Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 7.62K
Time 41:53
Comments Ave 142, max 153, +9C, partly cloudy. I ran exactly the same route as on Sunday. Probably I just took fewer steps.

Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 7.9K
Time 44:00
Comments Ave 142, +8C, cloudy. Easy short run. This is another gray but unseasonably warm day. The picture is from our window today. The whole yard was raked last weekend, but there are still a lot of leaves in the birch trees, and they are all bright yellow. Or perhaps today's wind will take them down.

Exercise Irish dance
Time 2:00:00
Comments We have a substitute teacher, Nadia, for this and the next week. Then we'll have another instructor for the rest of the semester. I am not very comfortable with changing teachers too often, since they tend to do things that they have done with the class at previous levels, which I don't know. Anyway, today's class was ok, and I almost caught on. We did quite a lot technical drills, not that much dance routines.

Exercise Core
Time 30:00
Comments This session was quite different from what I expected. At first, I was not sure if I am attending the right class, since we started with steps and some whole body workout. That was probably just to warm up. Then we trained lower back, abs, sides, and glutes. We did too much of the back, it started to feel boring. Anyway, I already signed in for the next week's class. We'll supposed to have a new program then.

Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 8.66K
Time 46:33
Comments Ave 147, +7C, cloudy. I ran two loops in 17:15 and 16:50. Comfortable. The weather suits running perfectly.
Exercise Soccer
Comments Tomi played indoor soccer this morning.
@ Sun 21/10/2007
Comments I have missed the last two irish dance classes. Last night I got an email from the instructor that she is not working for the studio anymore: she was fired without notice. I wonder why. She seems to be an excellant teacher, enthusiastic and ambitious, and good with people. I don't even know if we have a substitute for the rest of the semester or if the classes are cancelled.

Exercise Run
Course Segovia, Spain
Distance 6.68K
Time 46:41
Comments Ave 130. Now it was much warmer and sunny. The thing about running in a strange place is that finding the way takes time: looking at the map, trying to locate oneself on it, and then figuring out where to go next. This explains the low heart rates: we have to stop several times to check the route, since some portions of the trail are blocked because of the construction. We also notice that we are pretty high: Segovia's altitude is close to 1000 meters above the sea level.

Exercise Run
Course Chinchon, Spain
Distance 7.3K
Time 45:25
Comments Ave 127. It was chilly when we left --- must have been something like +5-7C at most. There was not much warmth coming from the sun, since it stayed behind the hills.
@ Sun 07/10/2007
Exercise Run
Course Pitkäkoski
Distance 13.1K
Time 1:15:38
Comments Ave 134, max 146, cloudy, +12C. Again, a wonderful weather to run. We ran to the Pitkäkoski cabin. The cabin hosts a small cafeteria, which is very popular among outdoor people, especially during the cross-country skiing season, when people stop there for hot drinks and donuts. There were already quite a few people on roller skiis in the park.

From cabin's own pages there is a link to the picture page. The pictures are from the park we usually run. The set of images changes with the season, so check back soon for some snow wintery images.

Exercise Irish dance
Time 2:00:00
Comments We spent the whole first class in soft shoes practising some new technical stuff, such as butterfly jumps and birdies. We started the second class with the same practises. We continued with the slip jig and the last ten minutes did some treble practises across the floor.

Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 8.6K
Time 49:22
Comments Ave 141, max 155, +13C, sunny. I spared my legs for tomorrow's dance class, so instead of going for 10K, I just made two easy 3K loops, both in about 18 minutes. What a wonderful weather for running!

Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 8.55K
Time 47:14
Comments Ave 152, +12C, cloudy. Ouch, what an average heart rate. I ran two 3K loops, both in few seconds over 17 minutes. Nice run, though!
