My first run in 2023

Taking a run in Marum Skogen on a sunny winter day

Taking My First Run through Marum Skogen, Sandefjord on a Sunny Winter Day February 12th of 2023. Marum Skogen is a nature reserve located in Sandefjord, Norway, and it is known for its stunning summer and winter scenery. Today on a sunny winter day, the snow-covered trees and small hills created a picturesque contrast against the bright blue sky, making it the perfect place to go for a run.

Winter days in Sandefjord can be cold and gloomy, but not today! The sun was shining brightly, making the snow glisten and the air crisp and invigorating. In the end, I decided to take advantage of the pleasant weather for my first run following work, while exploring and enjoying Marum Skogen at the same time. I’ve been meaning to run through Marum Skogen for a while now, and I’m so glad I finally got the chance. The forest was even more stunning than I expected, with its snow-covered trees and sparkling streams. I could hear the crunch of snow under my feet as I ran, and the only other sounds were the chirping of birds and the occasional rustle of leaves.

The warmth of my muscles and the ease of my breathing increased as I progressed deeper into the forest. I was surrounded by peaceful stillness, and it was an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. I ran for about an hour, taking in all the sights and sounds around me. I even saw a few horses eating outside along the way, which was a real treat!

I came across a small clearing in the forest at one point on the trip. I decided to stop and take a few pictures in that clearing to catch my breath. The sun was shining down on me, and I felt so grateful for this moment of peace and serenity. I stood there for a few minutes, taking in the beauty of the forest and feeling the warmth of the sun on my face.

My run through Marum Skogen continued after my break. I couldn’t believe how much energy I had and how happy I felt. I’m sure it was due to the fresh air, the scenic scenery, and the peaceful atmosphere.

On a sunny day, how do you like to spend your time?
