Morning miles, international smiles 🇺🇸🇳🇴
I had the pleasure of running with Adam from Detroit this morning — visiting Oslo (Visit Oslo) for the first time, coming in from Poland and on his way to Bergen and the west coast of Norway. Despite some light rain and grey skies, we had ideal running weather and great company. Adam runs about 50 km a week and brought that steady stride to the streets of Oslo today.
We also stopped by the statue of Franklin D. Roosevelt near Akershus Fortress — a fitting pause for an American guest. The statue was unveiled in 1950 to honor FDR's leadership and the vital support the U.S. gave Norway during World War II. A symbol of friendship and freedom, it stands as a quiet reminder of shared history and resilience.
Thanks for the run, Adam — and safe travels west!
