Just came back after running 10 k in a slight rain which made it feel even better to run;=)
I am so proud of myself that I run 10 k and still feel I could run longer. When I was younger I always skipped class every single time we had to run and hated running. But somewhere inside me I always dreamed of running as easily as those runners I saw in the forest. With a slight happy smile on their faces, a light step when they passed me and with a determination to run longer and longer, day by day...
Now I feel I am one of them, finally. And I am so happy I have started to run outside instead of on the tread mill cause its so fun and I never feel the thing I can do on the tread mill, that is: oh, 5 k´s to go...4 k´s to go...and so on.
Running outside is so much more giving and today I passed two happy drinking men in a tunnel who cheered me on with their: faster, faster!
And I also passed two lady friends of mine who stood by the coffee shop and they both cheered me by saying: Wow, you go girl! You look super!
Both times I said hi and gave them the V-sign;=)
VICTORY! I am getting stronger;=)

hi Anett
ReplyDeleteEver dream the wonderful .. have a very nice voice ... and NW is for me now really better and more dynamic .. Tarja is a great vocalist, and still listen to her advice but in my opinion it is now about the band and not one person .. NW is now truly a team ... and I love the song does not have a floating bug ;-)
much looking forward to the new album, I wish a nice rest of the day

I hate running. A lot, mostly because I have a bad knee. But, then again, there are times where I'm the one yelling and encouraging people to go a few more laps around the track.
ReplyDeleteI'm so odd.
Victory for you! :D
Hej Anette!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know the feeling. When I just did my walks and yet didn't jog or run, I always watched the ones who jogged/ran pass me, wondering how on earth are they able to jog so long distances. And now years later, I'm one of them :) I still don't run long distances but I do run and I love it.
We all should be proud of ourselves, go runners go! :)
Have a great day!
that's great...which reminds me, I have to run! I always wanted to run through the forest or something, but I'm not really good at long distance runs.
ReplyDeleteV!
You look very young.
ReplyDeleteHi Anette,
ReplyDeletehow long it takes to run 10 km? But are they round trip?

ReplyDeletebtw I hate running and any sports...

ReplyDeleteI start running tomorrow.. like you I skipped it at school but I just bought some new running shoes and tomorrow I have time to myself so off I go.
Keep your fingers crossed it does not rain for me.

ReplyDeleteOnce I thinked that I could join to some team,that may be the times when I started bicycling and running little too much.But well,that went pass cause on my own thing was enoughly too.
Ok,sunny day and some things to do so good day continue
I hate running in school, otherwise it's nice:)
ReplyDeleteI chose the tempo myself and place where I want to run.. and it's not on time (I don't count like in my school do) :D
Have a nice day,
and many more runnings ;)

You're such an inspiration. You and your story and success with running is what made me feel that I could do it too. I've been training for a few weeks now and can run a mile cross country without stopping, something I could never, ever do when I was in school.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much <3
You should see Forrest Gump :D
ReplyDeleteWhen I think in running, I always think in him!!
Its a nice film, sure you have seen it few times!
Btw, Congratulations!!
Wow, Ten Kilometers!!! I wish I could run. I'm too lazy to get up early in the morning to run, but I think I'll start; your story inspires me! I live right by the beach so I could run there....:)
ReplyDeleteTake care
:) this is just SO cool. You always make me smile with this kind of stories!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Nettan! Congratulations for your achievement and keep it better and better! I'm looking forward to run like this, but I run only 2 k on the treadmill yet. :p
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, thanks for sharing Ever Dream demo, it's a proof that you were really made for Nightwish! :D
Yay!!
ReplyDeleteNettie You Look So Much Healty, Did You Still Feel Pain In Your Ribs?
I Want to go running, but here where i live, there's no place where u can do it u.u,
Hep Hep For That!! \/
take care!!
So, if you allow, I say: You go girl! :D
ReplyDeleteAnette You are at your most beautiful when you are like this! Your like a big strong beaming sunflower, bright & radiant :D

Hi Anette,
ReplyDeleteSo inspiring :) I have always really wanted to run, but I am afraid I'll look silly doing it at first, not knowing the right techniques. Maybe one day I will give it a try and see how far I make it :) Great job for you with the 10k, I think you'll have even more energy on stage with Nightwish now! <3
Yes! Glad you are embracing outdoor running, so much better than a "dreadmill". :)
ReplyDeleteYesterday I managed about a 9k I think, had to cut the run short because I was running on a mtn trail when a lightning and thunderstorm hit! Got rained on as well, was soaked by the time I made it back to my car. Crazy weather in Colorado summer. :)
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteMy dear Anette!!! Hello again!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteOh my God, I haven't written a comment here since FEBRUARY!!! I started new classes and subjects in college and I was so busy with my homework and studies. Anyway, now I'm more free and I wanted to say hello :)
Still, I've been reading all your post through these months to know how you've been. I'm so happy to write again and I'm gonna try to be a usual commentator again.
How's your summer going so far, by the way?
Lots of hugs and love from Madrid, read you soon dear ^^

Hello Anette !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy for you,it's amazing to know that you hated running but now you accomplished your dream to become a great runner :D
You also gave me some inspiration to run,i don't hate running but i got tired after like 5 minutes running because i started really fast and i got tired easily,but i started to have my own rhythm and it feels great because now i can run without problems :)
This is another reason why you are an idol to me,you are such a strong lady !
You look great on the pic ;D Your friends are right,you look super !
I also listened your demo for Nightwish and i must say AMAZING ! It was very good,when you also did Marco's singing part i just thought that it was genius ! Thank you so much for uploading :DDD
