Branding. Gococo 2012

(Photo: gococo.com)

Check this out friends, pink compression socks from Gococo. The best socks in the whole world now also exists in pink. Guess who is lucky? me. I own a handful of these coconut shelf made socks and love them so much that I can barely go training in any other socks anylonger. They are simply the best and I guess that the skisocks would have been much warmer than the Everest ones I had today at the office to not freeze to death.

Eats. Smoothie

In the absence of Starbucks my Starbucks cup is very useful. This morning I celebrated that it is Thursday by having a blueberry and raspberry smoothie. It might sound strange but when it is cold I love to eat icecream and frozen drinks.

Style. Hoodie day

I guess it is feezing record of the year in Stockholm today so I tried to do the best of this situation and get dressed in a lot of clothes. Because of that I got the brilliant idea to have an official hoodie day today wearing one of my favourite Abercrombie ones. I think we need an official hoodie day in our calender like a causual Friday or the suitup day - don't you?

Branding. The Nike Blast

Now it is cristal clear. After a lot of thinking of go or no go I have finally decided to not miss one of the top notch training event of the year, the Nike Blast that takes places in the Ericsson Globe arena in Stockholm this weekend. The two previous years I have been to the convention in Oslo and it have been unbeatable. Like the class in the attached video with Michael Jackson's former choreographer Tony Stone. Looks fun right? If I was nikiefied before I got more nikiefied after. 


Note to the coach: 90 minutes powerrunning to check fot status.

Eats. Nudle lunch

When I was a student I was not a nudle consumer. But this week I have turned to one. Not student, but nudle eater. Only a japanese nudle eater though. Mixed with some chicken, corn and my favourite broccoli I promisse it is delicious. But remember, it has to be japanese nudles.

Style. A perfect mess

One of my 100 hobbies is home styling and interior design. I love the simple, functional and white theme and in my rockstar crib every piece of furniture is selected by thought. Some IKEA stuff since I live in an IKEA country and some other things. It is just one area where I have a problem to find a working concept. The hallway. It is always a mess and looks like a rest dump every evening with luncboxes, training items, shoes, bags, phones, acessoares, mails and so on. What to do? all organization tips are warmly welcomed!

Thoughts. Social media 2012

After a funny combat class that I went for at my training free Tuesday I went for a powerwalk talk. I actually thought a bit about how the internet will change in 2012. First I think that the social media boom will last, but the number of bloggers will decrease in favour for twitter. Then I think that the Facebook introduction as a public traded company will force them to improve their service more rapidly, which the users are not ready for so the popularity will decrease a bit. So a fail for Facebook in 2012. Then I think that the photo sharing medium instagram will increase in popularity and Google+ will still be there but not a popular networking tool. Last but not least, I think Linkedin will have a good year since the unemployment rate will increase when the economy goes into recession and having a broader network becomes more and more important. That is what I think, what about you?

Note to the coach. 70 minutes Bodycombat.
 

Eats. Kegoatie

Now when it is supercold outside it is too cold for me to get fuel from keghurt, so I have created kegoatie. That is oatmeal topped with Keso, berries that are free of choice and some nuts and seeds for the extra finish. Right now I am getting hungry by just looking at the picture. 

Style.Best Tuesday wins

Todays start was much better than yesturday although it is Tuesday which is the day of the week I like the least. I thought it would be a bad hairday since I was not brushing my hair after the shower last night but straighten it all out was not a mission impossible. For twitter followers, a new round of the competition best Tuesday wins is on today! (#besttuesdaywins)

Thoughts. Happy ending!

Do I have to say I wish I was at the place on the picture? One day of cold and I am out of the game, dreaming of summer 24/7. The hot part of summer is nothing I have to dream about because it is kind of easy to fix also in polar cold Sweden. And that was exactly what I did after the first office day of the week. The destination was not Australia, but Sportlife in Stockholm. First out was a core class. Well needed so to say and I like core training. After that the real fun begun with the super pro instructor Jessica Clarén. She is the kind of trainer that differentiates the good ones from the great ones. 60 minutes of all in training to music to die for. All great from beginning to the end and it felt as hot as in Australia when the hour was over. So a happy ending of a day with that started like a nightmare.


Note to the coach: 30 minutes core and 60 minutes spinning.

Eats. Sallad day

I started the day with a sallad lunchbox today. Chicken sallad spiced up with jalapenos. Very yummi even at a cold winterday!

Style. Freezing cold

Today I had not the best start of the week so to say. First I forgot my badge at home and had to run up all stairs to get it. Then when I came to Arlanda Express, guess what? the SJ trains were moving but not the AE train. The third bad thing is the freezing cold unhuman condition. -13 degrees and merely survivable. I guess I am lucky having to spend the day inside an office building today!

Training. All in

The fashion weeks of 2012 edition will soon begin. In a few weeks the New York one will start and I fear that I will not qualify this year either. But I had a colourful outfit on todays runway. I know that pink is the colour to dress in and multiple layer outfit is the way to go. I followed the matching rule and of course I paired my green singlet with a green hairband in accordance with my do it all the way policy. So guess what I did after the run? did it all way and ended the training Sunday with a bodypump class held by one of the gladiators from the TV show, Gladiatorerna. 


Note to the coach: 60 minutes of Lesmills Bodypump 80.

Eats. Golden lunch

Since I am a wellknown breakfast junkie I just celebrated a 13,3 km run with digging some golden semolina pudding from my royal breakfast bowl. What a supernice running weather it was today. 0 degrees and 100% sunny in Stockholm. Sad to say, but my foot is not collaborating to 100% and I am very sad about that. It is getting better but not perfect and I really, really wanted to go for an aerobics class this afternoon but it will not be possible so a pumpclass will be my second physical activity today.

Note to the coach: 13,3 km running in 5:30-6 km/h speed around Södermalm.

Style. Lost & found

My pink ICA card was gone with the wind and was a millisecond from ordering a new one. I mean, who does not want to collect bonus like a retired and get the very interesting last issue of the magazine Buffé with Marathonmia to flip through. But guess what I just found the card at when I sorted out my japanese yen's that I will go to Forex and change back to euros. But first, it is time for a Sunday runday in supersunny Stockholm. It could be worse! What are your Sunday plans?
