OMG, i just realized i haven’t been updating my blog for 14 days!
Nothing much happened the past 14 days anyways, so you hardly missed anything. I’m keeping up with the swimming, getting it done a minimum of 3 times pr. week and riding the bike to and from work on those days preferably. Thats apparently a bit more attainable in the long run, as opposed to do it 5 days a week. Perhaps it was a unrealistic goal .. hehe, but i will get in shape, no matter what
Been working overtime as well, for the extra cash. Also, I’m going on yet another diving trip after i come home from Egypt 14th September. around 21st September I’m going with 5 guys to Norway to free dive and hunt underwater with spear guns :D Thats gonna be fun for sure :)
Till next blog update, stay cheerful!
Getting in shape!

For far too long i have kept my self convinced i was all good. But not too long ago i somehow convinced my self otherwise, that i was get fat and sloppy !
Instead of just crying on and on about it, i wanted to do something, so i made up this program of activities that i should do once a day, to shape up a bit. It failed :( Did not have the motivation or anything.
So, around 14 days ago, a friend of mine was visiting, we pitched a few baseballs ( with gloves and stuff bought at Times Square in NY when we visited the US in 2004 :D ) and had a few beers. We talked a bit about it, and he just recently starting swimming again after a short break. So i decided to jump along and start swimming as well. And for some unknown reason, i suddenly feel extremely motivated to do something!
So i changed my working schedule so that i meet 8.30 each day, allowing me to get up 06.00 to ride my bike 7.8 kilometers from home to Aarhus Swim stadium, where we then swim for roughly 45 minutes, and i then ride my bike the remaining 5.6 kilometers to work. And once I’m off from work, i ride the 12.8 kilometers home as well.
I’m starting to feel the change already, my weight has increased significantly, fat turning into muscles i assume :) And i have a lot more stamina than just two weeks ago. Right now its not really something mesurable, i need to get in shape first, then i can always start going for a certain distance when swimming for a certain amount of time etc.
Diving ..

My diving equipment collection is as good as complete :) Equipment for free-diving that is anyways.
Like i wrote earlier , I’m going to Egypt in September to dive with some friends for a week in the Red Sea, near Mashra Alam, we will be staying at Mashra Shagra. So i felt it was time to get my own divers gear. I bought the gear i did because i wanted to have partial gear for SCUBA diving, and at the same time have all the gear needed for free-diving in danish waters during the danish summer.
I’m basically just waiting for a good friend of mine to finish his exams, and then presume we shall start doing some free diving with spear guns :D I almost cannot wait, but i told my self, that the first few times I’m gonna dive with a buddy, although it could easily be done alone. For starters i presume ill be spending quite some time learning to hold my breath. I need that to obtain some descent bottom times, so that i can actually shoot something :D
As for the SCUBA diving, I’m considering to join up with Quatre Force diving in Aarhus, they have dive evenings every Wednesday. So that you can keep up the routines. I’m pretty sure ill have a bunch of those dives in my logbook soon =) I’m gonna chill till i get the Advanced OWD certificate first though. I’m working overtime on work as much as i can, just for the cash, which are always welcome =)
