I have quit smoking - time co celebrate :)

Exactly 10 years ago, on the 21st of August 2016, on vacation somewhere in the woods of the beautiful Swedish island Öland, I decided to leave cigarettes behind me once and for all (best decision ever).

After two months of of recovery for my lungs, I started running. And I have been running since then, five times a week in the early morning - through the forest and along the shore of Lake Constance. During summer, I also have a break in between and jump into the lake for a short swim. I love doing that and I am so lucky that it is just possible since then (before, I would get short of breath at the slightest physical exertion).

I just wanted to write this down to remind me (and hopefully others, too) that not everything got worse during the last decade... What has improved in your lives?
