#12 – Plank challenge

Today it was another 90 seconds in pain. Maybe the abs exercises at the gym before did not help.

I looked at the watch at 1.15 min. Focus Gabby focus. Then at 58 seconds left, yes it is less than one minute. At 30 seconds left I wanted it to be over and then finally it was these last 5 seconds. Puh!

Today it was a perfect day to run a long distance run. Today I ran solo. These days are not growing on trees. The sun was out, the sky was blue and still these spectacular Fall colors. Was a bit windy and some upwind. Gloves and cap on and off. It is also nice to say hi to the runners that you pass during the run and they actually say hi back :-)

Temperature: 11oC (52F).

Average speed today: 6.06 min/k and time: 1.34.31 h

After the run I drank some chocolate milk instead of gatorade.

85 day, 84 days to go

Tonite I ran 10k with reflective west and head lamp on. Some wind and also some upwind. Perfect weather, not too cold and unbelievable that I do not have to use my winter running pants yet.

Temperature 11oC (52F).

Average speed today: 5.51 min/k and time: 57.57 min

#11 – Plank challenge

90 seconds was the time today so I had to focus.

At 1 minute left I started to feel something in my abs, 40 seconds my legs were starting to shake also. 30 seconds I was hoping it would soon be over and finally it was only 6 seconds left and then 90 seconds has passed.

Oh boy it is just going to be tougher and tougher.

#9 – 50 runs in 100 days

86 day, 85 days to go

Today it was running barefoot, as warmup, at the judo mat before Newaza

The runner took over in me, had to pass the ones that was running slower and some of them appearently knew about my running challenge because a comment came when I was not satisfied with the tempo :-)

 

 

#10 – Plank challenge

Another 60 seconds. It is interesting. After 15 seconds I look at the timer and realize that it is 45 seconds left, at 30 seconds I feel the pain, after 20 seconds I hope it will be soon over and at 10 seconds I just wait to hear the beep, but I made it.

The challenge will be tomorrow when I have to do it for 90 seconds.

Tonite I had the pleasure of running with some Coach K Runners: Mats Johansson, Magnus BuickaMange Johansson and Pierre Unebratt. My plan was to run 10k alone, instead we ran 13.57 k.

I usually do not run longer distances in the evenings in the fall and winter, not longer than 10k normally. Much more fun to run a longer distance with nice company.

Temperature 8oC (46F)

Average speed today: 6.20 min/k and time: 1.26.03 h with photo session included (forgot to turn off the watch before the mandatory photo session)
