No running, hiking instead

Hopeless day for running. Snowing all the time and zero degrees, creaky snow. So I went hiking, 2 km. About 110 m ascent. Path not bad, the snow had been compacted by many hikers.

Near the top I spotted a lone runner trying to do more than jog, snail style. Enough said.

Enjoyed the table under the elms, though I wouldn't want to sit there. So here's a picture.

Oh, by the way, I ran most of the way down. That was fun.

Good walk uphill in the snow and a nice run downhill is the correct way 5K Couch, nice wintry photo, where is that?

skiforeningen.no/utimarka/o... It's a map of cross-country skiing trails. Look for "Almedalen" at the end of the marked trail.

Not what you're looking for?
