A little Evening run on an Island in the Fjord

Four days ago I checked into our Summer House where we will spend the next six weeks. I feel so lucky to have this place and I can feel my stress level sink immediately.
Anyway, tonight I had my first run (out of something I hope will be many). It is a great little path, only 3,5 km, but works as a good start.

Here are my stats from Strava.

I’m happy that I did run non-stop, and I did get into a good flow, but I’m not happy about my time. I will speed it up... Today was kind of a trial run, and now that I know I can, I will increase speed!

Here are some photos from my run. At one point I’m crossing a little beach:

Narrow path in the wood.

There are also some rocky parts.

And here is the view I’m enjoying while writing this Blog Post.

I just gave you a fistbump on Strave 8-)
Amazing spot! So beautiful! I realize I'm repeating myself, but it's just the way it is :) Are you there for the summer holiday? Six weeks is really a long time, nice! I guess by the end of six weeks you should be on Marathon level ;P

Thanks! Yes, it’s an amazing spot. Norway has such diversity in nature. Repeating yourself just means that you really mean it😅. Yes, maybe It will be marathon next😂. How is your training going?

I guess your right :) My training ended last Friday. I had some friends over the whole weekend and it has been 30 degrees since. I know they are all lame excuses but now the race is this Wednesday. Let's see how that will go :p I'll try to record it on Strava!

I totally understand that training in 30 degrees is too hot. Look forward to see the recording of your race on Strava! Best of luck! 👊😊

Wow hey wait what!? slow what do you mean? This one is way faster than the run you posted last time if I remember correct? So what do you mean slow, your leveling up 🎉

@michelmake cool to read all the people motivating each other here on Steemit and Strava! What kind of race your attending today? Goodluck!

Hmm, maybe It was faster because this run does not have much elevation while my other recently runs have had about 340 meters. 😅

How did your race go @michelmake?

Thanks guys, it went quite well. Unfortunately I forgot my phone to the race start :( However, my colleague had a GPS watch. I will write a little post later with more details on the race and will use my colleagues GPS data. All in all, I ran the 5555 meter in 30 minutes and 30 seconds. Not bad for an untrained person :P

Congratulations, well done! Look forward to read the post about it😊

Hi @guchtere, thanks! The race is a 5.5k run that I do with my co-workers. It's supposed to be close to 30 degrees celcius today so hopefully I won't evaporate along the way :)
You can read about the race in an old post of mine: https://steemit.com/blog/@michelmake/my-first-double-country-run-in-months-preparing-for-a-race.

I see you windsurf! Do you go to Brouwerdam ever? I'm there whenever I can :)

@michelmake how did your race go?

@guchtere, thanks for asking! You can read all about it in my freshest post: https://staging.busy.org/@michelmake/my-first-real-race-in-a-long-time

Oh no wait what awesome another windsurfer! 😎
Never had a surf session at the Brouwersdam. Maybe it's time to go there some day!?

Oh sorry almost forgot your race after you did mention the surf part 🤣
But goodluck with the race today! It's gonna be though indeed with the temperatures. Curious to see the elevation graphs from your run.

Beautiful place you live btw!

Nydelig plass. Ha en fin ferie :)
