I went for an hour long walk this evening. A sort of powerwalk you could say. It was me, my iPod, and a bag of sunflower seeds (those things really do make the time pass…as well as the music). The temperature was around 10 Celsius so it wasn’t too bad. What caught my attention was [...]

So I think I can say that (my) official bike season has begun. I brought out the ole’ beast a few days ago with an odometer reading of 1698.6km on April 2nd, 2008. It looked good but my rear breaks had to be a adjusted a little bit and rear mudguard was starting to be [...]

Falling Out
Filed Under Fishkeeping, Fitness, General, Guitar, Karate | Leave a Comment
Once you fall of out a pattern, it’s quite hard getting back in. I stopped exercising and now it’s a pain trying to start running again. Last time I ran was a month ago, and that was an isolated event. I’ve also been neglecting my guitar. Amazing really, for someone that loved to play so [...]

Discus

Did some discus throwing today for some kind of University meet. I threw only 30.45m with the 2kg disk. It really upset me. I remember way back when I would look at the 40 and 50 meter marks. Those were my kind of throws. Training 5 days a week. Good times with other throwers. And [...]

I did over 65 km in the last three days. I took my bike to my martial arts, went biking again today with Espen. Went jogging. I’m losing a lot of water! Can’t wait for our 171km bike trip!

Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Just minus the tears. Some dude bled all over my Gi (karate uniform) today. Not cool…bastard. I also biked the 10 clicks to the school on the other side of town. Oh man am I going to be fit. I weighed in today at 106.0kg.

A Little Bit of Jogging
Filed Under Fitness, General | Leave a Comment
So I went for a jog today after walking the Fiancee home. It was really just a jog back from her place to mine. I did it in one shot and felt like doing more. It was going good, listening to some mp3’s, just running along. Before I had to divide the jog in half [...]

Legs hurts, first jog in a while
Filed Under AMB Division, Fitness, General, Karate | Leave a Comment
I jogged yesterday to my fiancee’s house in order to give her bus pass back. I use it for Sundays when I go for my Karate. But there was no karate yesterday, I should really start checking my club’s website more often. Today’s session was pretty good. I got worked up and we did kata’s. [...]

Happy Chinese New Year! Year of the Pig
Filed Under Fitness, General | Leave a Comment
In China, the pig is associated with fertility and virility. To bear children in the year of the pig is considered very fortunate, for they will be happy and honest. So all you hopeful parents out there, get crackin’! How do Muslims respond to this with the pig being an “unclean” animal and all? Does [...]

My bike is squeeking and recently I bought some kind of lubricant spray for it. I’m around 426 km although that figure is a little under what it’s really at.
I started going to the gym. My warmup and cool down is 7 and 10 minutes on a stationary bike respectively. I tried the eliptical trainers [...]

Bike and Fitness

I’ve crossed the 200 km mark a few days ago but Saturday snowed like a biotch and tag-teamed Sunday for a few more cm’s. So effectively our two-wheel transport system is now in hibernation. We did however do a few rounds in the snow, interesting feeling, like you’re constantly going to flip and break something.
I’m [...]

A different karate
Filed Under Fitness, General, Karate | Leave a Comment
I had karate yesterday…and I didn’t. Confusing? I went for my karate class at the other end of the city (I’m going to start going there because my sensei asked me to get more involved as I’m a black belt candidate) and was all ready to rock and roll on the club’s new tatami mats, [...]

Getting Fit
Filed Under Fitness, General | Leave a Comment
My classes are awesome. I’ll be starting karate soon enough. My bike works. Blah blah blah. The real aim of this post is to motivate to lose weight. I’ve gained lots of pounds and don’t know how to really motivate myself to start losing them. So here is the plan, take a “before” picture, log [...]
