A Nice 10k Run

I had a really good run yesterday evening :-)

It was only 10k but it was really nice to just run along listening to music!

I stayed in villa areas as much as possible because it is getting windy over here again.

The wind is what I dread most for the weather on marathon day :-(
I would prefer it to rain than to have to run in the horrible danish wind!

17 days to go...

New 10k Time!!

See my run at http://go.nike.com/a4trjju



Today I ran the first of the Nike Marathon Tests :-) It was 10k.

I beat my old 10k time by 6 seconds!! My new PB for 10k is 54 miuntes and 45 seconds.
My old 10k time I got in October in perfect running conditions. Today was cold and windy at times so I confident I can improve more when it's springtime.

The race was a 10k route around Østerbro and a little bit in Fælledparken.

I started by running with the 5:40 group but they took off a little too fast for me and by 3k I was trailing way behind them but still infront of the 5:50 group. At 5.5k there was the water depot so I stopped for a couple of seconds and had some Powerade. As usual this gave me the boost I needed :-)

I started speeding up slowly from this point and by the 8k mark I was running between 5:18 and 5:20. At 9k I had caught up with the pacesetters for the 5:40 group and by 9.5k I was ahead of them. With 300 metres to go I started sprinting as normal. I was very tired when I crossed the line!

It was a great race and I'm now looking forward to running the 15k in March :-)

Getting Lost!

First just to let you know that I have signed up for Tårnbyløbet on 14th October and will be running another 10k :)

Early evening I went for a run. I was planning on running about 6k.

This turned into an 8.5k run as I got just a little bit lost :)

The other day I was running behind a man who crossed a road and carried on running down a track. I turned a corner and stayed on the road. After 10 minutes the same man came out of a track a little ahead of me. I decided to run that way today as it looked more interesting than running on the road.

I went down the track and it was very nice with lots of little houses down it. The track was winding very much. I kept looking for a little alleyway or something that would led me to the end of the road but couldn't find one. I carried on running and after 2.5k I ended up back at the same place where I had entered the track in the beginning!

My sense of direction has never been that great but today it was totally off :(

Never mind though I had a great run and found a nice area that I can run around again :)
