Back to the gym after so long

May 1, 2012

I’m still in one piece. I went back to the gym today, a month late after a lot of planning. Since the baby has started eating solid food, I thought I’d start not to go home during my lunch break and instead go to the gym. I’ll start three times a week. I missed the [...]

Running on track

November 27, 2010

My indoor runs using a treadmill has seen some progress. I’ve been clocking less than 24 minutes (23:58 to be precise) for a 3 kilometer run so I thought I really need to try the real track outside to see how it is.
