As I was at my mother's cottage in the deep woods of Sweden and not, as it were, in NYC, I had limited spectators on my run. But hey! The sheep looked interested (and
interesting, I was getting a bit peckish) and the birds fled as I flew, so I'm not complaining. It was a brilliant mid-autumn afternoon, with the sun hanging low in the sky and all leafs just barely starting to change colours.
And of course I documented it for you! Here we go:

All pinned up and rearing to go! |
|
The start/finish line spectators. |
|
Autumn is coming. |
|
The road goes ever on. |
|
Race marker? |
|
Oh no! An obstacle! |
|
"Oooh! Perhaps a bit of speed here..." |
|
Yours truly. Bare chest free of charge. |
|
Stonehedge ala Farmville |
|
Home! Finished! |
|
The race shower area... |
... but I tell you though, the water was damn cold! It's a ground water lake with no inlet and as the nights get cooler (plunging down towards 0 degrees C soon) bathing gets harder. But it remains the best place in the world to sit and relax after a run, with nothing disturbing the silence except the wind in the trees and perhaps the occasional splashing fish.
that looks like an awesome place to run! Thanks for sharing it! I especially love the mile marker! (I'm a surveyor by trade and old monuments like that are awesome!)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like lovely country!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures -- too bad you couldn't be in NYC with us, but its great to have the virtual runs shared, especially when yours is pretty much the opposite of New York :)
