90 day, 89 days to go

Yesterday I was fed up with the rain and heard that today it was suppose to be sunnier. I decided that if that was the case I would run my long distance run I have planned to run for a while.

This morning it was 5oC (41F) but no rain and then the sun came out.

Finally I could run my 16k run, temperature 9oC (48F), the sun was out and the sky was blue. On road 108 I could see more of the damages that Simone had done.

After the run I could enjoy drinking this milk drink with vanilla taste.

Average speed today: 5.53 min/k and time: 1.32.07 h

92 day, 91 days to go

Just got back from a 10k run in a typical Lund weather. It was raining part of the run and it was windy. The challenge was to conquer the upwind. The joy of the run was the sun and the really nice orange sky.

My weaker me was trying to win today and if I did not participate in this challenge it might have won.

Average speed today: 5.53 min/k and time: 57.50 min

94 day, 93 days to go

I hate running, in the rain, in the fall and winter. I rather wait it out or might even skip running til it is better weather. But today I had to grasp the nettle (directly translated “take the bull by the horns”) .

Today I ran 5k. Temperature 9oC (48F) and rain most of the run. Enjoyed running but did not enjoy the weather:

Average speed today: 5.39 min/k and time: 28.52 min.

Tonite I tried a new workout called TRX at the sports club where running was included in the exercises. Half the group were using the TRX tool while the other half was doing other exercises with medicine balls, handle bars, hoops and was running back and forth doing an exercise and then running again back and forth. I am sure I will have pain in some muscles tomorrow. It takes some time to get the grip of it to get the maximum out of it.  I am sure I will try it again.

TRX = functional training tool which consists of two anchors. Core stability and strength but also mobility, coordination and fitness
