Exploring Kulstadåsen / Mosjøen

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…).

Spinning to Johnossi "Blood Jungle"

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).

Basteheia Rundt 2016

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.

Wild animals in Fredrikstad

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.

Marlow Grand Prix 2016

Last Saturday I attended Marlow Grand Prix – a race close to home, so I just had to get on the bike and in 15 minutes I was at the start. Fun, good training, as always I would wish that I could do it faster, but then I need to be better prepared – so I leave that for next year. What I also need to do before next year is to buy many pairs of new socks. I got caught by the style police – and if the style police have had the right to arrest without a warrant I would have been arrested for having to short socks. To my defence it was ok years ago, so I just said that I’m really so 2008’ish (believeing that it is still called Shimano LX, but I’m wrong it is called Shimano 540 … or something…)

Nybakkrunden last Saturday

Last Saturday Espen and I attended Nybakkrunden. Here mounting the bikes at the back of the car, all ready to go.

And here after the race. Espen had an accident, another biker simply crashed into him and he got some wounds but nothing seriously. But still, when he was down I did pass him, it was just about 1k after start. After a minute or two he came up to me, we talked, and then he put some more energy to it and … he was gone leaving me with my pride hurt. So now its time to start being a bit more targeted traning. I spent 10 minutes more than 4 years ago, so not happy at all.
