So, Sunday again... And time for distance running.
Scheduled distance: 25km

My legs still tired after the week, but 25k in 5.20 m/km pace shouldn't be a big problem.
Very cloudy this morning, the forecast was sun and bit colder that i thought i would be -4c.
Put sportdrinks in 2 of 4 bottles just in case, hoping not to need them.

Then pace was very even and a lot long hills today.
The hills felt pretty good in the legs but otherwise went very smoothly.

After about one hour the sun started to show up its always nice, and gave some more energy.
At 23/23 km I wasent deadly tired but i rather be some other place, ehhe

Arrived at the Stadium with 25,5km so i took a lap around to get a flat 26.
A couple of others joined me too, actually almost everyone.




It was an nice run, and the distance are getting long now.
Quite tired after, went for an coffe with Anton and an friend and then grocery shopping for the week.

Gona sleep really well tonight =)


This weeks goal

Quite happy that i got 58km this week, even i had my son.
Ok , I maybe could pushed 2 more to get 60, hehe

Had an nice Saturday today.
Always nice when spring is coming.

Really sunny today, but it wasent really warm.
Looked warm sipping an Espresso in kitchen looking out at least, hehe

Today we did some cleaning up in the garden, maybe a bit early.
But nice having it done when you really want to get outside.

Been really wasted last weeks, so incredible tired.
The motivation hasen been so high either.

But i got some things done =)

Saturday the 18th , Paul van Dyke was supposed to play at Mondaybar XL here in Stockholm.
But he had to cancel that play, but we went there anyway. I was running the next day
so I took place behind the steering wheel. It was good, but I have at better parties.

Went home and happily changed for an run after work today.
While changing nature decided to add some wind and snow to the challenge.

I did not se any snowing (except during the day) and no wind that cough my attention.
Or i probably be at the gym on the treadmill with an soja machiatto con leche and extra long straw.

During biking season you look at every flag for wind strength and direction to plan your afternoon
ride so you have the wind with you home. After an while you have an better knowledge of the wind
that the International airports weather staff in the city nearby. I wish i used that time to figure out how to become rich or something instead of lazy, hehe

So bad weather and the muddy snow that havet been plow away, just walked around. When you run away its like doing the moonwalk in an reflective vest and tights, your legs are moveing but the gps is not agreeing. Fresh snow is ok, but this muddy snow that is walked up is death.

People was walking backwards covered up, almost that i wanted to do some Zumba moves while running since they already thought i was say "not normal". Need to watch Zumba and learn some moves. Throw a  couple of maracas and we have Kodak moment, hehe. Probably get an car after you with some guys wearing white coats after, and they are not personal trainers !!!

The wind wasent that bad, keep the flags straight but that ice'y snow was biteing in the face. I got 2 snow flakes making an direkt hit on my eye globe, hurt like hell.

Warmed up for around 3k's and then i had 4 of them lovely 100m sprints.
Usain Bolt probably could do 100m and shower in the same time it took me to do one.

After i had an run with free intervals, today it felt more like surviving.
I tried doing some but the only thing that moved faster was my heart rate, hehe


But when you come home you're happy that you did that run =)
Im bit sore in the upper body muscles, probably ran around as flexible as an broom shaft.
