Chillaxing in my Stockholm flat

I'm chillaxing in my apartment today, cleaning and organizing some things that have been neglected recently, listening to tunes and eliminating some munchables. I'm filing photos from my travels, ordering prints from KodakGallery.eu (a great service), arranging my desk and my desktop, and basically just taking care of the online and offline spring cleaning that my life needs right now.

I just finished and posted a few old blog posts that never actually made it out of draft status, including the Midnattsloppet and Hong Kong posts. I'll add some other pics and words later today.

The Midnattsloppet post is particularly relevant because I'm running again in next Sunday’s Vienna City Marathon. Not an entire marathon, because that's currently beyond me, but as part of a relay team. My leg is 9.1 kilometres and I've set myself the goal of finishing that in 50 minutes.

I've been ill for the past few days and unfortunately not training, but today I've made many trips up and down my five flights of stairs rather than taking the lift. And tomorrow morning, I'll run to and around Kungsholmen for a full 10K route and see what my time is for that.

The only other interesting thing to share now is the soundtrack for my day: I’m listening to Dr. Alan Cross' Ongoing History of New Music which The Edge is now streaming, and just enjoying it so much. It’s not quite the same as timing my drive home from Montreal so I hit Peterborough at 7PM so I can listen in earnest with a steaming Tim's in one hand, but it's still fine academic and musical whisperings for my lonely ear… Thanks, Alan!
