Running

I'd just hide inside on a treadmill if I lived in Norway, you're boss for embracing that shit.
Do the locals get up to that kinda madness too or are you a freak?

Yes and no.

The locals love their winter sports. So theyre out in the mountains walking on skis etc.

Not many cycle, and run through it though.

With a little preparation its a blast. Pitch black woods, snow covered trails, and intense music on the headphones.

That clothes list above is designed to allow me to run without overheating too much. Yet should be enough to keep me alive if I twist an ankle or something, and have to limp a few km home. Which has happened.

On the pavement thin tights, and baselayer, together with a windproof jacket will get me through pretty much anything.

My new toy is a insulated Camebak. You get proper dehydrated in sub zero temps. This'll be amassive improvement over wearing a water belt under my jacket. Plus I could stash some clothes in there when I get warm.
