| Narvik, norway.....AWESOME!!
another random day...staying with more randoms, but free internet :) got here at 630...gorgeous, still and clear night. a 700m mountain pops out from right next to the fjord, took all of 5 minutes to decide what i was doing tonight!! unreal run, much more enjoyable than yday....groomed track the whole way up. only wore thermal tho but wasnt too cold till right at the top. fantastic view over narvik.....a swedish friend of mine keeps saying she is going to live here, having been here for 3 hrs i can see why. felt a bit flat but new if i kept plodding away id get there. the powerbar that went down on the way up nearly came up on the way down. 60mins up....lamp was dying a bit so bombed it on the decent in about 20mins! i think 2moz ill take the cable car option...... | ||

| well, this was the big one.
i had been keen to do a complete lap of uppsala for a while now but always managed to talk myself out of it.....finally decided with the weather going to poo i should just get out and do it...so i did. had a bit of a psych up sess last night whilst watching the recruit. realistically i thought about 4.5 hrs would be the mark having basically done this loop in 2 seperate runs. decided that my lap of uppsala had to start and finish at ICA väst (best supermarket in town!) and go through Linné clubhouse, skirt the top of the lake, IKEA and gammla uppsala, so my route was basically given. couldnt decide whether to go thru Särvja or run the ridge back up to MIC.....in the end chose the former mainly cos id never been there and was pretty sure it was a suburb of uppsala. cracker day. nearly talked myself out of it this morning when it was cold and overcast (what did i expect!). i knew i would just be frustrated with myself all day tho so bit the bullet and got going. picked up some kexchoklad, jolt and bilar godis (with the motto......'sveriges mest köpta bil' who could resist!). it occured to me ive turned into a complete pussy after packing an spare set of thermals, light rain jacket and a beany into the bag. was good having the safety net of the uppsala bus card and only being about 500m from a bus line at any point! past club house in 18mins, found this street called Fagottvägen, ran down thru the gottsunda grassy valley, hooked up with gula stigen and to the lake in 50min, maybe a bit too hot but was rolling along nicely. round the lake to flottsundsbron. couldnt decide whether to just run the quite road into särvja or hit up lunsen....had misplaced my north lunsen map and a 5km road bash was gonna kill my legs later so compromised and found a little track in the forest b/w the 2 roads. this was a bit crap and died so i ended up just running the road. had been mostly trails up till now and was not looking forward to the cycle path bashing i knew was coming up, esp with soreness developing in the shins....but pressed on. IKEA in 1:50. bit of a struggle round the back of årsta and granby...defo glad to get to gammla uppsala in 2:40 and know i was on the home stretch. quick stop to stretch the legs, pop the jolt (red bull is nearly 3 bucks a can here, ouch!) and have some food. basically survival mode here. had thought about including stenhagen too but was pretty easy choice not to. pizza for lunch was well earned. really happy with that hit out, never felt ridiculousy crap like i did in oslo thong, the soreness in my legs no though is another reminder of why i promised myself i would limit road running. dont really know how far this was....maybe low to mid 30s....any ideas uppsala contingent? time to go do the scandinavian thing, float around in the pool and nail a beer in the sauna before swedish class. | ||
