There is ample evidence that being exposed to so-called blue light, especially at night can be harmful to your health and contribute to insomnia. The reason is that our gadgets, like laptops and tablets emit blue light that suppresses the production of melatonin in our bodies. Screen time at night therefor can attribute to a […]
Running in Barcelona
Back in Spain for the 3rd time this year – I feel truly blessed! This time we’re celebrating my parents’ wedding anniversary. Instead of a present, we decided to give them a family trip so we’re here with all of team. And while it’s lovely to spend so much time with family, a girl’s gotta […]
Hiking the Grand Canyon
One of my life long dreams came true: I finally visited the Grand Canyon. And though I was planning on a run, I decided it was just not practical: too many visitors and the path was just not wide enough to skirt around them all the time. So instead of making a nuisance of myself […]
Running in Jacksonville
On a work trip I spent a few nights in Jacksonville, Florida. I had hoped to schedule a run a the beach but unfortunately that did not happen. While i was there, there were thunderstorms every afternoon so it was hot and humid and I couldn’t go out for a run. So I had to […]
Foods That Help Me Sleep

Running in Seville
When my sister told me she wanted to celebrate her birthday in Seville (Sevilla) it didn’t take me long to decide that was an excellent idea! After visiting Granada, I’d heard that the Palace in Seville is close in beauty, and of course the people from Sevilla claim the it’s better than the Alhambra. So […]
Running in Granada
Have you ever been to Granada? It’s an old city in Andalusia, Spain. I’ve been there a couple of times and I love visiting the city center as well as the Alhambra. If you can manage it, try to be there the week before Easter Sunday, when Spanish people celebrate Semana Santa (Holy Week). The […]
It’s A Big World. I’m Running It.
A few days ago I saw this new running video. ASICS is starting a global advertising campaign, ‘It’s a big world. Go run it.’ The campaign wants to inspire people around the world to get up and explore running. No matter what the reason or the motivation, there are always roads to run and places […]
