Couldn't sleep from 2am on so I broke our Google maps and charted a run. Found a wonderful 6 mile loop which I did twice. It's still really windy here but the temperature was a balmy 50 degrees and no rain. Yippee.

It was cool looking at my Garmin and seeing the elevation was -17. Nothing like running below sea level. Full day of work ahead and then hoping to get 6-8 more in this evening.

By the way, the sun doesn't rise here until 8:15 and with the clouds, it's not really light until 8:30-8:45. I thought Seattle was bad. It gets dark around 5:15. So very short days here in the far north.

7 more miles this evening. I need to get a good meal in my belly and then sleep like there was no tomorrow.

It takes a while for your internal clock to catch up. Curious about the shorter days, as Amsterdam is hardly the "far north". That would be Lulea, Sweden where I spent a year, and saw the sun rise at 1030am and set at 230pm in the winter, and never set during the summer. Keep up your great training, but be careful to not overdo, especially during the catchup.
