Exercise Run
Course Yasso 800 (Pirkkola)
Distance 5K
Time 55:00
Comments Ave 146, max 159, +9C, partly cloudy, chilly wind. We ran 4x800m in 4:02, 4:03, 3:55, and 4:01. This was the first step in our marathon training program --- whenever the next marathon will be ...
@ Thu 26/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 11K
Time 1:07:00
Comments +15C, sunny. It was Tomi's turn to run. He made three 3K laps in times 18:50, 16:40, and 18:15. Nice but not light.
Exercise Strength
Time 60:00
Comments Hard workout, loud music and no air conditioning. We exercised biceps and triceps in the same sequence. Overall we did a lot of thing with arms up. And those crazy slalom jumps again.
@ Wed 25/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 11K
Time 1:03:21
Comments Ave 147, max 162, +10C, from partly cloudy to medium/light rain. I ran three 3K laps in 2x17:00 and 1x16:30. Next time I'll try 4 laps in 17:00. And then ... I guess I am ready for the half marathon.

Tomi played indoor soccer for an hour.

Exercise Run
Course Ilmala - Käpylä - Pikkukoski
Distance 20K
Time 1:59:16
Comments Ave 133, max 154, +8C, sunny, NNW wind --- Very nasty wind. We explored a part of the city so far unvisited and found some hills.
@ Wed 18/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 5K
Time 31:49
Comments Ave 137, max 150, +11C, partly cloudy. The whole city is waiting for rain, but this area has received none so far. Dark clouds surround us, but the sun insistently keeps peeking. I planned for an easy run, but I did not feel much running and cut it short. Still glad I went.
@ Sun 15/04/2007
Exercise Bicycling
Course Hämeenkylä - Pitkäjärvi - Bemböle - Leppävaara
Distance 33K
Time 2:19:36
Comments +14C and sunny. We tried to find ourselves in the countryside. Downside of living in a big city is that idyllic countryroads are not easy to access. What we have a lot are paved combined pedestrian and bicycle lanes running alongside busy highways. They are noisy and crowded. And full of people.

We visited Glims, a historic homestand converted into a museum. When kid I rode there at least once every Summer with my dad and bro.
@ Sat 14/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Leppävaara
Distance 15K
Time 1:31:24
Comments Ave 133, +14C, sunny. This three-city run --- we visited both Espoo and Vantaa --- took us to some nice small-house neighborhoods. I wonder where all the people were on this awesome day to spend outdoors.
@ Thu 12/04/2007
Exercise Strength
Time 60:00
Comments A new session again, and a whole new set of movements with dumbells and barbells. In addition to pumping iron we also made some hard slalom jumps to burn thighs. We had some Finnish rap for music.
@ Tue 10/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 8K
Time 46:39
Comments Ave 144, max 159, +5.7C, partly cloudy to cloudy. I ran two 3K laps in 16:50 and 16:00. Nice and easy run!
@ Mon 09/04/2007
Exercise Pilates
Time 60:00
Comments A low-paced session without music. We did a lot of movements holding our legs up toward the ceiling -- I could feel the weight of the yesterday's run.
@ Sun 08/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Louhela-Myyrmäki
Distance 15-17K
Time 1:40:31
Comments Ave 131, max 150, +3C, sunny, strong and gusty wind. Another gorgeous Sunday here in the capital. I hear from my friends elsewhere that people are experiencing a return of winter, with snow and all.

Our kitchen project is in finale. We've already bought some nice new stuff, such as the colorful tins of old - perhaps 40 years - Finnish design (see the picture on the right).

"Hey, hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' something up with me?
Hey, hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe,
We could find us a brand new recipe."
@ Fri 06/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Pitäjänmäki
Time 35:30
Comments Ave 133, +4.5C, partly cloudy, strong wind. We took a break from painting our living room and went for a short run. The sun showed occassionally, but otherwise the weather was dull; we even got a few snow flakes.
@ Sun 01/04/2007
Exercise Run
Course Tali-Munkkiniemi-Huopalahti
Distance 11K
Time 1:07:02
Comments Ave 132, +9C, sunny. First run in shorts. Although the air is warm, the world is not. Chill factor was intensified by a significant SW wind. We have one more warm day to enjoy: then temperatures will slump and we'll get some more rain and snow. Oh joy!
