Save Gotham Relay – With Batman, Robin and Batgirl

Running reflex runs are always fun. It’s always a magical feeling to be out in the woods, alone and just navigating through dark trees with the help of your headlamp and a few small marks on the trees. In Sollentuna, close to Bögs Gård, and new reflex trail loop has recently been created. It’s loop that will be up just for this season and taken down again when spring comes. Hope it will be a long winter… 

Normally, a small group of runners meet up every Thursday to race this loop to become the Batman or Batgirl of the week. Why Batman/Batgirl you say? Well. Try the loop and you’ll understand.

Last week, the group had decided to make it a relay competition and I was invited to join. Its been open for everyone to join before, but running fast for a few Ks isn’t want I enjoy the most. Racing fast simply isn’t what I think is most fun to do. But boy was this fun. Tough of course, and I got that feeling of both chest pain and out of breath which the reason to I don’t enjoy to run fast, but despite this. The feeling of doing something fun with like minded people, the feeling of control when running fast through the woods all added up and I thought it was a super evening. On top of that, I did a lot better than I thought it would so of course it became a great evening.

If you’r up in Stockholm, Sollentuna, then try this course. Its great fun.

Thanks Gunnar and Maria for a great evening.
