#3 – 50 Runs in 100 Days – Autumn Edition

This week it has rained since Wednesday afternoon and earlier this week it looked like it was going to rain Saturday. I hoped that that would change.

When I checked Friday it looked like it would not rain today.

Decided that I would run my run from Christinehof to Kivik and if it would start raining I had to take a decision if I would cut the distance or not. Depending on the rain of course, if the temperature is high enough rain can cool me down in a positive way.

Also was not sure how those hilly intervals would affect my run

Temperature at start: 15oC (59F).

On the car ride to Christinehof it rained and I really really hoped it wouldn’t rain when I started and I was lucky.

So glad I brought my longsleeve which was on til I almost was at Haväng. It was cloudy most of the run but near Haväng the sun finally came out.

I thought it was raining from time to time but the creeks fooled me, their noise made me believe it was raining 🙂

Oops here a tree had fallen down on the path so I had to take an alternative way

Near Hallamölla, when I had run 5K, I felt the tiredness in my right calf so I had to walk from time to time during the run because of this tired calf, one more day rest would have been the best but it is good to run on tired legs since on the second lap on the race in November I will have tired legs.

It showed cleary today that it had been raining during the week, it was gooey and some puddles.

When I was on my way to the footpath there were a lot of horses that came running and when one of them saw me and came forward

The footpath was a bit gooey today

I was wondering if the heather would still be as beautiful as last time

That part still amazes me, I also saw a bird of prey

Then it was time to head back on the orange again, I was not sure if the horses would be back or not but they were and I also had to pass some cows, thought it would be good to walk slowly til I had gotten a good distance between them and me til I started running again

Then it was time to get out on the yellow marker to Haväng. On the yellow I had the pleasure of bond with these too curious foal

They almost attached my ultra backpack, it was hard getting away from them, when I started to walk to the stone wall the grey foal followed me 🙂

Nice to get to Haväng and see the ocean

On my way to Vitemölle it looked like it was raining close to Kivik and then it started to rain but great thing today was that I ran the whole beach path without walking, that was a major thing.

Also when I got on the side of the car road I ran a longer part, with tired legs and altra lonepeak trail shoes asphalt is not so funny

Had to take the mandatory swim in the ocean afterwards even if it was raining and the temperature was around 13oC (55.4F)

Then it was lunch at a new interesting place
