Sentrumsløpet
I competed in the Sentrumsløpet today, a 10 km running race around the streets of Oslo. I am the fattest I have been in my life, I am the most out of shape I’ve ever been in my life, I am nursing an achilles heal injury and rather insanely decided that competing in this thing would be a good way to kick my arse off the couch. Well it did kick my arse of the couch indeed, but I swear almost killed me in the process. 61.5 mins later I felt like I was about to pass out. Thankfully there were 4500 smoking hot Norwegian girls to admire enroute, so it was all worth it 🙂
Below are some photos of my work colleagues and myself.

Arctic adventure in Tromsø
Harriet Geoghegan and I travelled to the little city of Tromsø way up in the Arctic circle. I never thought I would travel that far north in the world, but it seems I was wrong!
Harriet Geoghegan. I took this photo whilst walking from our cabin into Tromsø city center.

Kiwis in Kiwi!
So I moved to the other side of the planet, and one of the first shops I see is called “Kiwi”!!! So I walk in, expecting to see nothing but Kiwi paraphernalia, sheep, rugby crap, buzzy bees etc. and what do I find? … groceries. Groceries, groceries and a few more groceries. Why do they call the grocery shop “Kiwi”? No idea. Norwegians are weird.
In semi-related news, the word “Kiwi” in Brazil refers to a homosexual man with excessive body hair, and in many other countries it is used to refer to “Kiwi fruit”.

Conroys dam
During a skating expedition in July 2011, we stopped in at Conroy’s dam near Alexandra. There was no ice to be seen, but the lake was a beautiful crystal clear mirror.
Dave Patchett gazing out onto the lake. I wonder what he was thinking about?
