Training Log Archive: kezza

it was sunny, not terribly windy and according to whatever system the windows vista gadget uses, +5 degrees this afternoon. considering Lund's complete lack of half decent weather over the last few months, i couldnt pass up this opportunity even though i have been floored with a cold for the last week. could only handle a short lap of st hans before chest started to ache and breathing got hard. felt good to be outside

funny story behind this....i was in stockholm to see bloc party. i googled the venue and used my map memory skills to get there in plenty of time for the concert. after 20 minutes walking around in the snow i gave up and asked someone only to be told it was about 2km away from where i was. fan ocksa!!!! (swedish swear words). so rather than miss the show completely by catching a bus i ran it....

simple task right. not so much. had to find a map and how to get there then run through the slushy icey snow in volleys, jeans, jumper and my big winter coat (not the best gear for running in). i ended up making it to the show about 3 songs before the end of the support act and had time to relax before bloc party came on. anyway the moral of the story is dont always trust google maps with life and death matters such as the location of a bloc party concert. and if all else fails....run

p.s. i was pretty sick at the time too. i got some massive dizzy spells once i sat down in the concert as well as shakes from the fever. all part of the fun.

C • bloc party 2

i think this is when i did this.... regular sort of gym sess. prob could/should have done more

bright sunshine today (but still -4C) so had to get out and get some rays. round st hans for a bit then to the duckpond and home again. should have tried for a longer run but i was tired after 15mins. felt incredibly gumby

pre lunch gym session. time is a guess coz i forgot to look at the clock. felt much better than i have the last few times. maybe i should go to the gym twice in a week more often.....

it is sunny today!!!! it is awesome!!! shame it is - 6 degrees......

night time session down at delphinen. usual stuff - shoulders, chest, arms, abs etc plus 2km rowing warm up.

in other news i walked into the chem eng building at 9am and could see a vauge glowing through the clouds which may have been the sun (although i cant confirm that). 8 hours of MATLAB later for very little benefit...) i emerged to find any trace of the glowing in the sky gone and my bike covered in about 10cm of fresh snow. it was cool

days without seeing sunlight or significant blue sky.....19 - i think. apparently it was sunny for a few hours on sunday morning but i was in bed with a hangover so it doesnt count. stupid hangovers.....

afternoon session. the weather couldnt decide if it wanted to snow or rain today so riding to uni was like riding through a giant slurpee.

days since i have seen the sun: 12.....im getting sick of swedish winter.....

stuggling to find any motivation to train at the moment. i feel like i want to do some training but when it comes down to it, i just cant bring myself to do anything worthwhile. not sure what to do....HTFU or bale on it.....

C • isn;t it still freezing ove... 2
