Wonderful week

Last week was a really good week.
Four lectures and preparations for the seminar I had yesterday.
I also went on a date in Göteborg, watched Rise of the planet of the apes and had a great time. Good movie and a good day.

I didn't run in Skatås, but ran Lunnarundan. Last time I ran it was before Göteborgsvarvet. I thought I would get a time between 43 and 45 min. I kept a good pace and realized I could get a better time. When I stopped my watch it said 40 min 46 s. Season best! 4:27 min/km. I had my Forerunner 305. 9,15 km it said.

It was also a wonderful week spiritually. First a chill night in the YSA centre in Göteborg with Japanese theme. We made sushi, first time ever I tried it. Neither disgusting or tasty. The evening ended up with a anime movie. Then a fireside on Sunday with Elder and Sister Oaks as speakers.

That was a short summary for last week.

I have run once and had the seminar so far this week. I didn't have any expectations, but felt it could gone better. Tough to defend something you don't support. The best thing is to take the good things and things you can improve on and use it in the next seminar or task.

The running in Skatås was great. The rain was kind and waited until we were done. We ran in the forest, real cross country. I was glad that I had my long legged running trousers.
I think to run in Skatås on Thursday and home on Saturday. Three times this week would be fantastic.

Run well!

Back to school

After almost three months holiday, I'm back to university and my second term.
I will have two classes this term. "Democracy and welfare" and "Law in Public administration". Will be interesting. Right now we focus on theories of justice and democracy.
I have run three times after the trip to England. I have taken walks and tried to to some workouts, but I just count the times I go out running or playing sports or do any planned activity longer than 15 minutes.

The first training was on a Monday two weeks ago. We had a 2 km warm up jog and ran about 9 km with short intervals. It rained heavy when we ran. All my clothes I wore were soaking wet. It was an experience to run in that weather. I don't think I have done it before. Only in drizzle. I kept a 5 min/km tempo. So about 45 minutes. I pushed wrong button and reset the stopwatch.

The second training was a bit hilly. 6 times uphill and rushes when we came to a hill while running.
I missed a tram to Skatås. I took the next one and had to run to the club house. Less than a minute to leave my stuff before the others ran away.
It was a good run. No rain this time.
I want more and more buy a GPS watch. Both these trainings have been hard to memorize where we ran and times. So I bought a Garmin Forerunner 305 the same day I had my third training.

The previous trainings were on Mondays. The third was on a Thursday. Which means long distance running. Running for 1h 15 min. I ran in the group which kept 5 min/km tempo.
I ran 15.06 km in 1h 14 min 44 s.
It was my first time to run over 10k, so it felt nice. The weather was brilliant for running.
The Forerunner worked very well. I have played with it more afterwards.
Virtual partner seems interesting. You put a time and distance and have a virtual opponent. Nice when you want to run faster.

School, institute, church and running. I wont be bored, but the rain haven't helped my motivation. I think I'm a weather person.

This will be an interesting week and hopefully a great one.

So long!
