  Yesterday was my recycling day, i try to be as environmental friendly as I can be and I know how important that is. One thing i have started to do is I clean all my glass jars before recycling them. Another thing I do is I no longer use plastic bags for my trash, I use another type of bags made of some kind of sugar waste that degrades naturally and in a short time become water, or something that is natural and can be used in the soil. However most of my trash isn't recyclable so it goes to the furnace and become hot water that heats the apartments and houses here in my city.
  
  I try to give myself various tasks to fill my day, so when the evening comes I know my day hasn't been wasted, no rather been used for useful, if minor, tasks that needed to be done.
  Today I have besides been down to the library and talked to my former workmates there, took a long walk of +12k steps.
  
  Life is filled with surprises, some good and som bad but they are all a part of your life so be happy for your good surprises and use them to fill the bad ones so they don't get so damaging.
  
  Gratitude
  
  Grateful for my life and the surprises it has given me so far, some of the bad ones has in the end actually been good for me.

  It's been more or less a blizzard today, heavy snowing with short breaks where the sun has breathed through. So I debated with myself if I should break my runstreak and not run today. But around 2 pm the sun shines through I decided to go for a run. So I did and it wasn't easy as the roads, the sidewalks weren't shoveled, but I was determined to at least run a shorter dustance. Fighting with myself I managed to run at least 2,3km.
  
  Gratitude
  
  Grateful for my determination that has pulled me through so many times.

  Gosh, today was a really humbling and hard day for me. I made my run, or rather I run/power walked the distance and my legs was hurting and my energies was in a new low. But I did my distance and that was a victory. And my meetup with a friend was canceled so I didn't have anything planned for the afternoon, which made me feel fidgety..... decided to cut my hair, and so I did.
  
  Gratitude
  Grateful for humbling experiences like today, makes me grow as a human being step by step.

  Well, guys, I can't believe it. Today I totally smashed my record from yesterday with almost a minute per kilometer! 5,47km in 25:22 that's 4:38/km!! I thank God for showing me that prayers surely help and tuning your mindset towards positive thinking as one the keys. Next goal is to crush the 10 kilometers distance too!
  I also went and picked up my new calendar, I bought a Sliceplanner that's a new an initiative take if the analog calendar. I have already planned my four first meetings and events using it and I feel that we can be great friends!
  
  Gratitude
  
  So grateful that I still can improve myself and do greater things, and I know that all my hard work will pay out for the longevity of my life!

  Today I reached my 41th marathon distance running since I started running in Juli 2014. When I started running I choose it because I hated running in school and I wanted to test myself to do so much more than just boxing and power walking. Little did I know I would start to love running so much. Today's distance was 5,2 km in 30:09 and it was only my stubbornness that made me pull through as my legs was heavier than ever before.
  
  Gratitude
  
  I'm grateful for My stubbornness that have helped me pull through so many times.
