Tuesday 5k

The GPS has serious problems on "Nokia avenue" in between high buildings...

Legs still feel a bit heavy from 10k on Saturday. Pace is 4h marathon pace, or around 5:32 to 5:40min/km.

Sunday 12k

Slow 12k today. Felt fine until about km 7 or 8, then it was more work to get home. I should learn to eat and drink better during  the run since takes more than one hour.

Only three weekends, four weeks, until the planned half-marathon. I'll try to do 14k next week, then 16k two weeks before the event, but then probably ease off the week before the half-marathon, which is 21097.5 m long.

Through "micke-midlife's" blog I found a new Finnish running site last week, www.42195.fi

Sunday Seven

Long time no run (outside, that is). Snow is a soft and forgiving, if not very fast, surface to run on. Recommended.

Made another PIKANTO on Saturday, this time with a clear gelcoat. Will be interesting to see it out of the mould on Tuesday or Wednesday, stay tuned.

Sunday 8k

2009nov15_8k

Any snow and ice that was on the streets is gone again and +4C with little wind is quite ideal for running. 8.10km in 54 minutes makes for a leisurely 6:46min/km pace.

9k jog

I haven't completely forgot to exercise, but the lack of daylight and cold temperatures make it, at least mentally, a bit harder to get out there and run.
