Another new thing

One more Danish post. First here are more of the usual beautiful pictures.

The new thing was something I had heard about when lived there but I had been too intimidated to try it on my own. This time our host family said they were doing it and I was happy to join in.

From their description, "A white running T-shirt with a panting balding gentleman who is about to be passed by a few slender herring and the slogan "Take care of yourself - ran for their lives." It is characterized for members of Roskilde running club Running for Life, which has existed since 1992. Race for Life is behind the monthly jogging in the People's Park. There is a trophy in the club, which every six months transferred to the member who has improved his personal maturity most of the past season. In addition, the club organizes joint training sessions and participates in many jogging around Zealand - from five km.-relay races for marathon. The tradition offers to club members and their families gather after the race for burger buns with glazed ham and salad."

The organizers have created a 1.667 km loop that is undulating and on a variety of surfaces. There is no preregistration and the cost is 10 DKK ($1.50). People are invited to do any distance between 1.7 and 8 km and prizes are given at random. Now that I have done it once I wish I could do it again!

One more new thing was paying for A. to use the train since it was our first visit since he was over the age of eleven. Turns out he is the same price as taking a dog on the train!
