Yesterday was really nice day.
On the schedule was 32km of running.

I packed my things and headed out to Christian who i run with.
Nice weather so i went for t-shirt, for about 2 steps outside then i changed to long sleeved.
No viking here. hehe

We went out in nice pace around 5.20 witch was our goal.
Today we weren't out to get speed just the distance, I was a little nervous since my legs been hurting also.

Im glad i have someone to run this long distances with. Ok an ipod works,  for about an hour or so.

My plans never work out!
My big plan was today to rest, as any normal person would have after my legs hurt so much yesterday.

Talked to Christian earlier today, we were supposed to run together.
So I said I would come down and support him at the track.

Couple of hours later i was changed and standing there, there went my plan.
Thinking wtf i can warm up with him and then do some stretching.




The warmup went really good didn't feel anything in the legs.

To was 1000m (1km) sprints, and after the good warmup I said that i would
do them also but in the same pace as warmup.

I let him start first, then i ran after.
Didn't take until i was up at his back, and it wasn't he who was running slow.
Did the first under 4 min and thought this is gona hit me back, but felt quite good.

Did an second and third under 4 minutes also.
But on the third i started to feel a little in my shinsplints so I stepped off and Christian did the rest 3 remaining on his own while i was stretching.



Then I joind him for a cool down run.

Totaly got 10km today, way waaay more than I expected.
Feels a little good =)





Today I got my first pair of trail running shoes, going to be fun to try them after Stockholm Marathon.

Went out for training tonight, really looking forward to it.
How often do you look forward to do Hill sprints??!!

This is my last "quantity" week, next is also one but i have my son then.
So my plan is to max out this week.

So what happens, I get out start running slowly due to my legs are feeling a bit stiff.
After 2-3km my shinsplints (benhinnor) starts to hurt as hell!
Tried a couple of Hill sprints, but was way to painful, so aborted and went home.

I have had a lot of trouble with my shins this Winter and the last couple of month it has worked really good. So feels like sh** that it has come back now. Worst timing ever. Ok, could be worse, could be
the day before Stockholm marathon.

It's not the whole world, it's like your driving your car and bird shits on the windshield right in the line of sight right after your windshield wipers stopp working.

I think the worst part is mentally, have been preparing so long.
You dont want to fall just in front of the Start line.

So now trying to figure out what to do last month now.
Hopefully I am ready, just want to be in the best shape possible.
But been without pain is prio 1, so resting might come in mind ;)

Diclofenac (voltaren) vill hopefully help also.


Right now sitting with my tens, worked out earlier this year quite good..




Bit grumpy, cutting down on sugar and sweets also.
Man i'm almost dreaming about Tony the tiger running around with a box of froosties, hehehe
Since i have a 4 year old i have an cabinet with cookies and stuff. 
Does not make life easyier...

Today is exactly one month left for Stockholm Marathon 2012!

For a couple of month ago, a bad day was like: It long time left, there is time to catch up.
Now is when everything should fall in place.

I feel like i have done my homework, and I shouldn't have any bigger problems
reaching my goals, but it's not going to be a walk in the park.

I have missed some training according to my schedule, but I get sick and I have my son that always comes before training. With that I think I've done pretty good.



Today i had an short run on my schedule.
I like thoose, hehe

8km of easy running, should have run around 5min /km pace but faster on some parts.



My watch keeps dropping the pace and gets stuck, sometimes it thinks i'm even walking.
Really annoys me when stuff isen't working when you're out training.

I even found a little friend to run with, since we had the same pace =)





A lot of running this week: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
Think around 75km totally. This week and next are the 2 last major weeks.
Then i'm starting to cut dow, and hopefully be at my best in one month from now.

Vart en grymt skönt lång helg, bara lång helg är skönt så detta var väldigt bra.
Enda som gick ganska kasst var Söndagens löpning.

Valborg
Jobbade hemifrån på dagen, hade några projekt så tiden gick ganska fort.
Efter lunch kom lite värme så man kunde tom sitta ute på baksidan =).

Sen ramlade Stefan ner, eller klättra snarare upp med tanke på att jag bor några höjdmeter högre upp.
Drog fram grillen och fixa lite inför Valborgs grillen på kvällen.

Runt halv 7 tiden började alla trilla lite, vissa tidigare vissa senare.
Ingen nämnd ingen glömd (för jag kommer fan inte ihåg allt från kvällen =)

Vart en riktigt grymt trevlig kväll.
När vinflaskorna ställdes upp tänkte jag inte en chans att dom går åt, det gick en till tom, hehe
Min master plan var att drick 3st folköl.

-Ska du ha ett glas
- ahh vafan
*1 timme senare*
- Jag hämtar en till flaska
