#47 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

Needed a 25K trail run this weekend and have run from Christinehof to Haväng included the 5K ”strövstig” (footpath) but felt that I could try to find something new. When I asked my running group CKR about if something new a longer run on Österlen someone mentioned Österlen circle but that one was around 40K which is too long at the moment but saw that one part was Vantalängan to Kivik 15k. And from Christinehof to Vantalängan it is almost 10K so I decided to combine those.

Earlier I have run from Alunbruket to Hallamölla on orange, then yellow to Vantalängan but deciced to run from Alunbruket all the way to Bengtemölle on orange, no footpath today.

The orange part from Hallamölle started with a longer dirt road but then I was back in the woods again and some steeper hills. Will see what I will do next weekend.

A bit chillier today when I started, 16oC (60.8F) but I love when it is around this temperature, not too warm, not too cold.

Felt that I still was tired in my legs after the trail run at Kullaberg last weekend and the hilly intervals Wednesday, have some issues with my right heel and right knee, brought linament but never put it on my knee, so some walking from time to time.

Then I had decided that I would go on yellow after Bengtemölle because the 6.5K orange to Haväng is too much dirt road and asphalt.

Some bigger groups of trekkers were out today on the orange marker and we said hi to each other.

Got down to Haväng where I walked back to the orange marker.

When I got to the parking lot there was an orange marker showing where I would continue to Kivik but then when I got the next sign place no Kivik, thought that I was going to run near the water to Kivik to Haväng so I saw an orange marker further up with a pinboard and thought that it would say something where to head but it was just a lifebuoy. So I had to sit down, bring out my map but it did not cover to Kivik, then it is when your mobile came in handy, searched for the route and got a name on the map. Headed back to the sign place and saw that I would continue further up.

The last part was first running close to the water with a lot of sand parts and then when it was left 2K asphalt which is not the best with running with Altra shoes.

When I had finished it was time for the mandatory swim in the ocean, lovely when you are warm after a 3-4 hours run and get into the water and cool down.

Then lunch at Bures in Kivik

Weight report

Weight loss: 0.8 KG, since I have weighed myself in the afternoon after eating breakfast and lunch I believe that my weight should be lower. But it is going in the right direction, getting closer and closer to 60 KG
