I have just completed my first long run of 2010. 10kms in minus 10! I plotted a route from Årstafältet to Skogskyrkogården. It was my usual route through and around Årstafältet then I charted a route along Sockenvägen to Sockenplan and then to Skogskyrkogården.
I deliberately plotted a route that I had not run before to make it a bit exciting. Sockenvägen is an interesting road with lovely little house in Enskede Gård. I want one! But might have to save a bit first 
They were very pretty.
I then carried on to Skogskyrkogården. Now I had been here, once before with Miss P, alas it was a fair while ago, one of our first dates actually. So it was kind of fitting to have that as a landmark as she was one of the people who unintentionally set me on this running path.
Snag was the weather of course. Minus 10 and a lot of snow about. I did the 10k though and in 69 minutes. Not great but for me its all about finishing the distance right now. When I was at Skogskyrkogården last I doubt if I could have run 1km never mind 10!
So thats almost the distance I need to run for the Stockholm Half Marathon. I now have an idea of the work needed but I do have 7 months to get my act together and most importantly stay injury free!!
I just added this to my log and I have run 67kms this month! I need to push for more next month!
Rather fittingly when I came back, I was in the middle of my warm down which I do out of harms way by the cellar door. One of my neighbours rocked up in his motorbike he needed access. I moved out of the way and he said (translated for you):
-Have you been running?
-Yeah
-its minus 10, are you nuts?
Love it!
