Got off the plane after CPH ➡️ ARN. Walked into the Radisson Blu hotel in SkyCity. Plunked down 200 SEK for access to their fitness center. Got a run in. Because...

Pork confit (from the farm of Rocklunda) with cabbage, beer braised onions & roasted garlic.

Red wine braised cheeks of ox.

Sure, like I'd go to Sweden and NOT get meatballs.

One final, quick and short run to (and through) Stockholm City Hall and back. Thanks for some great scenic runs, Stockholm!

I do loves me some changing of the guard.

Last night's dinner, clockwise from top left: Blommande bläckfisk (flowering squid); Ingefärsdoftande tofu (ginger-scented tofu); Lyckobringande räkbollar (shrimp ball); Kyckling i röd olja (chicken in red oil).

Good morning from Stockholm! 8:46 pace, last 4+ miles at 8:30ish has me feeling good today.

First real run since #TCSNYCMarathon and it showed in my time but the first step back into training is always the hardest.

Kicked off training for the London Marathon with an easy 5-miler across a few bridges in Stockholm. Shout out to @nicambro for being the first to donate and help get me on my way to London! Wanna help while donating to an excellent cause?

Brunch, plate three. Or is it, I eat a lot so I run a lot? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brunch, plate two. I run a lot so I can eat a lot.

Brunch, plate one. The next three posts are the reason why I run so much.

One last gift from the kitchen - fried dough stuffed with fruit filling so, yeah, a doughnut. And a delicious one at that.

From the fire autumn lamb.

Juniper baked turbot, new potatoes and mushroom.

Hay-flamed sweetbread, cabbage and sorrel.
