My first race

I have at least settled down from the Stockholm trip, it hasn't been much running since Göteborgsvarvet.
Just one actually. I ran, what I call, Gräppås rundan. It is 3,2 km long and only on asphalt.
I got the time 13 min and 32 s.

Thursday 9th was the day I ran my first club championship. The distance was 1000 m. I haven't run that distance since my eighth year in school. 2002. It was raining a lot in the morning. I hoped it would stop before the evening. It did, but the track was still wet. There were some small puddles on in.
18:20 was the start for  my heat. We were 6 in my class. Two ran off immediately. It was slippery and I couldn't get good grip at all. I felt I ran slow. It didn't feel fast at all and I didn't have any strength to run faster. I finished second last with the time 3 min and 18 s. The winner had the time 2 min and 50 minutes. You run fast as an African if you can keep the time I got per kilometer for a half marathon. You would get 1 h and 9 min. But now it was only one kilometer we ran and you should get faster min/km time than you have when you run longer distances.
I run in average 4 min, 52 s /km in Göteborgsvarvet.
I can only state that I'm not trained for short distances. More interval and sprint training are needed for me. Intervals are also needed so I can have a faster pace when I run longer distances as well.
Some of the runners made an unofficial 100 m race. 12.83 s was the best time. Two stretched their thighs. So the running track got its preys. :)

Here is another picture and a video clip. The pictures and video are taken with my phone. The quality of the video is crappy.

Run safely!!

Stockholm

I was at the backside of Sweden last week. Stockholm, Västerhaninge and Nynäshamn.
I had a presentation about Lomma community and traveled up the same day with my parents.
We stayed at my sisters and husbands home and at the husbands parents home.
The main reason for the trip to Stockholm was for my brother and wifes move to Nynäshamn. We helped them move on Saturday.
We made a trip on Monday to Mariefred and visited Gripsholm castle and Taxinge castle.
The building on the picture did we visit on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is the Stockholm temple.
Wednesday was the day we traveled home.
It was nice to visit the east coast. To see my siblings that lives there and my uncle.
It was great to be in the temple as well. I haven't been there since last year.
London, Preston, Copenhagen and Stockholm temples are the ones I have been to.

I haven't done any running. I have done some work outs and stretching though.
I will run a club championship this coming Thursday. 1000m at Rambergsvallen.
So I have to run tomorrow. I haven't run on a running track for years. Last time was in Gotland when I ran 3000m. I'm looking forward to it.

I had my last test on Friday. Book keeping and accounting. It felt good and felt I will pass.
Sweden played against Moldova in the evening. 4-1. So it was a good Friday.

It is great to finish of the week with church meetings and to relax.

A new week tomorrow to look forward to.

Take care!
