Saturday 3rd of June

*Measured 21K run in 1:15,35, avg.167 and high.176.


*Planed to do another 15K in the countryside. Felt miserable first 5K but then suddenly started feeling fine – opted to do my usual 21K run (I’m in Kokkola) instead of the 15. It went well. In April 2000 I was home from a training camp in Italy and in good shape – then I ran the same run full speed from start to finish in 1:26 (it’s a loop with a many small hills, mostly gravel). Now I was eleven minutes faster than then and no gritted teeth, just flowing and relaxed running. If my math is correct it’s 3:34/K which is good speed for me over this sort of distance. This run changed my mood completely. Now I’m filled with confidence after feeling low the whole week.
