An enjoyable trail running Sunday. Started with steamy weather, got stung by a wasp in my back for unknown reasons, some local history lesson breaks (have a look at the image descriptions) and finally some rain showers at the end.

22.8km, 7:17/km, 668m EG

I've totally forgotten how many bangers the Danish band Gnags have made.

Put on a Best of album and set out to Den dejligste morgen (most beautiful morning) with it very much was. Then sang along to the protest song Vilde Kaniner (wild rabbits). Then it went a bit 'Pete Tong' with the absolute tunes of Går med hunden gennem byen (Walking the dog through the town) and Slingrer Ned Ad Vestergade (Strolling down Vestergade), because I blew up when - Når jeg bliver gammel (When I get old), the irony, started and I had 500m to go on the 5k. Paddy the Irish mutt my pulled me over the line, he likes running fast when there's no sticks to be played with.

Looked at my watch and it said numbers I couldn't understand, when looking through the sweat in my eyes. Walked the 1.5km back to HQ, had nothing left to do a gentle jog even when Burhøns came on.

The stats on Strava and it said I had shaved 2m28sec off my PB! So I'm in the "under 30" club now with a 27m32sec 5k, just how!?!?

I will end with this line from the song Denmark - Lige meget hvem du er. Lige meget hvor du er. Så velkommen her. (No matter who you are. No matter where you are. So welcome here)

Here the song Vilde Kaniner - youtu.be/-fk8fXTiAAo

Today's run was a trip down memorylane. Found a playlist on the streams called - Atlantic 252. Back in the 80s, I had a clock radio and loved at night going up and down the AM/MW/LW dial. Even attached a longer aerial so it was easier to tune into 1440, Radio Luxembourg, and later Atlantic 252. Laying in my bed, not daring to move, listening to Top 20 on Sundays until after midnight, with my one ear bud, finger on the dial just keeping the signal locked for best reception. Even with the quality being so low and the static I really got to listen to some good tunes that way ;)

A slow and rather short run. My left calf is quite hard.
This was the second weekend run I met a struggling E-vehicle driver on the trails. Last Sunday a young dude with an E-Enduro who struggled to turnaround on a narrow trail. Together we managed it. Today an E-mountainbiker struggled on a rather slippery and steep downhill part who declined my offer helping him down.
