I did hitch a ride with Torgrim last Wednesday home from work, this is the view we had when passing by Råmyra

An old pair of shoes and two new ones
My old pair of running shoes, the Mizuno Wave Hayate 2. According to this review http://runnerclick.com/mizuno-wave-hayate-2-review/ it has oustanding traction, but I disagree. A bit moist conditions and I do not trust the shoes at all, the conditions needs to be all dry and not a single rock or tree root for me to trust them. And the shoe sole has started to loosen from the shoe on one of them after what I consider pretty lightweight usage. So, no more Mizuno for me.
So yesterday I passed by the Sport1 outlet next to Oslo City and found two new pair of shoes which I do expect will perform way better. The Inov8 Artic Claw 300 – which is actually a winter running shoe with 16 spikes, but I will use them as terrain shoes in summer time as well. I expect them to have very good grip at all times, even in very wet conditions on rocks and tree roots. The other one, Asics Fuji Runnegade 2, does not have spikes but I also expect the grip to be way better than the Mizunos. Both shoes 700,- pr. pair, so a very good price as well.
So now I cannot complain about the shoes when in Sweden in 30 days – all ready for Icebug Challenge.

Fresh start
Not much, but it is a start – one cloudberry
Sootkanalmarsjen for the first time
Today I did for the first time the “Sootkanalmarsjen” (Soot channel march) together with number #1 and #2, click here to see the GPS tracking at Sportstracker. First of all, the diploma earned – and to make things perfectly clear, not my 28’th time, but the 28’th year the march is arranged.
The kids looking at one of the sluices, I do believe it is sluice #14 Dines Soot
Time for a break, which they had deserved.
Things to look at
And the grand finale, a swim in Setten.
Flat start of the day
No more cold feets
My latest book "Det Svenske sviket", Eirik Veum
“Det Svenske sviket” reveals that many Swedes were not “brothers” nor supported Norwegians in their struggle against the German occupation power and their Norwegian allies. The book shows how in many cases the Norwegian resistance struggle was opposed by Swedish citizens.
Interesting, but could have been a bit shorter without me complaining.
Running nearby Henningsvær – Glomtinden
Yesterday we arrived at Henningsvær and the weather forecast was not that good so I decided to go for a late run yesterday evening. Drove to Rørviksvatnet and parked on the side of E10 and ran/walked up to Glomstinden. Must admit that my legs are tired after last week hardships, so I went pretty slow. So a good thing that this top is easily accessible. I was actually told today that the fishermen used back in the days to climb up to this top to try to forecast the weather. Just a quick walk and they could see all the way to Vestvågøy in the west, all of Vestfjorden and Hamarøy in the east. Hence the name “Glomtinden”, the “staretop”

Almost back to the car, Rørvikvatnet was very calm this evening.
