High on the Mountain Tops - Ringsaker

It was my New Year's resolution to do something I've never done before.  So back in March I signed my husband and I up for the Oslo Marathon - 10K for Grete. Now, it is only 25 days left!!  Will we be ready?!

In preparation, we went hiking "high on the mountain tops" in our area around Ringsaker county.



Here we are after hiking almost 20K.... 
which was not planned because we decided to go a different way back, that was double the distance, instead of going the original route with bogs (myr) everywhere.  
We were exhausted and still wet from those blasted boggy areas!

Our children even joined us for some of our hikes.
We are hoping that they will join us for the Oslo Marathon next year. 
As for this year, they just want to be spectators.

Going barefoot!

 This was taken at Moelv Runden and just before we got caught in the downpour.
Thought my mobil phone wouldn't work after that but after it stayed in front of a fan for a few days and a new battery, it works just as good as before.

 We made some friends along the way!

 
"What does the cow say?"

 Look... it's snow up at Øyungsfjellet, Ringsakerfjellet.
Snowball fight, anyone?




 WE DID IT!
We completed all 10 hikes in this brochure!
YiPpY!  :-)

The jogging still continues...
Made it back in just a few minutes before the thunderstorm began.
