52 Lives

OK, this post is late I mean late-late. When I started this blog I thought I could easily write a weekly wrap up every week, but somehow it has been a tedious task to get done. But even though the the wrap up is late, I’m happy to say I have been able to exercise during this “era of silence”.

List of exercises from the the L18-L21 period

• I spend Christmas with my family and parents in Ylläs. Cross-country skiing, outdoor activities and riding with snowmobile. It was fun and helped to get some of those Xmas calories burned!
• The funny (or awkward) thing at the moment is that there is no snow in Finland, except in Lapland. It was quite a contrast to be skiing on the last day at Ylläs, since next day I went for a run in a non-snow, +5 C weather at home. I’d like to see more snow before my 90 km skiing challenge, just to get more training kilometers before the actual competition.
• Two rink ball games! I’m not that keen about the sports itself, but I play with my old friends from the university. It’s fun to see everybody, since after going to the corporate life I haven’t seem them that much. Anyways, we had a tight match, which we lost 5-6 but the second game we won 10-6. These games have been good exercises: 30-60 secs of high heart rate exercise followed by couple of minutes of rest. Do this for one hour and feel the difference!
• Last but not least, I went to play floorball with my kids. It had been raining all Sunday and the kids were climbing up the walls. Then I figured I could take the kids with me to the training center in Ylöjärvi. There’s a big hall which has two floorball courts, plenty of space for running that is. So I called the center and they had free time in their schedule. It was amazing how much fun the kids had there! Imagine 4 and 1 year old kids with little floorball sticks running and screaming for two hours! I couldn’t believe they have that much energy, but they kept running. The older one even didn’t want to leave, he said two hours is not enough… Of course the kids were exhausted and they past out an hour before their actual bedtime But this was by far the best exercise I’ve had for years! Its like a dream come true when you get to play with your kids on the same court.
