No pain, just rain

Av Pelle - 26 oktober 2008 21:40

Ran 20 km's this morning in the rain. Very wet weather and I didn't see or meet any other runners at all. What's wrong with people? or is it me ...? When you sit inside your warm house looking out at the shitty weather, it can be rather discouraging to get out for a 2 hour run, but when you have spent the first 10 minutes out there, it's rather pleasant actually. You just have to get soaking wet first, then there's nothing more to it. As long as you keep on running, you wont get cold. Another thing is that you feel like a winner, since everybody else are chickening out. I used my Nike Shox shoes and that was probably the last longer run we did together. They start to feel dead. They've been OK though, but I wont buy any more of them. Asics Gel Kayano are still my favourites, but I might consider trying a pair of Reebok Smoothfit next time. Seemless technology sounds good.

Next marathon will probably be the Lucia Marathon in Bovallsstrand on Dec 13. I ran that race 5 years ago with a soft textil Lucia crown on my head. It was raining that day too and the five soft candles on my lucia crown soaked up so much rain water, so they were hanging down like long cow nipples after 10 km's, so I had to remove it, since it was slapping my face during running. It was a bit fun and I was photographed in the local paper (Bohuslänningen) and published on the front page.

Premier league: It was nice to witness Chelsea first loss in 4½ years at home at Stamford Bridge today. Well done Liverpool! By the way, the British football players never complain over bad weather. On the contrary, they seem to love it when it's pooring down. Phil Neville's interview comments, after Everton's draw with Man Utd on Saturday, was a true dedication to the British weather. That's real spirit!

I've lost some enthusiasm for blogging lately, so I will take a timeout for a while. To many other things to do and I am already spending to much time in front of the computer. So if you wonder what I'll be doing instead, I hope that the answ...

Vasaloppet 2009 is over. Very impressive results from a MC-gang perspective. 8 out of 8 succesfull finishers. My conclusion from a general view is that is all about mindset and mental power. OK OK OK, some physical abilites as well. The strongest ach...

Ready to hit the ski tracks tomorrow morning. The temperature is perfect, around -10 to -5 degrees. We have tried the tracks up around Smågan this afternoon and it's fabulous conditions. Now we are hoping for a day tomorrow without any snowfall. ...

Yes, the flu has left my system. It has really helped to empty my body from all kind of energy reserves the last 4-5 days. If I remember correct according to some old body charging theories, it's good to clean out and empty your body, before star...

Time is flying in supersonic speed, so it's good to reflect back now and then, to get a picture of what's happening in life. That's why I now and then take a glimse back in some files to check what was going on the year or years before at...
