#1 – 16.80 K – 50 Runs in 100 days – Summer edition
#2 – 4.25K – 50 Runs in 100 days – Summer edition

I have been running on green/blue/green marking two times and I felt it was time to increase the distance, was checking the different markers and planned today to run green/white/blue/green marking and was hoping that it would be longer than the green/blue/green.

Was not sure about the weather but took out shorts, t-shirt, compression socks yesterday. When I stepped on the balcony it was a bit chillier and decided to have my capri tights over my shorts and then a long sleeve and see what the weather would be when I got to Frostavallen.

On my way to the train station I realized that I had not checked the trains or the bus to Frostavallen and hoped that the bus would go 10.22 otherwise I was thinking that I either would take the train to Tjörnarp and run a 20K trail run or run 4K to Frostavallen, I needed hillier so if there would not be a bus I would run 4K to Frostavallen. Checked at the train station and realized that the bus left 10.22 from Höörs train station 🙂

Decided to take off the capri tights before I started my run. Kept the long sleeve on because it was a bit windy.

Realized that I have forgotten my pulse watch at home, glad that I brought the charger so I used the Movescount app today to the route registered.

Started my run and it did not take long til I decided to take off the long sleeve, today I had decided that I would try to run up more hills.

I have run on some of the white marking during Tjörnarparen and some runs in Frostavallen but then I have left white to run to Nyrups Osteria, the first part is hilly but did not know about the rest, turned out it was a good part, more hills and then some flat parts, on my way to blue I scared a lady and I said sorry and also said I know the feeling.

Later when I had visited the toilet before blue she and her husband got back to their car and asked if I would run around Dagtorpssjön (Dagtorps lake) and I said yes and she also said that but you came from that direction, yes I started at Frostavallen and have run green/white. Informed them that the blue marking is a nice treeking route. Couldn’t help myself but had to take off the t-shirt so I was running around with the sports bra the rest of the run. So liberating.

For the first time I felt joy running, felt lighter and also felt that I had a good pace. It is definately going in the right direction.

Also thankful that I planned to run today, would’t had wanted to stay inside a day like this.

In the beginning it was a bit warm but it was also a breeze. Passed some trekkers but no runners. I am wondering where the runners are, I have passed some last year but so far this year I have not seen any other runners.
