#18 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep  Running edition

So today it was time for the traditional 10 laps on St Hans Hills, last long distance before Lidingöloppet Sep 24th, a 30K trail race.

I wore shorts, t-shirt, pink compression socks, water belt with only water and  and flipbelt.

It was perfect weather today. The sun was out from time to time but it was cloudy.

One lap is 2.5K.

Today there were 3 freesbee golfer groups, some bikers, some other runners, dog walkers and a bunch of horses.

In the beginning when I was running up to the grove there was a group of freesbee golfers that just had made rash so I had to stand and jog on the same place but then they were polite and let me through 🙂

So the first 5 laps felt like normal and on lap 6 and 7 I started to feel tired in my back thighs and ran into a knee issue on lap 7 that forced me to walk for a moment.

On lap 8 it started to feel a bit heavier and had to walk on the ”killer” hill (mördarbacken) so it felt like lap 9 would be brutal and was thinking that I would maybe not run lap 10 and I was so right, lap 9 was awful, I had to walk up on most hills, tried to run between but had to walk after a short moment.

I walked all the way home
