It's Norwegian Independence Day, which is a big deal in our destination country Norway, so here's a photo of a genuine Norwegian - Eiolf - luxuriating at the finish. Cool dude.
Today's run felt good for me - probably my best running since the first few days in Italy. The first 30 miles were flat and the weather close to perfect. I tried not to get carried away given we have a long stage tomorrow. The last 14 miles were along a boring, gravelly canal towpath into headwinds, so not much fun or fast running to be had, but so it goes.
Today's song stuck in my head? "Thirty Days in the Hole" by Humble Pie (really dating myself now!). Hint: tomorrow is day 30. Oh, and the accommodations suck and the showers are cold. Is that any way to treat a Norwegian, on this of all days?

Stay strong and methodical, Russell -- love reading your daily updates!
every day, I might do a track workout, or go to the gym, or sleep in. You? Another 30, 40, 50 miles.
Dang. Keep on steady. Sounds like you're really settling in comfortably. Nice job!
