last word

during the about 14 months i've kept this blog up i have posted a lot of pictures taken during my runs. beautiful sunrises, misty mornings, sceneries of helsinki and sometimes of abroad, things you see only that time of the day. i have wanted to deliver some of the magic i get to experience every morning; the uniqueness that there is in the mornings, and the rush i get from running in it.

i have also, on several occasions, tried to put in words how important running is to me, and how much i enjoy it, and how i could not imagine ever giving it up. how it is no longer a hobby for me but something i consider a part of my personality - being a runner - and how it comes more like a reflex than a conscious effort. running is a default for me, and maybe i have been able to convey it, maybe not - but all that aside, maybe the picture below will be the final proof.

i mean really, running in this weather, in these absurd conditions and still managing to enjoy it - now that is dedication.

and it being the first day of the year i reckon that will be incredible in very many ways, well - it can only get better from here.
