Escape from boredom

Had my first bike ride this year three days ago, nothing really special about that, just me not wanting to go bike riding when its cold…which makes no sense since it was only 3-4 degrees above celcius that day, but enough about that. What made the ride a bit special was the amount of wild life I saw during that long hour I was outside. One dog, which was a bit to curious and almost seemed to want to block me. And then three rabbits running scared in front of me (why run in front of me on the road, why not just go left or right and hide in the bushes?). And then a flock of mooses, not really sure 5 to 8 I think, it was a bit dark so it was hard to tell. Then later I meet the one on the picture, standing in the field next to the road and just as I was next to it, he decided to start to run slowly (but in the same pace as me). And after 100-150 meters out on the road and stopped in front of me. What seemed to be several minutes, but most likely was just 30 seconds, we had a staring battle before it decided to continue to run and then leave the road. A couple of minutes later the same happened again, but this time I was able to get by it so it could not block me.

Spent last Friday working from Sund, the place where I grew up just outside of Hemnesberget. After having spent several hours troubleshooting it was a relief that I finally could head out for a quick run. Still a lot of snow in the mountains so running to the hills was not really an option, but then I realized that I could not even remember having been to Sundsmarka ever, always a first time for everything. So first goal was Sundsfjellet, photo taken towards Hemnesberget with Sundsholmen in the middle.

And here at Memmerhaugan (never knew the name, but found it on the map) towards Prestenget, Ramnflåget and way behind Snøfjellet

Last Thursday after having spent 13 hours sitting on the train from Oslo to Mosjøen, and a couple of hours sleep I needed to go for a quick run. The weather was very good, actually still pretty hard snow which made it easy to run (should have had more time and a pair of skis…).

Running from Helsemvika, and now looking back towards Helsemvika and Stranda

to the top with no name (at least according to the map), 222 meter

Earlier today spinning to Danko Jones “Wild Cat”. Just perfect while training, but do not believe I will play it several times – if listening til Danko I will be playing the old stuff.

What to do when I fall asleep together with #3 at 19:00 and Elin wakes me up at 22:30 telling me that I still sleep and needs to prepare for bed (after having tried to wake me up twice). Well, I got up and headed down in the basement to do what I had planned this evening anyhow, some alone quality time on the spinning bike. Listened to the latest album by Johnossi “Blood Jungle”. Good one, served the purpose and I might even listen to it several times while working out (did also listen to the album at work today).

Got this one in the snailmail here the other day, prooving that I have found all posts for Turorientering 2016. I did not find all for Stolpejakta, I was to late – when out yesterday trying to find the last poles around Eksismoa – they where all taken away for this year. Better off next year.

I wanted to run from Hol I power plant, but it was a bit to steep, therefore I had to walk. The sportstracker app died twice on the way up, therefore “Start” at the top. Almost an hour up and down.

Basteheia Rundt today together with friends and family, nice weather, exhausting and fun. I really enjoy being able to run again after many years with legs not working.

Two days ago I had some spare time when me and the rest of my colleagues arrived in Fredrikstad, so I took a quick run. Could have been the last thing that I did, I must admit that I was not aware of all the wild animals – good thing they stood still so that I could take a picture of them

Found this stairs, since the steps was just really iron rods it was really hard to see where to set the foot down when walking (run) up and even worse down.
