 | Running 50:00 [3]10.8 km (4:38 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics kayano |
| The first snow for the winter came today although by the time i went out for a run it had turned to cold drizzle and washed most of the snow away... lovely. It was a struggle for me, 50min round stadskogen felt like a marathon. |

| Running 40:00 [3]8 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics kayano |
| Running in stadskogen in the cold drizzle. The knee was a bit sore in the start but good at the end. The quads are still killing me though. I don't know how anyone gets into running, it is so uncomfortable in the beginning and then once you run a lot there is a whole new type of discomfort. |

| Running 30:00 [2]6 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics kayano |
| Another easy jog in stadskogen, the knee felt a lot better today and it even looked better as well with a lot less white puss working its way out. The old quads were really sore even running on the soft forest paths, should be back to nearly normal by the end of the week but. |

| Running 20:00 [2]4 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics kayano |
| Finally got out for a little run. It was pretty uncomfortable in the knee and the rest of the body for that matter but it was good to be back training a bit. Hopefully by the end of next week i can do some real training. |

| Nearly 4 weeks without training now and i've gone up 4kg despite going on a healthy eating blitz. Shit!
Hopefully soon i am going to start training again, the knee feels really stiff and its still a open cut but i might try it tomorrow and see if the discomfort just goes away when i run. |

| Back in Uppsala, at least its not as cold as i was expecting even though its already snowing in Dalarna apparently. I still cant run but the swedish bloke sitting next to me on the plane home had a pretty good crack at Boonies 52 beers, i dunno how many he had on the first leg but he must have had close to 20 drinks while i was sitting next to him from KL to stockholm. He couldnt walk too straight getting off the plane but he didnt mind telling me how much he loved australia. |

| Crashed the bloody hire bike on rottnest island and got to visit the rottnest nursing centre, you cant buy that kind of experience. It was a back pedal brake bike and the chain came off going down a big hill when i tried to put the brakes on. That left the bike with no brakes and a sharp corner coming up, i tried to slide the bike towards a bushy area but in the end i got a big cut in my knee plus another in my foot - i dont remeber how i happened exactly but it was lucky i was wearing shoes cos one dunlop volley was shredded. No running for me for a while. |
