Run 1:52:00 [3] 19.0 km (5:54 / km)
Pretty sore in various places through the later part of yesterday after my arse-plant efforts on yesterday's run, but felt better this morning (and the most significantly sore item at rest, the shoulder, was a non-issue running).
Started out with Jim and a clubmate repeating the climb of the local hill from yesterday, but this time via a steeper and shorter route. (I was wondering why I was struggling to get traction in a couple of spots where the others were doing it easily, and then learned they had studs on, which Jim didn't yesterday). Also lacked a bit of confidence descending but a fun first half-hour. After that I peeled off for a big loop around the base of the Kolsas hill. This had some very nice stretches - ten minutes or so on gently downhill snow-covered forest tracks was a particular highlight. Not always at my best on some of the longer climbs in the second half but a reasonably solid day's work, before returning to soup and waffles (and cake for Norweigan Mother's Day) - there are worse ways to refuel after long runs.
Warmest day since I've been in Europe on the higher ground (not far below 0), although it still felt like it was close to -10 in the more sheltered valleys. Felt a bit overdressed in the warmer areas of the run but there was a certain amount of when-in-Rome-do-as-the-Romans-do there. (I'm guessing that the Norwegians are coping with current conditions better than the Romans are, not that Norwegian temperatures have been that far below normal anyway).
