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 :)

Friløbet 2010

And so I have completed my second goal in my marathon training!!

I ran 10km in Friløbet in Copenhagen today. It's a great run where you start outside Østerbro Stadium, run by the lakes, into and around Tivoli, back by the lakes, through Fælledparken, and then into Østerbro stadium!

The weather was almost perfect. No rain, no sun, just lots of clouds :) I was running a little into the wind on the way back from Tivoli by the lakes but it was nothing that really mattered.

My official time was 1 hour and 26 seconds!!!

Now I know that this time is not so good as my other "10km's". This is because my Nike+ sportband hadn't been calibrated so where I thought I was running a 10km it was more like a little under 9km.

The good news is that I actually beat my old "10km" time by over 2 minutes and did it in 55 minutes and 4 seconds!!

I, of course, have calibrated the sportsband now so am looking forward to my next 10km run to try and beat my time :)

Goal number 3 is calling and that's a 15km race! Probably the Nike Marathon Start-up on 31st October :)

Just Another Morning Run

I ran up to Latimers school and back again this morning :)

This time I used my younger sons lightweight 3 wheel buggy and actually ran the same pace as I do without it!

It's 4km there and back so I'm able to do a little run everytime I have to take Latimer to school. It was so mucher easier with the little buggy :)

10km Down, Just Over 32km To Go!

WooHoo! I ran my first 10km today in 1 hour, 5 minutes and 21 seconds :-)

It was very hot and sunny and also windy.

Well i'm very confident about my 10km race at the end of the month now.

I did a great course through the amager fælled, along by the water at islands brygge, over the bridge, back along by the water on the other side, over the bridge by fisketorvet, through the fælled again and along ørestads boulevard.

6km Run

August 26th 2010-I ran 6km this evening in 39 minutes and 40 seconds. I know this is a slow time! I didn't want to go to fast as this was the first time I had run so far. I thought it would be a good idea to just take it nice and easy.

Because I took it so easy I believe I could have carried on for a few more kilometres as I still had so much energy after the 6km. I didn't run any further though because I know it's a good idea to built the distance up slowly and with my knees I didn't want to risk an injury.

I am planning on running 7 or 8km on Sunday again at an easy pace.
