#27 – 50 runs in 100 days – Hardcore edition
#134 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

I thought it would be great to head out for another run Christmas Day. Decided that I was going to run around St Hans hills, I was thinking that I might do intervals but thought it would be too wet. So 3-4 laps on St Hans hills and then I could not decide if I would use my Fellraiser or Altra Lonepeak. Realized that I had not been running on St Hans hills with my Altra Lonepeak when it is really gooey so Altra Lonepeak 2.0 was the choice.

Temperature 8oC (46F)

Decided to run on the original route (SHE) and start at the half moon, at the bottom, and go from there.

I saw some other runners and met one biker who was biking on the route.

There was one hill in particular that was the worst one, a lot of cord groove (=slirspår) so it was tough running up the hill without sliding down. At the circle hill I have an alternative route to avoid falling in the goo.

Felt that I had a good pace and was getting up the hills faster which felt really great.

There has been a discussion in my running group how u best wash your dirty running shoes and someone said that something that cleans your running shoes is doing trail running during the Fall and Winter. I am not sure that did the trick today.

Maybe because I was avoiding puddles

Great weather, sunny, blue sky and had a great time running up those hills.

Best time today, still have a hard time accepting that I am not a slow runner anymore
