Trail run 1:04:30 [3] 12.54 km (5:09 / km) +142m 4:52 / km
Oops, need to learn to pay attention to details. I saw that Rockgympa was on the calendar, but did not read that it was set for next Monday. So I showed up and set up the gym, and waited for everyone to get there.... it was pretty clear that I had made a mistake by 6pm, and then I packed it in and went home to start a ham (after christmas sale, 60kr for 3kg) baking in the oven and took the opportunity to go for my 6th run in 6 days!
Headed out without a plan and without a headlamp. Oriented quickly towards Hågadalen and then it was so beautiful with the snow in the moonlight that I did a lovely loop in Nåsten. Really just a perfect night for running. At the farthest point south, as I was turning back, I glimpsed a perfect postcard of a view of a dark purple cloudy sky as a backdrop to a dark barn with a gleaming roof covered in snow.
Running in the dark with only reflected moonlight is kinda like running without contacts or glasses for me... comfortably fuzzy.

Trail run 57:19 [3] 9.6 km (5:58 / km) +160m 5:31 / km
Starting from home, then off to the animal facility to check on the mice, then a quick tour in Nåsten before coming back just in time to sneak in a load of laundry. I like living in Blodan. 45 minutes later, when coming to take out the laundry, I ran into Niklas and Joanna who were patiently waiting for the Machine 8 to be emptied before starting their own laundry.
They are both coming to the Linné ski camp at the end of the month!
Anyway, the run was nice apart from slipping on a snow covered rock near Kung Björns Höjd. I came down pretty safely but still knocked both my elbows. Damaged pride and a keen deja vu feeling from when I fell just before Christmas on the front steps.

It was snowing. Fresh powdery snow is nice! Starting from the animal facility and heading out without a plan. Made my way onto Gula Stigen and worked my way south and then back along vårdsättra vägen.

Trail run 1:00:00 [3] 10.0 km (6:00 / km) +47m 5:52 / km
Out into Nåsten again, this time from the apartment. Worked my way south taking a series of smaller trails without much of a plan. Came across a lot of owl watchers and saw two big beautiful owls that they had all come out to see. No Bubo bubo sightings, but a slagugglan and a lappugglan if I understood their Swedish properly.
The garmin ran out of battery. Nice to get a sun in during the daytime hours.
