#2 – 50 runs in 100 days summer edition
#63- 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

Today it was time to get on those hills. Had asked a couple of girls from Coach K Runners if they wanted to join me and so then it was decided that Eva and I would run together. It was a while ago since Eva and ran together so I was looking forward to it. We always have such a good time.

Eve if the temperature was 17oC (63F) it looked grey and cold so I decided to wear a long sleeve shirt and tights. And today I also would test my new trail shoes. Salomon Fellraiser is not good on dirt roads and most of my trails runs and ultra races have longer parts of dirt roads so I am going to give Altra Lone Peak a try, bought Altra Lone Peak 1.5.

My pulse belt was not friends with me today and I ran to Eva and then we got up to St Hans hills. I thought it was going to be tough because I was not in such a good shape at physical training earlier this week.

We ran first from the start of the trail alignment of SHE last year but then at the end down the down hill hill. Then on the second lap we did a ad hoc running, tried some other parts.

Eva was running with me 3 laps and on the fourth lap I took the alternative “mördar” hill (new trail alignment last year) and on automatic ran down the down hill again so I actually started a fifth lap :-), up the top hill and then down the dirt road and decided to ran up on the left side at “mördar” hill and down the Nature walk and then run to Eva and get the tomato plant she and Niklas gave me and also got fika: peach pie.

As  usual Eva and I had a lot to discuss on our run. I am trying to get her to join me on a ultra race next year but so far I have not succeeded.

I have to say that these Altra trail shoes felt very comfortable. Very spacy, not as narrow as Fellraiser. I will come with a longer report later when I have run from Tjönarp.
