Outdoors & indoors

On Saturday I did a one hour walk&jog along the forest trail. Horrible conditions, very slippery in places, had to be super careful not to trip over.
Felt good to be OUTDOORS!
I'm so sick and tired of the indoors.

Sunday was one hour of Nordic Walking along streets as conditions were even worse than on Saturday. Slippery, and snowing!

Monday was 55 minutes full-body workout with my PT.
I won't be able to move a muscle on Tuesday :)


Saturday. Forest trail.

Treehugging on Saturday. Try it, you'll love it! It's very calming and it gives you strength. Seriously.

Plank Challenge!

Friday. Blini. Overdose.



I overdosed on blinis on Friday!
I ate one with mushroom salad for starters and had three with reindeer (Rudolph's evil twin) for mains.
*buuurp*
Bulletproof coffee for dessert and overdosing was a fact.
I could hardly move!
Didn't get hungry for the rest of the day though. Just drank some sparkling water.


Thursday's PT workout was really great, as usual. A wonderful mix of co-ordination, balance and strength.

The gym calls again on Saturday! Treadmill! Core! Woop woop!!

Waking up my body

Today's workout was 35 mins fartlek on the treadmill.
Waking up my body, I haven't done any exercise in a week due to crazy times at work.
Tomorrow I'm meeting with my PT. He'll kick my a$$, exactly what I need!
Treadmill after the PT workout, then core and flex!
Core and flex classes are my 'challenges' for this winter and spring.
Something new and totally outside my comfort zone!!


Plans for 2015

There was a lot of going places at the end of 2014-beginning of 2015. Workouts just didn't work out as planned.
Now things are back to their usual self and I'm ready for 2015!

Ahmanhiihto skiing event at Ahmovaara in early March. I haven't been on skis in about 28 years but that's details :) 

Graceloppet in May on board m/s Viking Grace. We run on deck for one hour. It was a lot of fun last year!

Oslo half marathon 19th September. I've never been to Oslo before.
Nice warmup before:

NEW YORK CITY MARATHON November 1st!!
I've applied for a place, now just keeping fingers crossed that I will get a place.

I've got a new PT at the gym and our co-operation is going really well. I just smile and say 'yes yes' and do whatever he suggests.

Hello 2015! This is going to be a great year!
