Yes, what to do when the forecast says rain and I have 90 minutes free. Well, I did some MTB yesterday so why not try something different? I hate running but I am not so bad at it so that was the choice. I also brought along my stavgång poles for the hills. After about 5 minutes of decent running I felt like I was about to die so this became a stavlöpning pass instead. I have never been terribly co-ordinated so the best I could manage was a jogging pace with the poles. But actually it felt pretty useful.

Up the hill to Furulund and the 7.5km trail today since I was 'only jogging' and did not really feel tired. But over this pass of around 12.5km total I worked up some decent pain in my arms which made me actually think that this might help for Vasaloppet training. Rullskidor would probably be more fun but they are 3000kr while I have the poles already. For 3000kr I can take a weekend trip to a place with snow and ski for real. But before that trip I should probably get some waterproof running shoes. This was wet today.

So this should give me some nasty träningsvärk for the next couple of days...
