On Saturday, while rowing, listening to the album Ride by Motor Sister. Kinda made me remember back in the days when listening to Gary Moore, it was somewhat to much blues to me which again made it hard to keep up the pace, had to switch to some random play list afterwards with more fast music
.
At the start of January I bought a used rowing machine, the Infinity R100. Last Friday I spent time on it listening to the album from Hjerteslag – “Møhlenpris Motell”. Good one
Elin dropped me off at Grepperud today when we headed home from Bjørkelangen. I did then run passing by Botnersætra and then uphill to Basterheia. At Basterheia my iPhone decided to reboot, therefore I have it documented in two exercises at Sports-tracker. When having the premium version of Sports-tracker I have Norgeskart available, making it way more easy to find my way compared to Google Maps or MapQuest which Sports-tracker uses on the web. Anyhow, from Basterheia, passing Gravtjenn – wrote my name in the training diary located there, then following a straight line down to Løken (possible since the farmers has not started spring work yet).
Nice one, will actually do this together with my kids one day, stopping at Fosser it is doable for them as well.
Screenshots from my phone showing the route
Then various pictures from the route
Last Friday I had some time and did try to run towards Trollkjerka. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to get all the way to the top, to much snow slowing me down, but in a couple of weeks it should ready for a nice run.
Using Sporstracker I did track the run, see details here http://www.sports-tracker.com/workout/rhellem/54f9776ee4b023d8f49e7219
Out running today, a bit wet I must say and also a _bit_ mud. Our neighbors has done their share of forestry work as well, pretty wet conditions which again has caused the forest road to be just a sea of mud. All up to my knees sometimes when trying to run there, needs a warm summer day or two to dry up…
Last Friday out running together with my neighbors dog, Piper. A lot of snow powder, realizing that times has changed, ten years ago I would have cried for not being able to ski in those conditions, now…well, do not have the time to bother
Starting the new year with good intentions, had a run yesterday. Quite enjoyable, but only thanks to my pair of icebugs (fear no evil, I get nothing in return for linking to them 🙂 ). A lot of ice, both on- and offroad, but using the icebugs makes it similar to running on a hot summer day.
Nice weather and plenty of time, got up early and headed for work on my bike. When at Gan I decided to go where I never had been before. Assuming that there should be gravel roads/tracks/single tracks between Gan and Hvalstjern I turned right and headed of into the woods. As usual, at some point I should have turned right but I did not, therefore the gravel road which shrunk into a single track later shrunk into almost no track, see pictures below. But no problem due to the dry conditions.
Must explore the tracks there at a later point.
All in all a very good morning, 56 kilometers and almost two and a half hour on the bike, like everyday should have been (but can’t)
Going to work really early this week, spending the first hour in the gym. Today I did not feel for the spinning cycle so I decided to try the “Total body crossramp”-thing. Strange kinda device, but it does not give me pain in the legs so once in a while it can be ok. Anyhow, spent the time listening to the new album Hypnotic Eye by Tom Petty. A bit to easy listening while doing exercise, but I might be listening to it several times.
Picked randomly from the rock category in Wimp solely based on the length of the album fitting the time I had available. Did I enjoy it? Somewhat like easy listening, will not add it to my list of favorite albums.
