I was looking forward to this run after a couple of days off. The second I stepped outside the door I was smelling the putrid crass stink of the fish food factory. The good thing about running along a fjord is the wind wraps around the rocks and protects against the odor depending on where one is on the route. The end of Paradeisveien was pretty gross. I altered my route to go behind the Strømvik gardens. I had a wad of paper towels in my pocket (thanks, allergies) and used those to tightly cover my mouth and nose. I slowed my pace so I wouldn't need to suck in as much air, and I got up and over a hill on a curve and was in luck - the wind was blowing the stink away from that part of the course. 1/4 mile of the run was disgusting and anger-making, but the rest was palatable until I got back to the top of Storhaug, where the wind was bathing the populated areas with the fish food factory stink.
