#24 – 23.32K Trail Running
#25 – 4.30K Transport to train station
#26 – 3.60K Transport to home

Since the weather is going to be bad this evening, a lot of rain I decided to take the train and bus to Frostavallen and run a longer trail run.

The day started interesting, took the bus to the train station but the bus did not turn left on one street and I was wondering for a second if it was road construction but then I saw blue light from a police car and started to wondering, saw more blue lights from other police cars and streets were blocked. Thought that they were chasing a criminal that was hiding in an apartment since I also saw police men outside an apartment building.

Text messaged Wille and asked him if he had heard anything and he hadn’t but then he text messaged me back, turned out that a maniac had seen an unidentified object under his car and had driven his car to the police station and what the police had to do was to bring in the bomb squad to take a look at the object. I was glad I left town during the day.

Then I got yelled at by the bus driver when I was friendly helping out a passenger about tickets and decided to walk away to a seat, later that passenger thanked me for me being friendly.

Brought two bottles with water with me and started my run.

The goal today was to walk less and run up more hillier parts than last time.

Realized again that t-shirt was too hot so I had to take that off and run in my sports bra. Could finally breathe easier. Such a relief.

Even if it was hot that was a breeze from time to time.

I ran a detour when I got on white, did not pay attention where the next white marker pointed but the area did not seem familiar and turned back.

Then at one part of the route I am crossing the forest between two dirt roads but there they have cut a lot of trees so it does not look familiar anymore, am very familiar with this route and have had problems with following the route on my pulse watch. Walked here since it also are a lot of dry branches and needed to fint the right way, got a bit too far down to the left first and did not want to get more burned on these nasty plants called nettle

Turned back and finally I find the creek and the narrow path and got to the other dirt road.

It had grown a lot since I was here last time and got confused at one part and was not sure if I was on the right track and turned back, big mistake

Felt how it shorched bad on my calf and some on my under arm and cheek, saw a bee stuck on my calf and realized that I have gotten wasp bites. Waved away the nastiest one on my calf. Walked to feel if I had gotten a reaction or not but I seemed fine.

Had to stop and help a family telling them that they could swim at Dagtorps lake if they walked down the blue marker.

They have redirected the blue marker and decided to try the new part, otherwise I run to the right around Dagtorps lake.

Continued my run and then realized that I had to pass these

They did not look like ”normal” cows, I walked slowly and looked at them to make sure they would not attach me but they started to move away from me.

Was a bit warm so the heat ”killed” a bit this day and had to walk also because of the heat.

Was nice being back running in the woods and a longer trail run.

The transport back to the train station was warm and I drank the rest of the water and hoped that I would be able to fill those water bottles with cold water when I got to the train station.

Saw that a café was open and walked in and asked if the café man could be carnivorous and fill my water bottles with water and he had cold water in bottles in the refrigerator. He saved my day.

Drank cold water on the train and then got out at Stångby train station and ran back home.

Am now very tired in my legs and feet and will rest til Saturday when I plan to do hilly intervals.

Didn’t get my pulse belt after vacation, thinks it is left in the car.
