Feels good to be back at a 5min/km pace on the mixed surface hilly run I tend to do. I'm sure a few days off and going for beers with friends this weekend will reset the progress, though

Last Sunday's 21 km, 1300m elevation, day-trip is still making itself felt in my legs, but not complaining #Hiking #Norway

When we got back from Hong Kong it was straight into work mode for me. However, shooting RAW gives me an excuse to take some time and go back to edit and reminiscence now weeks later. It was real! #HongKong

Plane fuelled, luggage loaded, all boarded, but we are missing the Captain. FO said he's coming over from a flight that arrived late, and assured us that he's moving to our plane at warp speed

I'm neither Norwegian, nor from a country with a monarchy, but living here and happening to be in Oslo in the week of the funeral of the late king Harald V does give a sense of solemn occasion

We certainly chose the wrong week to do a couple of days with team workshops in Oslo, but rescheduling wasn't an option either despite the king's funeral. At least we'll be well protected with all the police presence

We would not have minded to stay a bit longer in Hong Kong, and apparently the feeling is mutual: flight out delayed by 40 min so far

Instead of enjoying a climb up Asahidake in perfect weather and an onsen afterwards on this 山の日 holiday, I'm stuck indoors with a runny nose and sore throath from having been around my wife's nieces and nephew. The mountain won't run away, but those kids will grow up fast, so it's worth it
