Lottery

In a sudden stroke of luck, I was just given a starting place for Göteborgsvarvet next Saturday. Having run it with Anna in the heat of 2024, I had no road racing plans at all for the moment, as my focus is fully on the Essex Way Ultra in July. But despite my failure to beat my previous PR along the shores of Lago Maggiore back in March, I would have regretted turning down the opportunity of a free race bib. At the same time, I am not going to attempt anything too crazy, as I do not want to risk any injuries leading up to my big race in England.

Otherwise, today I registered my 5,000th activity on Strava, which is kind of wild when you think about it. With the rain now falling, I guess my 5,001st activity will be the gym with William, as we plan to go for a bit of strength training on our way to the library. Having finished all three books in the Hunger Games series, I hope his next book will be slightly less scary, so that his dad does not get PTSD from reading to him in the evenings.
