A bit of time this morning to relax and cool down in the pond but things are busy as we're about to head off on our trip to Sweden for my son's wedding.I've updated my sidebar with Swedish weather as well as my Twitter feed and Running Ahead log so you can follow my updates if you're so inclined and have plenty of time on your hands. I can't wait to map my runs in a few more new countries. Do you think they'll let me run around the airport in London?? I can hear my wife screaming already...
The past week has been hellish since my nice long run with Andrew and Trevor. My dental surgery from 2 weeks ago came back to haunt me as my jaw got infected and the whole side of my face puffed up like I had the mumps or something. This all started on Tuesday and put an end to my running for the week as I pumped the antibiotics and tried to rest and heal. Thankfully the swelling has receded and I'm clear for the flight overseas today (not what I needed just now).
So very little running to report as my plan went off the rails for a few days but things are looking up for next week. We have a full week to meet and greet and get to know the other side of the new family and will be staying with Anna's parents who have a cottage on a lake. It sounds like heaven already, relax, visit, run, swim, drink Swedish beer and repeat!
See you on the other side!

That's funny about a possible airport run. Back in Steve Moneghetti's elite days he had a few hours between flights and they let him run around the grounds of the airport. Don't think it'd happen these days.
Enjoy the holiday - 22C sounds ideal for the odd run or two, and a few beers!
OK, that would be so fun to map my run in different countries. And here I was just excited about different states here in the US. I'm jealous of your pond. I want a pool so bad to jump into after runs... I'd take a pond any day!
Have a great holiday! Give my best regards to the bride and groom.
The dental surgery setback sounds like a hellish nightmare, but the cottage on a lake should more than make up for it.
Enjoy!
Enjoy Sweden and the beer, hope you can sneak in a run or two!
congratulations on the wedding, have a great time.
Don't get discouraged--things will turn around. You are an inspiration to us slightly younger runners.
