                  Today the kids an I began our training for the Stolzekleiven
                  Opp, tackling the stairs and then hiking across to Fløyen for
                  some pølser. I tried to handicap the climb it so we'd all finish about
                  the same time. Zara set off about 10 minutes before I did, and
                  I tried to convince Maxwell to wait at least 2 minutes before
                  following me up but he was after me roughly 30 seconds after I
                  started and quickly passed me. Zara was the real surprise,
                  completing the climb in only 27 minutes. I came in at 20 and
                  Maxwell at 17, both a few minutes off from our race pace last
                  year.
                 
                
                  To escape from the house this evening I'm sitting at Ujevnt
                  near the terminus of the 51 busline downtown. It's a fairly
                  empty bar and has good wifi to work by. I've been a little OCD
                  about work since I got back here, working like 12 hour days.
                  I was hoping to be a little more chill this evening, but events
                  unfolded otherwise. At least I spent most of the afternoon
                  outside with the kids i fjellene.
