Rain run

While there is still some melting snow in the forest, the last month has been exceptionally dry here in Umeå, something that seems to have been the general trend throughout much of Europe this spring with prolonged droughts in the Czech Republic and elsewhere.

Waking up to the rain hammering down, I spent the morning hours grading Thursday’s graduate theses before heading out for a quick run in my Nike Odyssey which I have not used since that morning in Malmö four months ago. Completing my weekly running goal of 70 km, I am currently 57 km ahead of pace with regard to my goal of running 3,700 km this year so I am still on track despite all the race cancellations and being sick back in March.
