Running I like the idea of this blog - and it's even better that you have photos! When I saw your list of songs, the first one that came to my head was Run on by Moby, but then did a quick search of my ipod and found a few more...Run for cover - Basement Jaxx; Run to me - Bee Gees; Running with the night – Lionel Richie... Thanks for the fun blog :)
Thanks Thanks for the comment and even more thanks that you gave us a few more songs. Eventually there will be a third runners blog and we will include those then. /Ake
A hidden gem! Well I have been to Stockholm many times..when my son was living there and visiting friends but never thought about going to see the stadium. So next time it’s on my list ! Thanks for the info .
Stockholm Olympic Stadium And the winner is...One of your best blogs ever. What a fascinating read and sight. Many significant details and events...thanks Sweden. Surprised the pic of you running Ake does not have a crowd standing and cheering...i.e. the 10km race. If not guess that can be a work in progress. Do you have a pic with a crowd there and Emma running such as at the Stockholm Marathon? That would be worth seeing and could be added as an edit to this blog!
Thank you I am glad to hear that you enjoyed reading it. We don't have any photos worth publishing of the few races we have run in the Stadium.
I was hoping to get my hands on a picture from one of the concerts that have been there. But so far I haven't managed. If I do I will post it. Now that I think of I might have an almost 30 year old picture lying around in a box somewhere in the basement. I took it when I went to a Bruce Springsteen concert in the late 80-ies. I might add that if the staff at the Stadium can't help me with the aerial photo I hope to be able to add. /Ake
Yes, we are lucky to be able to go there and run It really is a very cool stadium. That's why we wrote this blog entry. Btw we have not only run in the Stadium. We have both also competed there. Emma has finished Stockholm Marathon there and I have both run a 10 km race, which had its start and finish in the Stadium, and I have twice run 800 meter races in Stockholm Olympic Stadium. /Ake
Really Impressive Goal Thank you for sharing your passion with us. What a fantastic blog! Love your creativity and love of the sport. Love the addition of the song info. Great stuff! MJ
Awesome! This is great guys, a blog dedicate to a love of running. I love running too and try to run as much as I can everywhere I go. I love your passion for this and love this blog, and I love middle-aged Swedes...
I will now settle and listen to "Run" by Snow Patrol and "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" by Iron Maiden - great songs. Keep on running you two. Dave
Running around the World II Brilliant...Brilliant...Brilliant. Great idea, great photos, looking healthy, looking great...inspirational. You guys are the Running Swedes...how cool is that!!! I am a tad envious as healthy is a virtue. I'm trying to think of a Blues song about running...heaps on Walking. Maybe I could speed them up!
I would happily accept a blues son about running If you can think of a blues song about running don't hesitate to tell us about it. Thanks for the comment. It feels good to hear that people like what we produce/ Ake
Thanks Thank you. So you took the time to look at our old photos as well. Thanks for that. Now that you say it, it looks pretty good with the red in the gray.../Ake
We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden.
We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them.
Some of the things from our travel bucket list we have ticked off since we started this blog in 2006 are
