This weekend I had planned that I would a 30K run and Linda who also is a Coach K Runner asked on FB if anyone would like to run a 30K run in Lund and I told her that I had planned to do that.

So we decided to start at 11 am. When we started to run the” fast runners” had just got back from their run.

I decided I would wear my winter pants so I didn’t freeze. I found out that Linda is a ultra runner so a lot of our discussion was about ultra races and preparation and recovery.

When we were on the bike path to Lomma we had a really strong freezing upwind and we hoped when we would turn back to Lund we would get rid of the upwind.

When we came to nature reserve the gravel road had become a big puddle so we took an alternative way off road 🙂 got some trail running into the woods and I found a way out after the puddle.

We also discussed the Swedish Classic (Svenska klassikern) and Vasaloppet. We actually met some rollerskis skaters.

I was a bit worried if I would be able to run this long run since I have had problems with irritated periosteums and didn’t know if my legs were ready to run this far but it felt that I am back now.

So after Lomma the upwind disappeared and we both agreed that this is a perfect run, And it was nice to see the sun.

Linda was on sightseeing, saw part of Lund that she had not seen before.
