#30 – (Trail Run) – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition
#31 – (Transport from) – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition

Woke up this morning at 5 am to head out for the last longer trail run before the 6h treadmill battle challenge in November and to see in what condition I am in before the ultra race in December.

The temperature was 13oC (F) so I decided to wear capri, compression socks, long sleeve and windstopper.

On the train a guy got on and sat across from me and said hi 🙂  I was not sure what type this was but said hi and it Turner out that he also was runner. I realisera that when he asked me where I was going to run and told him I would run from Tjörnarp to Frostavallen and he asked if it was the Tjörnarp route 🙂 He and some other runners would run from Höör to a lake somewhere and he got me a tip to run from Höör to Hässleholm.

Great thing with Tjörnarp is that I step out from the train and then I just start running on Skåneleden.

It was a bit chilly when I started so it was nice to have the windstopper on and it also smelled mushroom.

At around 5K I started to have heavy breathing and had to take off the windstopper and I could breath much easier after that 🙂

When I got to the loop I decided to walk because it was wet and wet branches get slippery. At one point I got very scared because I stepped on something and thought it was a snake but then it was a bransch 🙂

I was thinking on the train if it was crazy to head out for a 40K trail run one week after Lidingöloppet but I did not feel any tired legs and just enjoyed the trail run but when I had run 11K I got pain in my right knee and walked for a short time and then at 12K was a hill and then I realized that I still was tired in  my legs after Lidingöloppet last weekend and that was so true.

It turned out to be a great day for trail running but I decided during the run that I had to cut the distance

I was following the route on my pulse watch as a back up but around 20K I realized two things, it has happened again, after 0.38K the distance did not work anymore and the pulse watch had lost the route. For the first time I felt that I really knew the route and very likely didn’t have to look at the pulse watch. I even found the narrow path after the ditt road after Nyrups Osteria and when I turned in to the woods.

I almost sprangled my foot today but was lucky once again.

So I ended up running around 30K with some walking.

It was nice seeing the fall colors and I passed some interesting people and drogs. On my way back to Frostavallen there was a lady who was out walking with her dogs, one little one who saw me first  and started to bark and then the middle dog who said hello to me and the little one was a bit more reserved.

Then it was the transport back to Höörs train station that is approximately 4K.
