Running track

When parking the rental car at the dinosaur exhibition in Skellefteå, I realized that the open gates at Norvalla meant that I could sneak in to the running track for a few laps. Sharing my excitement about this discovery with my colleague Rolf, he told me that the same was true for the track right here on campus in Umeå.

Considering that I have been looking for a chance to train on a rubberized track for years, it is kind of funny that it has been possible all along on my doorstep, had I only dared to push the gate open. Said and done, today I extended my lake run with a 3:45 min/km sprint around Campus Arena which felt absolutely awesome.
