This afternoon I was going to run a tough hilly long distance run, 30k and thought that I would do it solo but then my friend Eva Berg from Coach K Runners wanted to join me. I left my home and couldn’t first figure out why I couldn’t see any pulse on my pulse watch but realized I have forgotten to put on my pulse belt and have to run back home and put it on. 🙂
Eva joined me at the paddock.

So first we ran three laps on St Hans Extreme, the temperature was around 28oC (82F) but we survived because it was a breeze. When we were on our way up to St Hans we heard noices and saw that it was a ”New student” institute of technology competition going on so when we ran down the top hill we had to take an alternative way the first 2 laps and then on the third lap we could run across and continue. Eva had only run 2 laps before so she now ran 3 laps. Congratulations Eva!

The plan then was to run my 8k run but Eva came with a suggestion to run past the riding stable and back to Annehem and then to St Hans and I thought that was a great suggestion. When we came to Annehem we ran to Eva’s friend so Eva could get more water. 🙂

When we got back to St Hans we ran St Hans Extreme reverse, Eva joined me one more lap so now she has run 4 laps on St Hans. I am going to try to get her to run St Hans Extreme next year. I ran one more lap reverse and now my legs were tired and my feet warm.

Here I am at the amphitheater

And now it is time to run back home past the paddock again

I was wearing my compression socks on this run, need to get used to them now when I am going to use them on Lidingöloppet. Distance: 30.40k, total time: 3.26.19 h and my last tough hilly long distance run before Lidingöloppet. I survived today because of the breeze. Thanks Eva Berg for the company and thanks Polar
for the batteries. The battery has not died yet. I now know where I will buy my batteries in the future.
