Been ill, focus on fitness

I have been ill for a few past days. Cannot recommend to anyone. I have seldom felt so out of steam as beginning of this week. After the work day was over, I just crashed into bed on Monday. On Tuesday, I felt the same but somehow managed to drag myself to the ice rink with Aapo and Sanna’s mother.

After having skated for 45 minutes or so — and playing hockey for the first time with my son, I felt so proud of him — I felt energised and really opposite of myself before going to skating.

Today, I read from a newspaper that the recent study shows Finns have bad physical fitness. Our general fitness allows us to work for six hours of eight, and then fatigue strikes us.

I’ve felt worn when coming back from work, and now I learned the reason. I was out of shape! I need to pay some more hours to active hobbies, and get myself panting a few times a week. Otherwise my body cannot sustain my long work days.

Today seems to be an excellent day for skating or going to slides (with sleds) with boys. Fortunately, starting seems to be easy. Hopefully I can pull this off for the rest of my life…
