#9 – 50 Runs in 100 days – Spring edition

I had a plan for Friday/Saturday that changed so Saturday was open. Decided to run but rained most during the night and morning.

Decided to do some serious shopping using the birthday gift card I got at one of my favorite clothes stores. Headed down there after breakfast and hoped that no rain in the afternoon.

When I stepped out from the store, it was not raining that much so there was hope.

Had lunch and fixed a few things at home and voilá the sun came out finally. And watch skicross where Sweden got two gold medals today. Just had to head out even if part of me didn’t.

Before I knew it would rain so much the plan was to run up to St Hans hills and back but today I decided I would do a variation of the run that my running buddy Eva Berg did which is 8K but shorten it a bit.

Temperature: 8oC (46.4F) so Fall compressions tights, long sleeve and windstopper. No gloves or hat

Part of the run I could have used gloves, it was a bit chilly but eventually I got warm.

Right now I am not running with a lot of enthusiasm. With those extra pounds I gained just before vacation and during it is heavy to run right now but it won’t help sitting on the couch either. Just have to have patience so when I get lighter it would be with more joy I run.

Part of the run had some really heavy upwind where I got very breathless. Was on my watch when a horse passed me trotting

One thing I do not like very much is to get wet feet, as you can see above there were some parts where it was puddles and there was not any detour around it so some sworing

Spring is near, nice to see some spring flowers
