Sunday Feb 3

Swimming 30:00 [2]
Aqua jogging 15:00 [1]
I went to the Mäkelänrinne swimming centre with my mum. It's the best swimming centre in Helsinki. We even went to the bubble bath! :)

Saturday Feb 2

Nordic walking long 1:30:00 [1]
ahr:110 max:159
Auts! I wasn't even sure if I was going to able to do this training because my shoulders, triceps and upper back were so damn tender this morning (and it only got worse during the day). I don't know if it was the yoga or the body class or both together, but I really can't remember when my shoulders have been this sore last time (or if they ever have been this sore)... I can barely lift my arms. It hurts.

Friday Feb 1

Circuit training etc. (Astangajooga) 1:00:00 [2]
What a way to start a day! :) It was my first real yoga class (I've been only doing a mixture of yoga and pilates so far). I didn't know that it would be such a "pro class". The instructor didn't show what we were supposed to do, he just said the name of the asana (for example dog, cobra, warrior and so on). Luckily I had some idea of what I was supposed to do and the nice instructor guy helped me a lot too. It felt really good! :) It's strenght and stretching at the same time. I'm really stiff though. When some people were sitting in a lotus position...well, I don't even think that it is anatomically possible for me to ever do that. But I think I was at the same level with some of the men that were there.
C • Astangajooga? 2
Circuit training etc. (Body) 45:00 [2]
After yoga it was time do some aerobics. Very different from yoga. Also some exercises with weights and some sit-ups.

STRETCHING 55:00
I wasn't too hungry yet so I also stayed for the stretching class. After three hours at the gym the luch went down quite fast. After that I slept 2 hours. I nice morning.
Games (Floorball) 1:30:00 [3]
ahr:158 max:183
After my "nap" and some delicious cake it was time to go to Maunula to HS's legendary floorball session. It was intense! First 4 against 3 and then 3 against 2. "Sir Michael" was quite "lost" a few times. ;D

Thursday Jan 31

Therapeutic exercise (Keppijumppa) 15:00 [1]
A little warm up before badminton.

8'30 (A 180)
I felt pretty good! :) I hadn't run since last Tuesday so I was very happy with the feeling I had.

My foot didn't hurth while running but it got a little sore again afterwards so I'm going to let it rest for a couple of weeks now. It's not really bad and it was worse last Tusday, but I want to be able to run in Portugal in the beginning of March. So I'm playing it safe again.

Now that I again find myself in a situation that I shouldn't run for a while, I probably should ask myself the question: what went wrong? I had a good plan: I was going to ski, ski and ski from the end of December till the end of February. I suppose I could sit here and blame the climate change but it wouldn't get me very far. I simply ran too much. I was feeling good and I thought that maybe the new orthotics will make everything better, but I should have known that not even magical orthotics would be able to fix the fu***ed up biomechanics of my right lower extremity. Well, it isn't so bad. I've become a lot stronger mentally while struggling with injuries. Now it's already easier to skip trainings when I really should. Easier...but not easy.

Monday Jan 28

10+5 min.
Gym (midsection) 30:00 [3]
