| Getting out fo a long run in the forest. Brought a map with the long course I set for the Club´s Night O Champs in September and ran part of that. I was surprised to see so much snow still in the forest - I got the impression earlier that it was beginning to melt. In these parts of the forest there was still lots though, which made for some heavy running in a lot of knee-deep snow. When I got to the third control I cut the course short after having already been out for 55 minutes...

| After getting down to the road/Bjusanvägen and running there for a couple of minutes I strained my calf again (right) and had to walk for a while before I managed to start jogging/limping the last bit on trails back home again. |

| Vintercupen #4 at Skräddarbacken
A rather nice evening and decent conditions for running in the forest. A bit of snow - sometimes with a hard crust that carried my weight - but also quite a bit of snowfree ground. Temp around 0C.
The course was in two loops and I had a decent run the first time around. Some of the controls were visited twice so the second time around it was easier to those controls, but I also had problems with one of the 'new' controls that I eventually skipped when I found the next control instead. As usual I had problems with my battery that died with two controls to go - I just never get around to getting a new one... This slowed me down a bit in the end, but I had an extra small light with me so I could complete the course.
Maria came with me and did the Short course, which basically was just one of my loops with a few variations. Not a very easy night O course for D14 so I´m impressed she completed the course (except for skipping the same control I did)!

| Running home from Skräddarbacken with a head-lamp. A little map-reading to turn at the right places in some tricky trail junctions, but mostly the map was not needed. Temp. -2C, trails were still quite snowy. |

| Tonight was our turn to do the TNT cooking. Birgit helped me once more since Kennet was unavailable again. We made mashed potatoes and meat sauce topped off with some mint chocolate squares for dessert. |
