Well, Sunday evenings have turned out to be pretty relaxing, nice times to run. I ran last Sunday evening (20070624) from Blindern Studenterhjem (where I'm living) to Holmenkollbakken. According to my GPS mileage tracker, I travelled 8.25 miles (round trip), but it's not so far as the crow flies (I had to do some switchbacking to run up there, as it's up on a hill). Here are some pictures of Holmenkollbakken. It's a ski jump, in case that's not entirely clear from the pictures. The first is a picture in winter. The next is a picture in summer. (I'm sure that much wouldn't have been clear!) The next is a majestic view from the bottom, and the last is the view from top—ready to jump?
Then yesterday I ran to Sognsvann. (6.2 miles r/t on the GPS.) Beautiful. Silent forsts, well-maintained trail system, picturesque views of the lake... Wow. Very nice. Here are some pics.
Add to that the Norwegian folkdancing I did tonight, and if I'm not careful, I might actually lose those 15 pounds the doctor said I didn't need! :-)
More to come...
Beautiful photos honey. I'm glad you worked on loosing those extra 15 pounds. Do you think you made headway into loosing them?
ReplyDeleteWell, you're on your way home now. I guess I'll have to find out for myself.
