Training Log: Samantha

Morning run in Hågadalen and down to get a checkpoint, just for something to do. ANother absolutely beautiful day here - 18C and clear blue skies. Does not get much better :) Racing tonight up in Sundsvall, then the final Silva League races this weekend.

Long day at work, followed by dinner out with my coworkers. I do't spend enough time with them outside of work, since I try to go to trainings in the evening. But it was really nice :)

Dragged my lazy self out of bed at the early hour of 8am. I go to work late on Mondays and Wednesdays and I have to start being better about using the time in the morning. Headed out into the most beautiful morning and ran through the valley and by the burial mound. Since the sun comes up at 4.10am, it was fairly high in the sky by the time I set out. Have I mentioned how awesome late spring is in Uppsala? :)

And came home to do some strength. While running backbana I noticed that my arms got tired going uphill and I felt wobbly going downhill. Weak! So, more strength please.

Tonight will also be super awesome, as I'm heading into Stockholm to run the Team Sprint with Sarah-Jane in Skansen, the open air museum. First time running a sprint relay, I think. (No, wait, did the Speedy Goat once). Good practice before World Games :)

C • At Djurgarden! 2

Helped out with U-Ringen, which is a series of orienteering events for kids. We had about 400 8-16 year olds. Many of them were quite adorable :) I helped man the computers, because Ross was in charge of that part. Things went fairly smoothly. All the problems that occurred Ross knew how to solve :) Freezing cold though, because some clouds rolled in and the wind started to blow and all I was doing was sitting at a computer... brrrr...
