#8 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
#9 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition

Alarm went off at 5 am this morning, breakfast and then train down to Lund.

I realized that this was not a good day for running, the train had been replaced by bus which meant longer ride to Tjörnarp. I even fell asleep on the bus and started to be hungry, not a good sign.

Temperature when I left was 12oC (53.6F)

Had put on a long sleeve over my t-shirt since I had heard that it would be nice weather, capri tights and my new compression socks, altra lonepeak 2.5, no gloves or hat. While I was waiting for the bus I was starting to get cold hands but the positive thing with the bus ride was that I got warm again. At the train station I saw a familiar face: Malin Olsson who was going up to Osby and run on Skåneleden with Henrik Kockum.

So I started to run a bit late, comfortable pace, at around 3.5K I had to do a combo: pee break and remove my long sleeve and roll up my capri and then I could breath again 🙂

It was a very nice day for a run, it is getting greener and greener, soon it will be clogged.

At 20K the heat took the life out of me. I had to make a decision if I would torment me for Another 20K or cut the distance and that was what I had to do.

Both in Tjörnarp and Frostavallen was thick tractor tracks that gets my feet tired so I had to walk on them. Hope the rain will take care of them later so it becomes more smooth at those parts.

I even saw a flat mouse on a dirt road

Distance: 30.8K, time: 4.17.12.4h, average heart rate: 141, average pace: 8.21 min/k, max pace: 5.47 min/k, cadence: 176, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min

This time when I got back to Frostavallen I did not stretch before I headed back to Höör, I walked 500m and then ran 1K and continued that way, lucky me a cool breeze came which was wonderful. Transport run – Distance: 4.26K, time: 32.42.6 min

The bus ride home was interesting, first the driver could not close the door in the middle and then he started to drive and I was thinking, what is he doing but he stopped and finally could close the door. Now when you have a bus that replace a train you will stop at the stations where the train would have stopped but this driver probably got very stressed so he skipped Stehag and was not familiar with Eslöv where there was road construction work so he had to turn back. I am not sure if he got to the train station from the right direction, then we had sight seeing in Eslöv, he was on his way in the right direction but decided to turn back and drive somewhere else so he ended up skipping also Örtofta and Stångby where I had planned to go off at and run back. I was wondering if he would find Lund but that town was very familiar to him.
