This morning I decided to go for my normal 20 km run, from home down to Vallhamra & Skatås and then back via Partille Golf club, but today I should do it the opposite direction to get a change. After 4.5 km's I asked myself why I'm not changing course all together, so it took me half a second to decide to make a turn towards Mölnlycke and continue to Landvetter and then back home through Tahult. A little bit longer, 22 km, a little bit tougher uphill from Landvetter, but also a very nice change. New views and more easy to get mentally stimulated.

For some reason I normally like to start from home, just getting outside the house and get going. But I think that I from now on will try to take the car to some new starting points and find new courses, especially for the longer runs. Company is also nice during LSD runs but I just don't want to be to organized and committed in the calendar. Flexibility is important.

After an afternoon walk later on in the fantastic pre-winter weather, my right heel got really painful and swollen again. No good at all. Misia gave me home designed ice bandages to ease the problems and Yes, it works. First time ever that I've tried it. Cool feeling and it's probably better than using antiinflammatoric pills. I know that some elite track & fields athletes use ice treatment after their hard training sessions to avoid inflammations in muscles etc. Cool down mate!
