Let me know if you also want swedish version.
We have five different traditional senses. Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. But we also have atleast five additional senses including pain, balance, joint motion & acceleration, temperature differences and direction. If we consider other internal senses which is normally stimulated from within the body we can add atleast six more!
When I close my eyes during running practice I have eliminated one of my major senses which I heavily rely on. What happends is that while running I am forced to rely on all my other senses not to run out of track or lose balance. The best part of running with closed eyes is that I train my other senses to communicate better with each other. Because of this I get a new perception of what running really is. How does motion, speed, acceleration, balance etc. really work inside my body? By removing once sense I can learn so much more about every other aspect of my body and what it really means to run effectivelly. All you health freaks out there, challange yourself! :)
Got nine hours of sleep tonight.
From bed I went straight out for a 45 minute walk followed by 20 minutes of intense running. The cold air really gets to my head. I'll have to start using a hat..
Breakfast:
Sesame milk with fresh fruits (orange, apples, fresh coconut, organic raisins)
Lunch/Dinner:
Mixed sallad (cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, carrots, sprouts, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, raisins, nori, garlic)
I've been taking alot of naps today :)

Day 2, awareness
Awareness is the key to unlock excellent training results. So you may wonder what there is that you should be aware of? Breathing of course! :) The holy spirit gives you enough life to sustain between every breath. This means that your quality of life heavily depends on your ability to take those deep breaths. That's why awareness is the key. Because when you are not aware your breathing is shallow. Test yourself!
When I stretch my muscles or doing workout I always focus on deep breathing. It is also very important that I have my attention focused towards the particular musce I am stretching or working out. And I always try to breath through my nose because it warms up and filters the air.

Breakfast:
Sesame milk with fresh fruits (orange, apple, kiwi & fresh coconut)
Lunch:
Mixed sallad (cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, baby spinach, lentil- and mungbean sprouts, iceberg lettuce, bell pepper and broccoli).
Dinner:
Mixed sallad (iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, green- and black olives, artichoke)
Went out for 20 minutes intense running in the afternoon. The air is really cold, escpecially since I breath through my nose!
Every time I eat I get a kick, and I like do do training after the meals to spread the nutrients. I drink 3-4 cups of herbal tea every day. I find it very relaxing and soothing. Had some of the cacao cake we did yesterday, wow I really like cacao :) After fika I took a cleansing lavendel bath for almost an hour. It is important to treat yourself good every single day!
Last night I also started taking different supplements. I will specify them later.

Day 1, vision and expression
--FOR ENGLISH VERSION PLEASE SCROLL DOWN--
Jag kommer att sakta men säkert att gå över till en diet som består av 80% frukt, 10% grönsaker och 10% nötter & frön. Även kallad 80/10/10. För tillfället äter jag ungefär 20/50/30. Förhoppningsvis kommer fruktdieten att passa mig som handen i handsken. Det gjorde det i alla fall för den här killen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7FRfaLtpo8
Jobbade till sena natten med vår affärsidé att skapa en rawfoodrestaurang med samlingspunk i centrala Falun. Fick i alla fall 4½ timmars sömn innan mötet med fastihetsägaren idag. Vi är intresserade av en lokal i Bergströmsgallerian som är idealisk för vår planerade verksamhet.
Vaknade kl. 9. Gick direkt ut och hälsade på solen. Skakade loss all träningsvärk och det tråkiga morgonhumöret.
Till frukost blev det sesammjölk med färsk frukt (äpple, kiwi, & apelsin).
Efter mötet tog vi, d.v.s. jag och Kenth, en promenad runt Tisken. Därefter blev det ett annat lunchmöte kl. 12 som bestod av en pastor och ett berg av blandade grönsaker (isbergssallad, gurka, tomat, haricots verts, blomkål, champinjoner, gröna oliver, selleri, majs, röd- och pujolök...toppade med solroskärnor och krossade linfrön).
Besökte blomsteraffären på eftermiddagen för extra syresättning. Det kommer nog att bli en vana när jag är i stan. Jag börjar bli mer och mer medveten om min andning och hur den påverkar mina energinivåer. Alla kanske inte tänker på det men livet består ju av en lång serie andetag, och utan dom är det slutet för kroppen. Inte konstigt att många religioner kallar det för 'den heliga anden'...
Promenerade ca 10 km idag. Mot kvällningen åt jag en riktigt stor bit av en kakaospäckad kladdkaka (dadlar, kakao, avokado, pumpakärnor, maca, agavesirap, honung) och fick otrolig energi. Fick helt enkelt lov att gå på ett ordentligt styrke-/flexibilitetspass :)
--ENGLISH--
I will slowly but surely switch to a diet consisting of 80% fruit, 10% vegetables and 10% nuts and seeds. Also known as 80/10/10. Currently, I eat about 20/50/30. Hopefully, the fruit diet will fit me like a glove. It did for this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7FRfaLtpo8
I woke up at 9 today. Went straight out and said hello to the sun, and shook out all the muscle soreness and the sad morning mood.
Breakfast:
Sesame milk with fresh fruits (kiwi, apple and orange)
Lunch:
Mixed sallad (iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, green beans, cauliflower, mushrooms, green olives, celery, corn, red onion and leek...topped with sunflower- and flax seeds).
Walked about 10 km today. In the evening I ate a big piece of a cocoa-rich cake (dates, cocoa, avocado, pumpkin seeds, maca,agavesirap, honey) and got incredible energy. I just had to go on a proper upper body workout combined with flexibility training.
I am starting to be more aware of my breathing which is great! Visited the flower shop today and it gave me a nice oxygen boost. I will make this a habit.
