    Reminds me of the Volksmarsch in Germany. Every weekend, seemed like, there would be someplace you could go to do it - although in five years of living there, I didn't go on one (unless wearing web gear and walking about in the training areas count....)

    What’s wrong with 8 for 8, or keeping ones nose to the grindstone!

    My Scandinavian ancestry likes the sound of Friluftsliv!

    The word that is. I'm already practicing the concepts. I'm more likely to be running or walking during lunch. It is a great way to re-energize during busy days and I'm lucky that my office has a locker room with showers. Some of my co-workers scoff and insinuate that I am wasting time while at work, but they're typical overweight, depressed, and out of shape.

    So many different facettes of life, even in Sweden!

    We here in the place I'm living suffer from even more serious fallout fromTschernobyl than Sweden. Cancer cases count is shooting through the roof.
    No one knows if you'r better off savouring the benefits of beeing outdoors, or suffering the danger of fallout exposition at the same time.
