RtNP#18 New Possibilities
This was recorded on a cold evening run, my first run in the new year. Hopefully coming runs will be in warmer temperatures and in better surface conditions. Well, nothing much we can do about the weather, I guess we just have to press on with our training, right?
I hope you all had a good holiday and wish you a happy new year, 2010.

RtNP#17 The Dream Inspires
This is my documentary on the Worldwide Festival of Races run that I did on oct 11 2009. I took part in the Dream Inspires event, held in Oxford Uk, where I ran the 10k distance.
Sorry that it took so long to put the episode together and I also apologise for the audioquality which is a bit poor in some parts. This is the first time that I have done a recording/editing project of this proportion and it has been a challenge but also interresting and I did learn a couple of new tricks to try to get it as audible as possible.
Running together and meeting the people were great and it's a memory that I will keep in my heart forever.
I hope you can sense the athmosphere of joy and friendship as you listen.
In this episode ..
..you can hear me talk about my trip to Oxford as I run by myself around my home but you can also hear parts of the recording I did while running together with friends along the Thames and in the city of Oxford

Back home
I returned home safely earlier this evening after a fantastic holiday in Oxford, UK.
Thanks to everyone that made it a special and memorable event.
Thanks also for sharing your photos, my photos from the race didn't turn out too good, I'm afraid. Probably because my glasses were all wet and fogged up because of the rain, so I didn't really see what I took pictures of. I more or less just pointed the camera in one direction and pushed the button, not the best way of doing it.
I had the recorder going for the whole race and I listened through the audio last night in my guesthouse and once again on the bus this morning. That left me with two main thoughts:
All of it has great value for me to listen to, because I was there and this is what I experienced but for a regular podcast listener it is probably not so interresting.
Anyway I'm determined to give it a try, we'll see if I can succeed. It would be fun to be able to share our run from my perspective with you all.
Hopefully the next edition of the Running the Narrow Path podcast will contain audio from the Dream Inspires Run.

- 1. I had such a great time running with you all. It was really fun. and
- 2. How...! am I going to edit this into something that will be interresting to listen to.

RtNP#16 Busy Times
Sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day, or maybe it's the way we plan our days that is wrong. Anyway I managed to record on a run and this is what came out of that. Hope you'll enjoy it.
In this episode ..
..you can hear me whine about a hectic week as I go running in the forest for what might be the last time for the season.

Interresting run in the forrest.
I had a great time in the forrest today. The weather was beautiful, a bit windy but that didn't bother me. I started out on my favourite loop, the one that I call the Oaktree - Yellow house loop. As it turned out I ended up running only parts of the planned tracks but that only made my run more interresting.
Usually I'm all alone in the forest but today I met a lady on the path in the middle of the forrest. I said: "Hi" and she replyed: "I'm lost. Can you help me?" She was out looking for mushrooms and got lost. I gave her directions for how to find her way back to roads that were familiar to her. From what I understood she was far away from where she thought but knew the location I pointed out to her and should find her way back to her car from there. I asked her if she had found any mushrooms and she had found some but for the last hour or so, when she found herself lost in the woods she had lost interrest in the mushrooms and stopped looking for them.
I hope she made it to her car allright. I'm sure she did. From the point where we met and out to the road it was less than two kms and a path or small road to follow all the way. Fairly easy if you don't panic or something.
After a while I came to a place where there is another path going in to the forrest, a path that I always thought looked so nice and often wondered where it leads to. Today I decided to find out.
It turned out to be a wonderful detour to my usual loop. I took me back to the track after a while. Going this "new" path is about the same distance, I think, but keeps me off roads and on nice soft paths instead so this might be my new regular Oaktree - Yellow house track.
On one of the new paths I met a runner (I don't think I've ever met one in the forrest before) He was followed by a girl (his daughter?) riding a horse. So I stopped for a little bit not to scare the horse. It was a nice break to the usual lonliness. And also fun to realise that other runners/riders also like the nice paths around here.
At one point I had to turn back because the path I was following kind of faded out into nothing. I went back and made another turn and found myself back on the road i usually run.
I didn't manage to run the full loop today because I found that I had been out a bit too long and we were expecting guests so I made a shortcut and ran the main road back home. My run today turned out to be 8.5km and even if I had hoped to go a bit longer I was really happy with what I accomplished.
I had such a great time today, exploring new paths and I found it quite interresting to meet theese people. It seems that I'm not the only one to keep the paths open.

RtNP#15 A New Thing
I think most of us are using different equipment to help us with our training. And even for a short run around the block it might take a while to get ready because we have to strap on, not only our shoes and running clothes but also several technical devices. If the "things" are helping us getting motivated, it's a good thing.
From now on I will be strapping on a new thing for every run I do and I sure hope it will make my training better.
In this episode ..
..you can hear me try out a new gadget which I hope will be useful in my training. I'm also talking a little about what the Worldwide Festival of Races means to me.
