Training Log Archive: Ørret

I headed to the gravel path up above the main trail around the lake. I ran around the wide gravel trail on one side of the lake. I took a leap off onto on some smaller trails for a bit on the far side of the lake. That part was really fun but I was worried about accidentally running to Bergen so I continued around the lake. I followed this with a 30 minute cooldown walk.

Don't laugh. I ran around the lake again. I took some trails on the far side of the lake and had to walk for the latter part of a big climb. After a while of going up this hill I realized that it wasn't curving around the lake anytime soon like I thought it would so I turned around.

I followed this with about 4000 of walking and enjoying the nice day. We started a 3 lecture series on reviewing basic immunology and microbiology today so I figure I had better get in some outdoors time now. So far almost everyone I've met has been from a different country - actually haven't met a single other person from the US yet!

After attending some orientation sessions in the morning at the University I came home to take a break from school and run a bit.

I managed to get out the door finally after catching the live radio for the long finish - quite exciting to see hear about Carol and Aly and the GPS tracking was great. So I felt like running more but was pressed for time so I just ran around the lake (but the other direction so it was totally different:)). Then I ran to catch the T to meet my group for several concerts tonight. The first one turned out to be loud heavy metal so we actually came home before the late jazz concert. Too bad but classes start tomorrow so nobody felt like staying out late.

Ran around the lake again... can't seem to get away from it. I must promise myself to do a more interesting run tomorrow... or maybe when someone is back in the country who would be willing to come search for me:)

My legs were achy from walking around Oslo yesterday for hours with my orientation group. About 5 of us international students from the same program wore our "buddy leaders" out and kept deflecting their requests to go to a campus pub until 7 pm. Finally we gave in and I had the pleasure of purchasing a beer for $11. Well that's find it you're into specialty microbrews but this was just a regular beer for college kids. Ah well.

Ran around the lake but took some upper big trails for most of it. I did a few pickups at the end while running back through the sports college. I was listening to a mix from college which really got me going (Cher, a few a capalla songs, Madonna, Garth Brooks, Moxy fruvus). Yeah we were weird even in college.
