Finally finding a bit of routine again. Last week’s training were a number (think 4) one hour sessions on the erg, a great paddle around town with Sten, some pushups/situps/chins at work, and a lot of screwing….

In our new appartment we now actually have a little room for the rowing ergometer. The problem is it was filled with all the parts that will become the kitchen. Boxes, planks, bags with small parts etc. But by stacking it all neatly I can just squeeze in with my heavy metall friend. Last weeks hour sessions have been going better than expected! In fact they are better than last year at the same time. I am now about where I was in february this year. That is good news. Even better news is that I am getting more and more space in the small room. The kitchen is growing. Everyday I spent about 2hours doing something there and it is giving result! Ruairi is helping during the weekends and WAUW does that help. Six cabinets, two wall cabinets, a fridge and freezer cabinet, dishwasher and all the drawers are more or less in place. Now we are waiting for the Work top that will arrive on wednsday! Good fun to do this yourself.

This weekends training had been tough. Yesterday we tried a 2hour erg session. After 24km and barely 80 mintutes done I bailed out. At 1:15 energy was gone. Oh well. Ruairi held in and finished his 120minutes of agony. Tough bastard. He was really nackerd though while we were screwing the kitchen later on
Today I planned for a bike ride and decided on a newish round towards Vaxholm. Navigating through Djursholm and all of its 1 million small steep shity hills I finally made it out to the nice foresty areas. I went for 15km gravel/mud road to putt my new Cycklocross bike to the test…After 80 minutes again I suddenly felt really empty in my legs….damn…freezing cold and at least 80 minutes to go…Nearly crying my through Djursholm and all those damn hills I came home and nearly drowned in the bathtub with my cramping legs. Good stuff!! But I must be having something in my body making me not feel the usual superman…Thats life..
Louise is doing great stuff all around the house and even in the kitchen she worked on some finishing touches.
Needless to say, we are reall happy here in the green edge of Stockholm.
