Back into training in Norway

I am back into training in Norway now after the stay in Florida. Quite chilly to get out in below 0 C weather again.

The next few days will be filled with easy work plus some on the treadmill :) Nice to see the progession you have made over…

 

Peaceful runs in the forest reserve

This will probably be the last update from the US before heading back to Norway again with plenty of mileage in my legs. Nothing like that feeling when you get on the plane.. the only thing I will miss this time is the January Kenya feeling of going…
