Too late …
January 2, 2008No 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
January 2, 2008Ahhhhhhh…. 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.
