From "home." Across town, past Ekeby, and into Nåsten from the north. Took some tiny animal paths that ended up disappearing, bashed through the terrain a bit until I found a familiar spot, then more trails back north to Kung Björn's hill (which is closed to the public now!!!), and back through Eriksberg and Stadsskogen. Had to take a detour through town as the main street was closed because of a Sverige Demokraterna demonstration!

I love Sweden in the summer! Went for a run at 9pm, running to Stadsskogen from my current apartment, running around on a lot of small trails and a bit through the woods, and then back. Still completely light out when I got home. Nice to get a run in after a touristy day in Stockholm with coworkers.

C • Sweden...summer... 1

Easy run at Fjällnora after our research group's team building day there, followed by kayaking and volleyball. Work is hard.

From KG to the start and back from the finish

Went over to the Linné clubhouse by myself after work and picked up a map from a recent training. I did a course that started with a contours-only section, then did a window-O, and finished with a short control pick through the green. The focus for me was on keeping contact with the map even if I had to go slowly (which I did). I think the theme for these next few weeks for me will be relearning how to orienteer and how to run in terrain.

So nice to be out on Nåsten on a gorgeous Swedish summer evening. These kinds of days are when I miss living here.

Backbana in Uppsala after work. Wasn't sure what to expect. Ran at a pace that was slightly above comfortable, but not at the level of dying. Felt pretty good at that pace. I think back in the day, when I didn't suck this much, this level of effort would yield a time just under 30. Today it was 31:23, so not terrible, but not great either.

Disappointed.
