Had a great run this morning around the Bygdøy peninsula in the inner part of the Oslo fjord! Well.. the roads were covered in snow.. but hey so much better than running on a treadmill!!!!!!

Found some pics of Bygdøy in winter ….. Buutiful

No running shoes for me today as I was too late – didnt get to the renowned store Løplabbet in time.

Hey – but I couldnt let that stop me so went on the treadmill with my old basket shoes running a 7.5 k. I ll spend a LOT of time in my local Friskis &Svettis gym in the next three months….

New Year – new coffee – New SHOWER

Ahhhhhhh…. nothing like waking up and you know in the back of your mind that you can go and take a shower….. A NORWEGIAN SHOWER…. i.e. Power shower with water that doesn’t smell of chlorine. Sorry for saying this my English friends. By the way – you have much better beer and you have Salt & Vinegar crisps…

…. sitting here zippin some coffee waiting for break of dawn.

Today I need to buy those golden running shoes that is going to take me through these next three months and then hopefully through the London Marathon.
