Tonite I wanted to challenge myself. I have had a great season as far as training, no injuries and have basically been running long distance running every week after I had participated in Triathlon Sprint in June. End of September I will run Liding\u00f6loppet which is a 30k cross country race. It will be my fifth time and this year I am aiming at PB. So why not bring Liding\u00f6loppet to St Hans. During my 28.5k race I did a couple of weeks ago I decided I would run 10 laps which would be a total of 25k and then running from my home and back would be a total of 30k. The challenge would be to run all those 10 laps. I have so far run 5 laps (3 laps, 8k flat run and then 2 laps again.<\/p>\n

On my third lap it looked like it might start raining \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Lap 1 to 4 I had fast legs and my legs were just fine and during the fourth lap it started to rain :-), lucky me it did not last very long and it did not bother me much.<\/p>\n

\"5_IMG_1243.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fifth lap was also feeling just fine, there were some other runners out there and some freesbee golfers showed up so I was using the word ”FORE” a couple of times to let them know I am around, do not want to get hit by a freesbee in my head.<\/p>\n

On my seventh lap my I feel some ache in my right knee so I guess the really challenge has just started. It is going to be interesting what will happen on lap 8-10, only three more laps to go \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

On my ninth lap I am getting very tired in my calves and the pace is going down and I also get tired in my feet and on my up on the last hill up on the amphi theater I almost fall, I think it is a sign that I AM TIRED<\/p>\n

\n\"16_IMG_1274-e1408561846859.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On my tenth lap I am aching all over and I am really tired in my calves, feet, right knee aching a bit and I am feeling tired in my hips as well and it is not going very fast but this is the last lap \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"18_IMG_1278.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"19_IMG_1281.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am heading home and oh boy I have never been feeling this way on my way home from any Coach K Runners or St Hans hilly training before. It is aching all over the place and it feels like I can get cramp any minute but don’t dare start walking, I am going to make it all the way home.<\/p>\n

\"20_IMG_1282-e1408561932249.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n
