Back in Sandefjord to “spring weather”. Preparing for La Paz and the flooding there…

I am back home in Sandefjord for the weekend. We had quite a bit of snow on the night before Friday so it was very hard to run in Oslo. But Sandefjord is 2 hours drive south of Oslo, and here the weather is just like spring. So I can (finally) do…

some training on cinder roads again, and it feels great on the legs.

I did a long anaerobic treshold session today, much longer then what I usually do. It was inspiring to run in the sun, 6 degrees C and perfect running conditions in the forest close to where I live. You just feel more fresh, you relax more in your running and can do more repetitions. And I will need all the training I can get now, because in La Paz……well…..it is about one meter of water in the main street “Prado” (!) and I am going there soon 🙂 Saw it on the news the other day. It is the end of the rain season. It looked really bad. I have been there when it rains before and it RAINS. And with the fog, you can hardly see a meter in front of you. And there is in no possible, physical way possible to go running…

In our original plan we thought about going there at the end of February (right now), but we delayed it a bit. So we will go early in March instead. I am really glad, I do not like watersports… I hope it will be better when we arrive, and it should. Frank is checking with La Paz right now, to see if things are improving.
