Time again for some trail running.

Wore ny new winter compression tights, wool socks, wool long sleeve shirt, wool sports bra, winter jacket, gloves and hat plus ultra back pack, altra lonepeak 4.0

When I was on my out from my home I realized that I had forgotten to put water in the water bladder, lucky me I had two soft flasks to fill a total of 500 mL with. 🙂

When I walked down to the first train station it felt a bit icy but it had not rained the whole week so I was hoping it would be less gooey than last weekend.

When I got down to Lund central station I heard that one train was delayed, checked the board and saw that there were more train delays including my train, due to rail road tracks running. Unbelievable. I was thinking when will the train arrive in Höör, the buss leaves at 9.22 and the train would leave 8.52 instead of 8.44. It would be tight, part of me wanted to turn back but I decided to take the train. We left 8.54. Got to Höör train station 8.18, the bus was there and I made it 🙂

Looked like it had been raining but it was not grey as last weekend.

Got out from the bus and started my pulse watch and then started my trail run.

I had decided that I would run up all the way on more hills.

Looked like it was gooey icy. The goo was not as wet as last weekend in the beginning.

Passed some runners in the beginning, the girl had actually the same winter jacket and color 🙂 They ran with rods

Started on the green marker and got up all the way on all hills, there is one part where it is going down hill where I have fallen last year when it was wet and gooey so I took it easy down there.

It was colder this Saturday then last weekend so I had cold hands in the beginning but they got warm and I took them off and my hat.

Then it  was time to get on the white marker and now I ran up all the way on the white marker, felt great. It is definately a mindset. I remember this Spring when I ran up part of the way or walked all the way, I was heavier than but still if u have the right mindset u can do it.

Hadn’t fallen yet

Visited the toilet before I headed out on the blue marker. Thought that I would take off my jacket but decided to keep it on.

Today I ran on all the footbridges.

Today it was me, the hunters that mainly was out.

On the blue marker I decided that I would run on the original ”Tjörnarparen” part, earlier this blue marker was black but when it was very wet and gooey they changed it to blue and changed the path so it is going to the left now but earlier it was going to the right, closer to Dagtorpssjön. I could actually see across the lake and see where I would continue after the dirt road.

There are two dirt roads on the blue marker and I get so bored sometimes that I walk, I do not know why, it will just take longer but I do not walk too long because I am out running, not trekking which I remind myself about when I start to walk.

I was almost falling a couple of times but did not.

On the second dirt road there were a lot of traffic, some cars passed me, it looked like it was hunters who moved to another location.

I could see the sun among the clouds and finally it got out, so nice

Til now I have run up all the way on all hills and now it was time to get up on Djuralidsbacken (Djuralids hill) which is short and very steep, at this time of the year I am walking up on it, it is too wet and gooey for me but I hav run up all they way on this hill in August some years ago because I decided that I would do it so once again right mindset.

Today I did not meet any cows but at the same place as last time where I met two dogs there were two very white fluffy dogs and a white samujed.

They ran towards me and barked, the listened to tcht, the smaller ones ran after me when I passed their owners.

I was now back on the green marker and passed another runner with a happy dog and said hello.

I had planned to run on the other side of the lake Vaxsjön but decided to run on the same side. So I finished on the orange marker.  Now I ran all the way to the parking lot, remember this Spring when I walked part of it. So different now.

So ran up all the way on all hills except Djuralidsbacken, ran on all the footbridges, I hoped for a better finish time this Saturday and I did it, 8 minutes faster and a bit longer trail run, the average pace was a bit faster.

Enjoyed the trail run a lot, so much variation and nice area and no city noise.

Next week I will do the same route as today but run on the side of the lake Vaxsjön, I suspect it will be a bit longer.

Time to head back to the train station, I was not sure if the trains would be delayed or not but they were on time. The run back to the city is running with walking.
