Night Running

I went over to Blindern with my friend Andrew to join in the traditional Tuesday night uphill pole run, but when it got to be 6:00 it was just us and a french guy named Hugo, which made us wonder whether we were in the right place. In fact, we were not! The run this week took place up at Sognsvann, so we jogged to the train stop and took the train up. When we got there, the group had already taken off, but we were all committed to getting the work out in, so we started off as a group of 3 (though Andrew and Hugo are both fast men, so it was really more of a group of 2 and a group of me, though they jogged back to me between intervals, which was kind). We eventually did meet up with the rest of the group, but were not on the same interval as them, so continued on as a group of 3. The sun is setting earlier and earlier, so by the time we were nearing the top of the hill and the end of the workout it was getting dark, and by the time we were running down, the sun had set completely. This meant that we got to run down the trail (which is very smooth) though the forest in what felt like the middle of the night. Completely beautiful (though I might bring a headlamp next time).
