Views from a morning run in Rome

Check out some views of sunny Rome from one of my morning runs. I set out from Piazza Trilussa in the Trastevere neighbourhood, running along the banks of the Tevere, passing the Circo Massimo, and circling around the Colosseum. I made a pit stop at the Giardina degli Aranci on Aventinus hill to take in the magnificent views before returning to my starting point. All in all, it was a fantastic run, made even better by the extraordinary nice weather for late December.

Sinne ja takaisin – sähköautollakin pääsee

Matkasuunnitelmani piti ja itse matka Lapin Juoksenkiin onnistui kaikin puolin. Sähköauto edustaa nykyaikaa ja Konalla ajaminen oli minulle kuin kurkistus tulevaisuuteen. Lue lisää Swim the Arctic Circle -kisastani ja miten sähköauto rullaa Suomen teillä.


Kokemuksia ja matkasuunnitelma – Kona electric

1700 kilometriä sähköautolla 60 tunnissa. Siinä lopputulos, jos kaikki menee suunnitelmani mukaan. Lähtökohta on seuraava. Osallistun uintikisaan Juoksengissa, jonne on matkaa kotoani Helsingistä reilu 840 km. Auto on Hyundain Kona EV, jonka olen saanut Hyundailta käyttööni reissua varten.

When you are alone for days or weeks at a time, you eventually become drawn to people. Talking to randos is the norm. I’ll never forget the conversation with the aquarium fisherman, forest ranger, and women at the Thai market. It’s refreshing to compare notes on life with people from vastly different backgrounds.
