This Saturday, Midnattsloppet (the midnight run) took place. It’s a 10K that takes you around the lovely island of Södermalm (one of the ilands of Stockholm?). The best thing about Midnattsloppet is that it almost feels like a festival, the city is buzzing with people that is out looking at the runners, cheering them on. Along the track there is several music venues and dancers. It is just great fun. Another quirky thing about this race is that everyone has matching t-shirts (the color changes ever year) and being part of the sea of turquoise shirts is a special feeling.

I’m kind of disappointed of my result, but I was down with a cold the week leading up to the race so I’ll have to accept that I was not performing at my best. Well, better luck next year I guess!
