Took the train to my parents for Easter and I usually run my traditional 6.5K run when I am there, but today I decided I would first run out to Svartö, a little Island close to where I grew up. And then instead of running in the residential district I ran ad hoc into the woods in the “mulle” area. I have been in this area in my youth and it was a lot of unmarked trails to follow :-) It was nice being back and then I came out on the bike path to continue on my 6.5K run that I usually run.

It was some rain in the air, around 5oC (41F)

I enjoy hearing the birds singing, it tells me it is spring.

During the run I saw 2 pheasants.

Even if I am in the city most of my run was in the woods even if I wouldn’t call it a trail run.

My gluteus did not complain too much, once in a while I had a pace under 6 min/k.

This month I started a burpee challenge so when I was close to home I did 4 burpees and then finished the run :-) Some people were passing me and were probably wondering what the heck I was doing :-) Threw out my mobile phone on the grass and afterwards put it back in my jacket pocket.

When I got home I did my plank challenge: 20s regular plank, 20s right plank, 20s left plank and 20s reverse plank and then stretching, nowadays I do the dove position on a table or today on the  mangle :-)

Distance: 4.67 miles (7.67K), time: 48.42.6 min,
average pace: 6.21 min/k, max pace: 5.14 min/k,
VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
