It was an amazing experience… more like a “meditation” that keeps unfolding well after you cross the finish line. Thank you for sharing the incredible visuals. What an amazing place to ironically race through.

So l hope you retain in your heart the powerful feeling you gained on your journey Bless you

What a great video! I want to convey how important it is to enjoy life, our amazing earth and all it has to offer. I am an introvert, who loves living a quiet life, though last night, I got quite the scare, after driving myself to the emergency room at our hospital for what I thought was heat exhaustion, I ended up hearing I had a cardiac issue and will need further testing as they found an abnormality. I am a 61 yr old mom of a 21 yr old daughter, I am super active, was a runner up until a year ago when an injury sidelined me, but seeing your video on this race, will keep me motivated and working harder to stay healthy so I can maybe not run a race like this, but to walk and (jog) the route. A beautiful location that certainly was, so keep enjoying your life as time does fly. Thank you for a nice video, I think after 8 hours in an emergency room, I needed to see this.

I'm envious of your energy, Kalle. Speaking of the 'spiritual' aspect of running, especially in nature, you may enjoy reading/watching about the Marathon Monks of Mount Hiei in Japan. I used to live there and was fascinated by their endurance and will. Running in nature is part of our deepest human instinct, a connection to what makes us 'naturally human'. Thank you for sharing, it was good medicine for the primal aspects of my brain. :)

For us it's also like that, we spend a lot of time in front of the computer and I feel like sometimes it really messes with our brains. But a day out in nature brings down all the stress levels and we're so happy that we have the Swedish nature right in front of our doorstep.🥰 Can't wait for your next video.

Currently I am revisiting the world of Douglas Adams in his fantastic ”trilogy” starting with 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'. It is a one-of-a-kind trilogy consisting of five books, the only one in existance I believe. It is a wonderfully silly, insane and hilarious story which always makes me take myself and the world less serious. I have read it multiple times whenever I need that feeling of relaxed silliness a'la Monty Python, but I also always find some "new" ingenious twist I haven't understood in previous read throughs. I am sad that Douglas Adams left this world far too early. The world needs his kind kind of humor right now, and he surely would have described current happenings with phrases like "it's not cricket", but also repeated the single most logical phrase in the entire galaxy; "Don't Panic".

God made things so beautiful. How can people not see God is love and wisdom and His glory is all over His creation? It's man made things and the evil man kind chooses to do that kills destroys and ruins everything. I encountered Jesus just over 5 years ago and I too now have a simple life and enjoy the beauty of nature/creation. I hate manmade stuff - it literally makes you sick but the stuff the Lord made just WOW it is mind-blowing and healing and I'm just in awe of the LORD and His marvellous works.
