With only, well, very little time to go before the birth I thought the hot weather in Amsterdam today was a great opportunity to go and do a self-supported Duathlon. Inspired by Astrid (who says her legs are a machine…) and Mads and first got the idea from the good guys at 140.6, I went for a more modest distance …
Running Inspiration
Excellent piece of running inspiration posted earlier today over at Connecting the dots…. After a long break from running it seems that the parenting part of the family is enjoying the scenery around them while hitting the ground running. Very good and looks like good fun!
New Interval Training Exercise
I’m trying to pick up a regular workout scheme again and this week I’m back in the gym again. Yesterday morning Lucy gave me this exercise that she thought would be good for me, and I wanted to share it with you for your own training pleasure. It’s a cardio exercise with a strong focus on intervals. The setup is …
Go for it!
Just spend a few minutes reading off a post on Stephan Derksen’s blog. Stephan is a sales professional and draws on his experience when adding content to the blog. The most recent blog post with the title “Set yourself up for success” ties nicely into my vision of continuous self-development, so I thought I’d quote the key part of his …
Thoughts on Moscow
Currently flying the last hour to Amsterdam returning from a few days in Moscow – look below for a few posts. Moscow surprised me a bit.

Tomorow’s a normal working day here and so I’ve thrown the towel in the ring at about 2200 hrs. a taxi is speeding me through Moscow to what I hope is my hotel. tomorrow there is another day where I can try myself …

Arrived in the Caribbean
Arrived in the Caribbean, actually just now trying out this posting system for the first time from the tytnii phone using SharpMT. We’ve arrived in good condition to spend a couple of weeks in the Dominican Republic (DR). MartinAir’s “comfort” service was really worth the extra money… It’s now 6;40 in the morning and we just CAN’T sleep any longer. …
Sports goals for 2007: Overview
2007 is over and so the goal of training 144 hours was missed by about 7 hours. More or less equal to what Martin and I did not manage to do due to illness in our cycling training camp on Mallorca, Spain. So with 137 training hours in 2007 the goal for 2008 becomes 137 + 20% = 164,4. I’ll …
