#39 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

Last Saturday I had planned to run a route, mix of orange, yellow and a little blue but after the blue and back on orange I got confused where Bengtemölle was (where I would go back on yellow) so I ended up running on orange all the way to Haväng. Distance fine but too much asphalt and dirt road, need more hillier runs now.

So this weekend I would redo the same run, would know where to run at some parts of the run and then on orange after blue I would turn on yellow where it showed up the first time and continue as planned.

A bit warmer then last Saturday but rain in the air but that would not stop me from running.

There is race going on this weekend, started Friday 8 am from Bjärred (10 outside of Lund) and then the runners run down all the way to Haväng and turns back and finish at Hotel Lundia, a 246K. Earlier this week I was wondering if I would see some of them since I would mix orange and yellow, the fastests finish with around 30h so they would have turned back during the nite and would have past Christinehof but this morning around 7 am some were around the area.

Started my run at 8.42 am and I had not run long on the orange marker when I saw two guys, Henrik Kockum was one of them who I know, he is part of the 6h treadmill battle. I cheered them on and talked to them. They had been running about over 24 h, impressive.

Then later on orange there were two more guys who I did not know but cheered them on. I love to see my progress. At 5K I visited the toilet and turned on yellow, realized that I didn’t have to walk and continued running.

Last week I missed a yellow part where I saw a yellow arrow but realized afterwards that I should have turned to the right but continued on the dirt road. Decided that I would’t miss this part this time but did but turned right at the end and ran to the beginning instead.

Then came one of the toughest hills on this route before Vantalängan where I have to walk, is similar to Djuralid’s hill on Tjörnarparen and then a steep down hill where I ran down better this time.

Now I knew how I would run at Vantalängan. Had to remove the t-shirt because it was a bit too warm

Had rain from time to time but it did not bother me, it cooled me down instead.

Then it was time to run the blue 5K part which have some hillier parts and very lovely heather where I had the most rain.

Then I was back on orange where it starts with a hillier part and then at the top there are horses where I walk, I am not afraid of horses but I do not want to get kicked by them

Started to get a bit tired in my legs.

Came to this confusing rest area where I this time knew that I would run to Haväng and then would turn on yellow where I saw the yellow arrow the first time on orange, turned out that it was Bengtemölle and according to my map I would run to Brösarp and then continue on orange to the rail road tracks, saw yellow to Haväng and then a sign saying Brösarp 1.3K so I continued to Brösarp but could not see any orange, had brought with me the ”Brösarps map” studying it so I turned back and it felt familiar

I came on yellow from another part last year so turned on yellow on Haväng and decided to not get back on orange, just continue on yellow

This calf seemed scared when I walked towards them so I took a pic and then turned right a bit away from the calf not to scare hime or her too much.

Nice being back on those meadows.

My right calf started to get tired so a little more walking at the end

Good that I did not step in this fellow.

Was a lot of nettles but did not get burned this time 🙂

Finally I came to the final destination, same finish time but ran longer.

And then the mandatory swim in the ocean, no picture today
