#28 – 50 runs in 100 days – No excuses edition

This morning it was time again for some trail running around Genarp with the Swiss Alpine group.

We were a smaller group today. From the weather reports it looked like it is going to be colder, grey day and it was a bit colder this morning so of course me who is afraid of freezing and getting a cold put on full gear.

During the first couple of k’s it felt like I was wearing a too heavy back pack. Felt tough to breath. So I asked for a mini pause and took off both my fleece and windstopper 🙂 Everything changed, could breath normally.

Got a ride with Madeleine and then we met Gert-Inge on the parking lot. This week I got my new Altra Lone Peak 2.5 and couldn’t hellp myself. I wore those during the run and was really satisfied.

Almost the same route as last week but not completely. I had decided that  I would run all the way at two hills and did it, Felt great!

Found out that we would run down and up the serpentine, that was really fun last time. This time I just flew and felt like Emelie Forsberg.

The sun came out and it was a perfect day til I came uphill on a dirt road and saw Madeleine laying on the road and was wondering what had happened. Sprained ankle. For the first time my elastic bandage came in handy. She tried to run after a while but it did not work so we walked but then she fell down in pain again. I felt that it would be better if she could be picked up by a car. Gert-Inge got my phone number and ran to his car.

He called and told us we had to move 1500 m. Madeleine could not walk so I carried her with some pauses. Then she could walk with baby steps with my support. At the end Gert-Inge came on a bike and Madeleine ”jumped on” (a lady from the house where the car was borrowed her child’s bike to Gert-Inge.

Lucky us Madeleine had automatic transmission.

Today I enjoyed the run a lot because I did not run around angry.

Distance: 16.07K, time: 2.21 04h, average pulse: 146, average pace: 8.46 min/k, max pace: 5.01 min/k, cadence: 172, VO2 Max: 30 ml/kg/min.

Really fun tough route today.
