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”.

Merry Christmas, everybody!
I’m heading to Ylläs for the holidays, so 52Lives goes down for a while. I’m leaving my laptop home, so there won’t be tempations to check email or upgrade AZ-One. For a couple of years I’ve spend the Xmas holidays without using the computer and I’ve found those small breaks useful. Since I’m a daily user, it’s good sometimes just to shutdown the PC/Mac and smell the roses…
I ‘ll be back before New Year’s Eve and propably there are nice photos from Lapland and skiing stories to tell about. See you later!

Again it took me two weeks to write the _weekly_ wrap but there’s a chance my posting frequency will get back to normal from now on. Lately my biggest time consumer has been a WordPress plugin called AZ-One. This was the first plugin I’ve implemented, so it took a lot of effort in learning and in coding. But I got it ready on December 6th (which happens to be the Independence Day of Finland) so there was a lot to celebrate! I was happy and proud to release the first version since I think it will help a lot of bloggers to generate more income. On the other hand I was reliefed to get it off my hands for a while, since it has been literally the only thing in my mind for the last 2 months. But at the momemt I feel like I had climb on a mountain, the feeling is just so great!

OK, the last two weeks have been rough and I ended exercising only once (!) during that period. First I got sick, then my kids got sick and then I got sick again. In the between we have visited our parents and gone to some parties, so even the last changes for training have been washed up by a busy schedule and zero energy. So what else could I say? Darn?
I wrote a while ago that I’m going to stay away from 1-Hour Workoutweeks, but as always there are situation in which you just have to skip training. I don’t train if I’m sick and I have prioritized seeing my parents higher than my workouts, so I ended up training even less than 1 hour a week
But situations always change and I can feel myself getting better now. I got the flu twice, so maybe I’m fortunate and don’t get it for the third time. At the moment I’m in the bus going back from work. The company I work for has organised a badminton event near my home for today, so I’m just going to change my clothes and head to the event. There’s a guy teaching the basics and strategy of badminton, so I’m looking forward learning something new. If there’s good advice, I’ll post it here also.
The posting frequency (as my online presence) has been low lately. I have been working hard on a WordPress plugin which I’m going to release soon, so there hasn’t been much extra time for blogging and socializing. But I think that’s going to change also for the better quite soon.

Dejavu is the word in my head. Last week I only trained 1 time as I did the week before. The reason is the same, I’m still fighting against flu and cough. It’s amazing when these epidemics storm across Finland that I always manage to get them. I read somewhere that due to my blood type AB my immunity system is “open for everything”, so I think that’s part of the truth. Anyways, being sick sucks - deeply.
So I did my usual workout last Tuesday in the gym. After that my flu got worse, so I skipped training. This week looks the same, I think I’ll get back to gym next week. In the meantime I have been enjoying chips, beer, chocolate, candy, beef, wine, burgers, pizza, lasagna and mud cakes! Boy, there’s still a lot to learn Father’s Day was a good excuse to over-eat and of course on Monday I ate the leftovers!
Can’t wait to get back to the gym!

Have you read the book ‘The 4-hour workweek‘ by Tim Ferriss? Well, I got something similar over here. It’s called ‘The 1-Hour Workoutweek’. Tim’s idea is to spend as little time working as possible and do the fun stuff instead. I wish I could tell you my system is just the same, but there’s a tiny difference… Tim’s system is about maximising the fun, but unfortunately 1-Hour Workoutweek makes you feel … umm, not sad but semi-fun.

This week was a disaster what it comes to training. I had a bad flu, so I skipped every chance I had to go jogging in my shiny brand new shoes… They’re just waiting there to get dirty… I bought a new pair of running socks on Saturday, so I’d better get well and soon! Otherwise all my money goes to Nike’s/Asics’ pocket.
Instead of the typical weekly wrap up, I put my week in to the acronym SICK. Wanna know what is the best part of being SICK?
