Summary Week 2

Well, last weeks summary looked great and I wish I could've followed up this week, but it's my tough week at work (clocked in at 65 hours last night...) and as you know I've had some other problems to tend to as well... All is well with that now by the way. I'll try to be good now! All this has led to some serious cut-downs in my schedule when it comes to training:

PW's: 20,52 K       4 hours & 2 mins

Swimming: 1 K     40 mins

Not very good, I'm very disappointed in myself, but just have to try harder.

Spin Me Around!

If someone had told me a few years ago that I should try spinning, I would have laughed and told them it would never happen. But my sister-in-law Kela dragged me along one evening some years ago and since then I'm hooked! I absolutely love it, the music, the intensity, the exhaustion, everything! I go in to some sort of trance and it's just me and the bike, the other 30 something people don't exist. I love spinn pulse most of all, the competition with my own body, visible on the screen, but still anonymous. Pushing myself to 95% of maximum is fantastic!
Since I've moved here I've sadly had to realize that they don't have much spinning here, like once a day and only late in the afternoon... I'd love to go around lunch for one hour and have the rest of the day free for dogs and Anders when he comes home.  But no such luck... =(

I do miss it and buying a bike of my own would probably not be the same...

Sweet Friday!

What a good day! I cheated this morning: I slept over my morning-PW... =/ Got up and just puffed around the apartment, so nice to not have to do anything really.
Drove dad around for some shopping and stuff, then I met up with Anders at Eriksdalshallen and we swam another kilometer, well done! We rented some movies on our way home and bought the 2:nd season of The X-Files:

Korean terror?... I'm sceptic...

Have big hopes for this one!

Times up?...

"The truth is out there..."

Now we've been out on a 5 K PW with the dogs and I feel like we really deserve some tacos and an evening on the couch now, what do you think?

What makes you happy a Friday-evening?

Pushing it with Paolo!

As I have already told you, I plan to put together some sort of home work-out and do at least three times per week. Because, let's face it: when you're extremely unfit--the gym is no fun! Which means I won't go, which means I don't get enough training! So, home it is. Yesterday when we were shopping I came across this book:

For those of you who don't know him, Paolo is a famous Swedish boxer and athlete and after he stopped competing and got kids, he realized he needed a new kind of training that he could do at home. So this is what we'll try for these four weeks of my challenge, meaning that poor Anders must get involved as well! There are ready-made programs and you can also put your own together with your favorite exercises. I hope it'll work out good!

Some good news yesterday afternoon seems to have helped chase the cold away, I sure hope it stays away this time!

Run For Life!

Yesterday I ran my kilometer since October!!! I know 1 kilometer isn't much, but it's a good start for me. So, the plan is 1 kilometer every other day, at least 3 times a week until the beginning of March. Then I'll do 2 kilometers throughout March and so on. Yesterday I completed it in about 8 mins, which is not good, but it's a start! I've got lots of great explanations as to why it's that bad--but I don't wanna be a sore looser... =)
What feels great though is that my thigh-muscles strain quite a bit, so I've done something right! =)
