First, I was invited byHelle to join their "super group" of women runners in the 24 hour run in Holte, Denmark from June 5th-6th. I got the confirmation today that I'm in. We are 6 women who have to divide up the 24 hours of running as strategically as we can between us. My dear friend Henriette is also on the team. Plus we are sponsored by Kaiser Sport (it is insane how excited I get about free technical running gear). I guess we're officially going for the win. I can't wait!
Then I received a letter at work saying I had received 25.000 kr. towards my research project from a foundation in Copenhagen. And not two minutes later, I opened my work mail and found a scanned letter saying I had received permanent authorisation to work as a physician in Denmark, and thus the rest of Europe. So YES! all done with those medical tests! I have already started receiving recruitment letters from small towns in Norway and Sweden desperate for doctors. Ahhh, dreaming is fun.
When I got home, I found this in the mail.
Oh, running socks from Piccola Pinecone and a good luck card for the Copenhagen Marathon. I got tears in my eyes. Not a lucky day, but a good day. Some people would buy a lottery ticket, but not me. I think about the people that made it good and marvel.
Remember to take time to stop and really smell the tulips.

Wow, what a fantastic day. Congratulations.
And I am so very happy to have you on the team in Holte.
Hugs Helle
I think it's karma (the good kind).
Woohoo! That is a good day!
What an awesome day! So much to celebrate and be happy about. Yea!
What a way to start the week. Congratulations! Could you post more about the 24 hour event?
So will you stay in Denmark? :)
Gosh, I loved Norway!
Now does he know how to REALLY smell the tulips or what? This is so cute. Was his nose just a little bit brown after?
congratulations for the funding and the official doctor status.
wow, that was fast. i only sent them friday afternoon. i'm sure you realize, they are not to be used in the marathon this week-end. never use any new gear in a race!
With all that good karma coming your way (not to mention good luck socks) I might have to change my bid in Piccola PineCone's competition to predict your time on sunday... if this good karma trend continues you'll have wings to carry you through the course :-)

Great start to the week. Hope it continues until Sunday!
Ewa: yeah we'll stay in Denmark at least for a few years because I'm doing a 3 year PhD and definitely want to finish it.
Piccola, as I indicated on your blog, those socks are the best (I am wearing them now) and I am going to take the big risk and wear them. They are much nicer than my other socks (except for the other pair you gave me :)).
I am looking forward to getting to know you at 24RUN :-)
With an ambition of Løbeklubben på Facebook (Facebook Running Club) having 3 teams this year, I have been looking forward to this run for almost a year.
Ending up with 5 teams and 3 solo runners it can't be anything but a fantastic weekend.
