#25 – 50 runs in 100 days – No excuses edition

This year is about getting more higher meters of altitude since I plan to run a ultra race called Kullamannen Ultra i Nov and I have found a new group of Runners who are getting ready for Swiss Alpine in August and they have a pace that suits me perfectly.

Finally I could join them today in Genarp. I got a ride with Terje who has a big red jeep and of course we discussed running on our way to Genarp where we met the rest of the group.

We were 6 people and 2 of them were former AZ colleagues and one guy had two common friends, Nishaban who also is a former colleague from AZ and then Jeanice who belongs to CKR.

I wanted higher meters of altitude and I GOT it. We ran on a mountain bike trail and I liked the  serpentine the best, first down the serpentine, we paused shortly and then ran back up,

There were some hills where I had to walk part of it, I am not used to these hills but will run with this group to improve.

During the run my gloves, hat and fleece got off. The temperature was 9oC (48F) when we started.

Here is when we have started running down the serpentine

Even if I was last I was not stressed because I always saw someone from the group in front of me

Here is when we were running up a longer dirt road, first I was able to run but at the end I had to start walking so my inflection Point (=brytpunkt) came a bit earlier.

Even if I have just got back from a longer cold I was proud of myself. Am satisfied with my run. I am going to be tired in my calves tomorrow 🙂

I have realized that when I am running in the city and I am saying hello to other runners I can get the evil eye from some runners but when I am running on trails every runner is so happy and say hi with a smile 🙂
