This morning I had the pleasure of running with two experienced trail runners, Åke and Robert. I took the train up to Höör and Åke picked med up at the train station and then we picked up Robert on our way to Fulltofta (which by the way is not located south of Lund 🙂

Before I walked down to the bus I realized it would be better to walk in wider trekking shoes instead of my Fellraiser 🙂 I got blisters on both my little toes from yesterday’s run.

When we got to Fulltofta I felt that it would be good to add an extra Compeed on my right little toe, which has suffered the most yesterday.

First Robert and Åke discussed the trail run, we decided we would run 14K and then decide if we would be satisfied or run 6K more.

Then the mandatory group picture

Since I was the least fastest runner they would try to keep my pace but Robert disappeared from time to time but slowed down eventually. Since we didn’t bring any water there was a spring and also cups to use so we drank some water and took a short break.

It was such a joy running in the woods over stones, roots and ”spongar” (= boards) and test my Fellraiser. This is the reason why I bought Salomon Fellraiser to use for trail runs.

When we got close to 14K we all felt fresh (despite my blisters) and decided to continue running. Fellraiser are good to use when it is gooey but you can still stumble if you do not lift your feet. Lucky me I did not fall on the ground but was close one time. When you get tired you stumble more and I hit my front big toes 🙂

Something was not right with the pulse watch during this run, the distance did not make any sense 🙂 I brought this up with the guys. I thought that I had saved yesterday’s run but then Robert informed that I have to push the Reset button on the Garmin for at least 3s, I guess that was not the case yesterday 🙂

After the run it was time for ”fika” and the guys ate pan cakes and I ate a cinnamon roll.

Distance: 18.88K     Total time:2.17 h      Average speed: 6.51 min/k using Garmin Forerunner 310XT

This is definately not my last time I run a trail run.
