Last week when I ran this route I had to cut the distance due to rain.

At lunch it started to rain and according to the weather report it was suppose to rain the whole afternoon. Oh no. The best would be if I could run my longest run Tuesday. Lucky me the rain stopped and when I biked home from work it was cloudy but not grey.

Decided to wear my linnen, shorts, ultra back pack so I had plenty of fluid to drink and wet my hair if I wanted to.

Started my run and it was not too hot in the beginning, managed to run to the first hill part where I always walked. I had issues with the water, hardly came out anything, knew that I had set the water bladder correctly so it was a good idea to stop just before it was time to walk. Turned out that I had not pushed the tube enough and fixed that issue, so much nicer when I got water flowing into my mouth.

I had tired legs so it would be interesting to see how I would manage the hills.

Ran into a smaller knee issue and decided to stop and walk for a while to get the knee feeling better.

Then it was time to run up the first steeper longer hill at Klosterängens höjder, so far I had been able to run up all the way but just below the top my legs did not want to run anymore. Stood at the top to catch my breath.

 

Then it was time for the second hill where I could run up all the way 🙂

Stood and enjoyed the view and catched my breath a little before it was time to run down on the other side.

Stood still at the bottom for a short moment and hoped that I would be able to run up all the way on the third hill and I did 🙂

On my way to St Hans hills I had to stop and walk a few times due to both the heat and knee issue.

Still no grey clouds indicating it would start raining.

Got to St Hans hills and ran up the first hill, walked after that.

Ran up almost all the way on the second hill but had to stop and walk just below the bottom. Before that hill I had a horse and rider in front of me and they were getting up on that hill. Hoped that they would have gotten enough up before it was time for me to run up the hill, do not like to come behind a horse where it is narrow but they were up before I got up.

Then I managed to run up the short steeper hills and was curious about the circle hill. I couldn’t run up all the way on the second hill and I was not surprised.

Then on the hill in the grove I had to walk on the hill at the end.

But then I just decided that I would run up all the way on the ”Murder” hill and I did it, what a great feeling.

Still no indication that it would start raining so I decided that I wouldn’t cut the distance.

Some more walking before I got back home, hoped that I would get under 3h and I actually did it. Glad I could run the original route that I had planned.
