Snowjog

50 minutes of light jogging while snowflakes try to find their way to the ground. Finally winter? Max heart rate 184, average 149. Now I´m ready for tonights dinnerparty. On the menu is the traditional Norwegian X-mas dish PINNEKJØTT. That is salty lambs ribs with potatoes and yellow mash turnips. Very good, but very heavy and fatty.

Food for running

In this article the marathon runner Paul Tergat explains how the simple school meal distributed through the World Food Programme enabled him to train to become one of the greatest runner´s of the world.

While the West have trouble with a steady growing oversize population - there are still people that are starving - every day.

Summary week 47

It has been raining cold the whole week, and it has not been a good week for running. On Monday I went 1,5 hour walking/jogging, on Tuesday I walked pacey for 45 min, Wednesday was spinning on the menu (indoor swetting) and Friday only walk to/from work. Not a really bad week, but not really good either.

This weeks fun has been the buy of a pulse watch. It´s exciting to train with the watch on my arm - and it´s exciting to come home and see the result.

It´s raining

End of November, and still no sign of snow. I don´t like the first 15 minutes of running in cold rain.
