During todays run (or maybe jog), I was wondering if I was running or jogging? What is the universal definition for each of these terms and where is the border between them? Can it be based on the pace maybe? and perhaps also in relation to your own pace only? If you run 10 km's as fast as you can = 40 min, then you can probabaly call it a jog when you use +50 min. Hmmm...

That means that I don't run any more. I only go jogging. My pace at the moment is most often around 5.30 min/km, but I can speed up over shorter distances if I really need to. Todays 13 km at Delsjön were very nice, in an easy jogging pace, in a light pre-autumn rain. Wonderful!

Yesterday, I made a comeback jog, after 10 days of abstinence due to a cold. 10 km's with Nellie in the baby-jogger (the actual name of the stroller), so that was definately jogging.

I also managed to get Oliver into running this summer. We ran together around the lake (10 km trail) and also a few times on the asphalt and in the forest tracks. He has some talent for it, but there are always other more fun things to do. I will not push him, only support him and make sure that he enjoys it. Nice to do these kind of things together.

What is happening in the safe haven of Sweden? It used to be rather safe & free from criminal elements. Feel SECURE in Sweden. That's the way my brain has been programmed during my childhood and even later. You should be able to trust people around you and not have to be over-protective. Relaxed at home, but on your guard when you travel abroad. That's not true anymore. I have to change my blue eyes and be much more careful nowadays. That's really ashame and boring development.

Since we moved here in May, there's been some guys destroying the electricity center outside our house, cutting off the power supply to the whole block. I managed to run out and chase them away in the middle of the night. When the police came they just confirmed that these kind of incidents are rather common. It felt to me, like the police force is rather demoralized and is just doing the admin work. Big yaaawn!

I also had someone stealing my MTB bike inside my garage, when I was at home. Now I have to lock the garage port all the time. Boring!

Last weekend, Jörgen had a break-in at his house during night-time while they where sleeping and yesterday David had a break-in into his car. So it's not a one off kind of thing. The frequency is to high to ignore it.

These kind of shit incidents really make me upset and angry.

It creates a suspious and unfriendly society. Why is it like this nowadays?? Some people say it's because we have opened the borders. Hmmm... that had to happen regardless and I don't think this is the basic reason.

There is suddenly some lack of respect in general for other people and other peoples belongings. Perhaps it's due to parents lack of time to teach their kids important life values and what's right & wrong. We are far to busy ... The ethics are going downhill in supersonic speed.

During our 2 years in Asia we had no incidents what so ever, even though we were warned about potential risks in Kuala Lumpur. We had several guards at our condo, so the risk was minimal around there. In Korea we felt very secure. Young people are tought to respect olders and others.
