Touch down

I was in Berlin, I was in Stockholm and now I am soon in Tallinn... Work and derby really takes me places... Makes me superexcited and tired at the same time...

Next week I will be going skiing with Britta for a few days, and it will be great to be back on snow again, it's not very often...

Working 9 - 5 breaks me down even more than traveling, honestly office hours must be the most boring thing in the world

I got a bike...

So that special lady I've been spending time with bikes everywhere... And one of the first times we met she told me I'm stupid because I have a car... Well, that my be truth with a little modification - nevermind. The point is that I haven't had a bike in Stockholm since 2009 when my trustworthy old bike got stolen... I've had a lot of bikes in my life - and lots of then tend to be stolen... So I guess I just haven't bothered to get a new one in Stockholm. It sort of has been on the agenda - but everything else has just gotten in the way... I've talked about it, but I just haven't gotten around to it...
The other day I made the decision: I'm getting a bike, so when I was at work Britta did some extensive research work for where to get the best bike in town... Conveniently it was just right by her house... So I hurried there after work and told them they were the best according to the Internet and I needed a bike... Since I had decided that I am gonna start commute on bike to work... No more subway!!
So the they found me a bike - I gotta ride it for a bit and I decided it was miiiiiine! So now I have an amaaaaazing bike... Britta approves!

I am a proud GYM-member

So I got a gym membership through my fantastic job, and we all know that I really like to work out, even if I am a really laaaazy girl... So I am now a member of SATS and now I've decided to really use those classes that they offer. Most of their classes are crazy popular and you have to book about a week in advance, and that is probably not really awesome for me, considering I'm quite an impulsive person.

I hate lifting weights by myself, and a personal trainer is currently not in my budget, so the next best would probably be the classes. So during the next few days I will tell you all about the classes I have attended...

So the first one I went to was called SATS Energy, it was supposed to be a high energy class with simple steps inspired by athletic movements...  
To be honest - I might be a very good rollerderby player, I still have NO clue how I can be, since my coordination is bad. People are known to compare me to a ragdoll... But simple and athletic movements sounded like someting that even a mildly aerobic challanged person like me could pass... WELL, if they by athletic inspired movements mean inspired by cheerleaders and gymnastics - I'll understand... I still did probably look very entertaining to everyone else... I really wanted to leave the class - but since I am such a trooper - I stayed around til the end... but SERIOUSLY - you will NEVER see me there again, jumping sideways while moving my arms out of sync... (everyone else were synced)

The second one I went to was Deadball, and you get a partner and then you spend 45 minutes throwing a 2,5 kg ball between you. The ball does not bounce... it's VERY dead! 
I had a great time, maybe because the random girl I got partnered with was one of the most positive people I've ever worked out with, it made me positive and we were both so supportive of each other that I almost started to think that we could compete in this, we were going pro.. but I don't think deadball is a competative sport... but I will return to this class, hoping that my new special friend will be there...

Stay tuned and I will let you know about, Box, Crosstraining, GRITPlyo, SATSCore and probably something else I have tried by then... now I am off to my dad to pick up a TV - since he apperently got a new one... so that mean i get his old as my new...



You may wonder what this picture has to do with the text... It's cookies and milk... I call it the best recovery meal EVER!
