Hills are killing me

Lunch run at work, 8 heavy km, http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/uNE0opzcBmY.

The hills are killing me, sooo heavy. And it was slightly warm out today. 25-26 C in the shadow, probably a bit over 30 C in the sun. Far from Panama conditions, but I should have brought some water on the run anyway.

Feeling fresh. Before the hills....

A bunch of bulls relaxing in the shadow. 

Sheep. also resting in the shadow. Probably smarter than me, running in the sun...

Beautiful flowers, and the smell was fantastic!

Run with Noomi

More walking than running, but its a wonderful way to spend time with Noomi. Talking, about silly things and serious things. Soo gooooood!

Nice mosquito-run

Got ok from the doctor today to participate in a 10 k race in 2 1/2 weeks, if I take it as a training run. So I just had to try the distance today. Out later than usual, around 10 pm. Beautiful sunset, but so thought around 2 billion mosquitos. If they are protein-rich as ants, I dont need a recovery drink..

Took a path that would be a bit similar to the race, with a well defined hill after around 6 km. First half felt really good, second half a bit tired, and the last 2 km was so so. 46min54sec for 10 km is ok though, given rehab and all. And that I stopped and took the photo.. :-).

Down two kg!

Maybe its too early, statistics and all. But this mornings 87.1 kg gave me good motivation to continue (and actually yesterdays 86.8 kg). No eating less than four hours before going to bed, excepte maybe an apple. And tea of course.

When I go below 85 kg, I will share a Corona with my son, with the mandatory limone of course :-). Target is to go down to 84 kg as a first step, but I think I can reward myself with (half) a corona when reaching 85 kg.

Five days left to Swiss Alpine Ultra Marathon, with a tremendous amounts of swedes running. Next year, I would really like be one of them!

Time to loose!

Enough! 

Almost 90 kg is way too much for a runner. Especially for a runner in rehab. As a first step, I will go down to 85 kg. Diet starting today, and I want to see how far I can go in three weeks. I will try this, and see where it takes me:

• Smaller portions.
• A lot of sallad, beans, carrots etc.
• Apples when I get hungry between meals.
• Reduce pasta, potatoe, rice etc to a minimum.
• No eating after dinner, except maybe an apple.

If anyone has a good idea around this, I would be truly grateful. Plan is to go down below 80 kg in the end. To save my knees, to be able to run as I want. 

Fall already..?

My definition of spring is when I no longer need something to cover my ears when I run. Below +10 C, and I start to get cold, below +5 C and I definitively need something on my head.
My definition of fall is when I, yet again, need something for my ears.

Went out late this evening, around 10.30 pm, and it was coooold. My ears told me it must have been around 10 C, maybe 12. A few degrees colder, and I would have liked something over my ears- and it would have been fall.
