Etter dette er det færre som drar seg på trening, og det kan være mange grunner … (Les mer...)
En lang oppdatering
Du har kanskje ikke fått det med deg, men jeg er hjemme på juleferie! Jeg dro hjem til Norge den 12. desember og reiser tilbake den 22. januar, som gjør at jeg får drøye 5 uker hjemme.
