Asphalt and churros

Taking on our own version of Göteborgsvarvet, Eddie and I got to have a fast-paced afternoon in the sunshine yesterday. Running 4:30 min/km whenever traffic permitted, I felt strong for most of the run even as the heat reminded me of why had decided not to race in Helsingborg.

 

Crossing Älvsborgsbron, which initially was supposed to be called “Västerbron”, I got to look out over the Western Sea, and think of the trip I made with my parents to Skagen in late July, before heading back into town where Eddie insisted on having churros with ice cream. Excluding the ferry crossing from Lindholmen to Stenpiren, our run turned out to be more or less exactly a half marathon.
