#11 – 50 runs in 100 days summer edition
#72- 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

Tonite it was time for a ”Glädjepass” – Fun Run with Coach K Runners

Fun run is a run that focus on the pleasurable to run and less on the Watch

On my way to the Fun run I had to choose another way because just in front of me showed up two horses, I am not afraid of horses but I do not like to get behind them because they might get scared and kick me and one kick can do serious damage.

It would be good to have a fun run after the hilly intervals yesterday. There were two new members who joined us tonite. From the beginning we were keeping together. Of course we got behind these horses but they galloped but after a while we caught up with them but the riders heard us and stopped and let us pass.

We ran the same route as last week.

After half the distance I started to get a bit behind, the pace had actually increased but I made up my mind that I would keep up with the rest. It is a mindset most of the time and even if I was breathless I came back to the group and even to the front which felt good.

I wore a water belt because the temperature showed 28oC (82F) and one of the girls asked if I drank up all the water. The thing is is the summer it is good to bring water because you will never know how warm it will be and there is nothing worse than getting very warm and not have any water with you, then you might have to stop and walk because you hit that heat wall so I always have water, better more than less so you can wet your hair and drink water it it will be very warm.

It felt good tonite to be able to fun a bit faster than 6 min/k and be breathless and just keep going. You can run faster than you Think but when you are out running by yourself it is so easy to run in a comfortable pace and not go outside your comfort zone even if you will be able to do it.
