden? If so: have you started your outdoor life yet?
