I was looking forward to a nice not to warm trail run and originally distance was 45K. During the train ride it started to rain heavily and I do not like to run in the rain except if I have been out on a really warm day and the sky opened up. I was wondering how this day would be. A big question mark. I was hoping it would be fine by the time I got to Tj\u00f6rnarp and it seemed to be fine when I got out from the train.<\/p>\n<p>Knew that it would be wet and gooey.<\/p>\n<p>I decided I would run and not just turn back \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>It started just fine but then the sky opened up and I got soaked, my hair got wet, my long sleeve shirt got wet, my tights got wet and my shoes got wet \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2935.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2881\" src=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2935-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2935\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2934.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2880\" src=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2934-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2934\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No way that I was going to run 6 h soaked so if it didn&#8217;t get better\u00a0I decided I would run at least 20K.<\/p>\n<p>It was very green in the forest and more rain came so I decided I would run to the first fuel station and then run back.<\/p>\n<p>Rain can be good because I felt that I had a good pace even if it was very wet on the paths.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2931.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2877\" src=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2931-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2931\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2932.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2878\" src=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/IMG_2932-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2932\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was on my way to sprain both my feet, and had some ache in my right knee but I didn&#8217;t run into any issues \ud83d\ude42 and I also fell flat into the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Glad I had my Altra Lone Peak running shoes, they handle wet stones very well but not wet branches so on the loop I had to take it easy.<\/p>\n<p>One positive thing that has happened lately is that the pace has increased at the end.
