Dear visitor, welcome to my blog about running, gadgets, fun stuff, etc. I am a fun-runner, who is more focused on running/cycling/hiking at beautiful landscapes with a good company, than beating my PB for a given distance. I created this blog to post about stuff that I am often asked about, so that I can just send the link and run instead 😂 Posts are few and far between, and usually long. If this is your cup of tea, then enjoy the content.
