Summary of the week

So I haven’t been in a blogging mood lately. Haven’t been in any kind of mood really. Here’s a summary of the weeks excercise activities.

Monday: Taekwon-do. Finally I got to go to a full class with an instructor present. Really helpful.
Tuesday: Taekwon-do instruction. Two classes, kids and teens. 2,5 hrs alltogether, and I got to join in on some of the fitness stuff.
Wednesday: Nothing whatsoever. Worked all day.
Thursday: Bike, somewhere around 10-12k
Friday: Push-up and Pull-up/body-row pyramids. Cool.
Saturday: Worked most of the day, played with the kids the rest.
Sunday: All day with the kids. Exhausted. Yay!

Have been GTG’ing pull-ups everytime I run the stairs at home, feels like it is helping some. Taking another TKD-class tonight, and instructing again tomorrow. Looking forward to that.

This week, olympics and stupidity.

So, here’s a short recap of the last week excercise-wise. I’ve spent the precious few minutes I’ve had available this week working on Taekwon-do patterns preparing for the upcoming season that starts this monday. I might’ve not mentioned this to you guys but I’m the administrative officer and sometime instructor of a small TKD club, keeps me kinda busy through the winters I’ve also been biking and rowing a bit.

On another note, there’s been some hoola here about the flag-bearer of the Norwegian olympic team. Usually the flag is carried (at the opening ceremony) by a former gold medallist, but this time none of the active gold winners participated in the ceremony. Instead the powers-that-be selected weight lifter Ruth Kasirye to carry the flag. This did not go down well among certain “sports fans” Why, you ask? Well, you see Ruth happens to be born in Uganda, and came to Norway only ten years ago. Oh, and she’s not quite white-skinned, but I’m sure that has nothing to do with it, eh? Wonder if the noise had been quite as loud if swimmer Sara Nordenstam had been selected. Sara has been a Norwegian citizen for just four years. Hmmm..

Whatever the case may be, I hope neither of these two were bothered by the stupidity. Ruth moved a lot of weight and finished seventh in her weight class while Sara picked up the bronze in the 200m breaststroke. Yay to both!

Coming up for air, again!

So I’m still “still here…”

Last few weeks have been… an experience. Steve used the word melancholic, which I think describes parts of the situation. There are some other, stronger words in that direction that could be used as well. Things are looking up though, and I hope to be back regularly pretty soon.

Enjoy the rest of summer!

So I’m still here!

An unfortunate collection of circumstances including, but not limited to vacation, extreme hot wweather, computer crashes, and the return of previously mentioned family issues have prevented me from posting here in the past week. I have been working out a bit though, and will try to recap later.
