On the trainer at the gym.

I think Dec. 26 might be my favorite day of the year. I feel so much more relaxed after weeks of stress over Christmas...getting everything ready, buying presents, putting up the tree, cooking, cooking, cooking. I'm thinking that next year, I might propose a family trip vs. Christmas at home. More and more folks I know are doing that, especially as their kids get older. It seems like a much more enjoyable way of spending the holidays.

And this year, I had the added stress of my unexpected trip to Norway (taking away so much Xmas prep time) and starting a new role in my new job, which quickly turned very stressful (the tear-inducing stress, at times).

So, this morning I'm heaving a big sigh of relief, planning the Xmas take-down (by Jan. 1, at the latest), and looking forward to getting back into my routines and starting back up with training. I must be in shape for this summer!

Barre class. After having not done this in about a month, it was extra difficult. I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow.

Ack!! The dreaded "Get started using your log."

It was a very wet, grey, and cold day, so late in the afternoon, I headed to the gym for some cycling. I had spent the day cleaning, grocery shopping, catching up on mail, doing all of my orienteering chores, and basically getting all caught up from being gone for 2 weeks. I do like to go on trips, but I always love coming home again.

Jeg gikk på en liten rolig tur i Bærumsmarka. Dagen var grå og våt, men deilig, alikevel.

A visit to the palace.

I made it to Norway. The flight wasn't as bad as I remembered. I had a wonderful dinner tonight with Therese and another classmate at Therese's apartment on Camilla Collette's vei. Tomorrow is a little jaunt around Oslo.

A short loop around Marit's neighborhood with Marit and Bob. It felt like a running club.
