I get around
Three runs a week keep the head above water.
Oh Nostalgia! I haven’t been on those trails in years. Some I haven’t seen before at all. And I love them. And have the feeling I will be seeing more of them in the coming weeks. Much more.. Should be able to piece together a nice route. Short and intense. One that should fit into … Continue reading New old trails
The soles on the VJ Irocks are starting to slip and I have a feeling it’s going to be a steep downhill for them from now on. That was a terrible pun. Had been hoping to get more out of them than the 600km where they’re at now and I will, but how much more … Continue reading Shoe time
It could have been just an ordinary thursday. In front of the computer screen, perhaps even making half decent work, perhaps wasting time procrastinating.

My youngest daughters’ grandfather used to call them mountain–birches, which is what he grew up calling them in south Norway.

None that I … Continue reading Love the smell of birch in the evening
