I was born late 1972. In 2014 I turned 42. Everyone knows 42 is the answer and I was expecting greatness from the year to come. Usually, I must admit, I tend to sit and wait for things to happen. But not this time. This time I was getting up and DOING it.
Not for a second did I think it was a coincident that I wanted to run 42K.
A marathon.

Only I never ran before.
Actually, before June 2014 I never ran for anything less than a bus or train. This blog is about that year I began to run but also the year that led up to it – and everything that followed. Believe it; if I can run, you can run. However I wouldn’t believed anyone saying that to me. I have to do it myself.
You’ll see.
This is about 42 years and 42 kilometers, and one or two things in between and after!
I found hard rock and metal when I was 10 years old and it’s taken a big share of my life so far. I listen to music and audiobooks when I run. I listen to podcasts when I travel and in my car. I also spend a huge part of my time awake thinking of what John Sykes might do, as he’s missed in action since 2009 with a breather in 2014.
I bake a lot and turning vegan from being a vegetarian for 15 years sent me back to scratch. I have learned a lot… You’ll see. Plant power is da shit.
Oh, and I read a lot of ultra marathon pornography 🙂 I’ll add them to the book section.
Hi there! a lot in common, I’m a bit older (mid 40’s), also turned vegan after nearly 15 yrs af vegetarian. Like rock and metal too (although more prog rock/metal).
No running nor marathons here though 😉

I like metal and some prog too 🙂 Actually I like a lot of different kind of hard rock, but I tend to listen more to melodic nowdays! I am looking forward to explore your blog!!

We’ve seen Opeth live several times! My husband’s favourite band! We bumped into Mikael Akerfeldt one time in Brussels before a show, and got a pic with him. 🙂
