#53<\/p>\n

Remember that last year I didn\u2019t get up on those longer distances. Had planned to run some 40K\u2019s but that did not happen. Longest distance I ran was a 33K on \u00d6sterlen.<\/p>\n

This year my goal is to run through the finish line and with my pneumonia I had to start slowly but after vacation it was time to raise the bar. So I raised the bar quite a bit from 28K to 39.37K and then I decided that between the next 40K I would run around 35K so it won\u2019t be too tough.<\/p>\n

So I was thinking where did I have to stop to get up to 35K, decided that I would run from Alunbruket to Vik and also this time try to start at 8 am.<\/p>\n

Once again it could rain but I would run as long as it would be good weather and if it would start raining it would depend how much and how cold if I would throw in the towel or not. Cannot just stop anywhere, need to be somewhere where I can be picked up by a car.<\/p>\n

So off I went in t-shirt, shorts, packed a long sleeve in a dry bag which I put in my ultra back pack.<\/p>\n

It is such a huge difference now when the temperature has dropped. Was around 15oC (59F) when I started, cool and nice and I did not freeze, some years ago I wouldn\u2019t try to run in t-shirt and shorts when it is 15oC but I have given it a try now a few weeks and it has not been an issue, I get warm when I start running.<\/p>\n

Some weeks ago I ran into a cow situation on a meadow where I have run smoothly for some years but this year one morning I realize that there are cows or heifers. What I did wrong was to walk towards them, but they looked sinister from the start. So every time now I look if I see any when I enter the meadow and there were none \ud83d\ude42 Good!<\/p>\n

Continued on the meadow, saw fresh cow dung and was praying that I wouldn\u2019t see them around the corner and thank God they weren\u2019t, I saw them on the other side of the creek and hoped that they wouldn\u2019t come over to me but why. I could not see any natural path that they could walk on.<\/p>\n

Got into the woods.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing I do not like in the woods are the spider webs that gets into my face and legs, it is more disturbing when they get into my face.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

During the summer with the tropical heat I have not have any issues with a certain plant but now when the temperature has dropped, it is greener and now they have started to grow these nettle and without thinking I was running on a dirt road and got a bit to close to the left and felt the sting. The only thing to do is to ignore it and then it won\u2019t sting anymore<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first part between Alunbruket and Hav\u00e4ng went quite well. Walked after some hills. Now I have started to run up more on the first hill at Br\u00f6sarps Nothern hills (in the beginning), also on the second hill. When I was on my way there I saw a bigger group of trekkers on these hills and hoped that I would caught up with the group at a place where I could pass them easily.\u00a0But I caught up with them down in the valley where I walk anyway but where I usually start running again they were in front of me so I took the opportunity to rest my leg and walked behind them til I got to the rest area where one of them said it looks good and I responded You too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I continued on the yellow marker. I realized that I ran more today then I have done before even if I had to walk where it was cows and animals. Managed to run the whole dirt road just before Hav\u00e4ng.<\/p>\n

The beach part between Hav\u00e4ng and Vitem\u00f6lla was running and walking, it is tough running on sand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that I have approximately 6K asphalt which is not so good to run on with trail shoe so once again running and walking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally I made it to Stenshuvud where I run a lot in the woods and it is going up to the top of Stenshuvud. Am running in the beginning but when I get tot the stairs I walk up on those and then all the way to the top. Time to head down and when it is not so rocky anymore I ran down. Now I got tired in my legs and feet so I did some walking, met a labrador puppy who was happy when I patted him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then it was only 5K left on asphalt. Ran and walked up the hills. The first 10K I ran in 1h 25 min, 20K in 2h 58 min so I hoped that I would be able to finish in less than 5 h and 30 min which I have said to Wille. I had run 35K in 5 h and 5 min which felt great but it was 36K to Vik but finished in 5 h 13 min which felt great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wille was a bit delayed but it was not cold so I tested my thermal blanket and then when Wille arrived I had my mandatory bath and then lunch.<\/p>\n
