Exercise Run
Course Orchard Parade hotel gym
Time 30:00
Comments Ave 143, max 163. We ran on treadmill increasing the speed every five minutes from 8, 10, 11 to 12km/h, and then down again. We ended by doing some strength training in the gym equipments.

Exercise Run
Course Botanical garden
Distance 6.13K (5690 steps)
Time 33:41
Comments Ave 133, max 150. It was relatively late when we started running, almost ten o'clock. There were a lot of people in the park, most of them tourists but several runners as well. It is good to see that people are running in this climate whatever time of the day it is.

Ecersice Run
Course Botanical garden, Singapore
Distance 7.34K (6846 steps)
Time 46:49
Comments This was our first outdoor run here in Singapore. It was bearable in the morning since the sun was still relatively low. We spent the rest of the day scouting apartments. We also picked up our green cards. Next we will open bank accounts.

Exercise Run
Course Pirkkola
Distance 5.6K (4206 steps)
Time 29:31
Comments Ave 145, max 159, +20C, sunny. I ran one 3K lap in 16 minutes.

Last weekend we visited my mother in Tampere. We also had a couple of beers at one of the best breweries in Finland, namely Plevna.

I took the picture on the right today, on my way to last day at work at the CS department of University of Helsinki --- Tomorrow we fly to Singapore. This is the same place I took a picture of earlier this Summer, remember? Someone had cut the grass and flowers before I had a chance to take another photo of the wild medow when fully grown. How sad. The Fall is definitely near.

Exercise Core 30
Comments I skipped the interval session because of the migraine headache I had had for the whole day. The core session was not extremely demanding but it made me sweat a bit, especially the 2 minute 20 second plank exercise.
@ Thu 14/08/2008
Exercise Run
Course Paloheinä
Distance 10.72K (9927 steps)
Time 55:22

@ Tue 12/08/2008
Exercise Interval 30 and Core 30
Comments The first session was pretty straightforward with running, jumping jacks and some kickboxing, but the latter session included a 2 minute 20 seconds plank without any breaks. That was a killer after yesterday's BodyPump and shoulder workout.
@ Mon 11/08/2008
Exercise BodyPump
Time 60:00
Comments The current program is number 66. A very good number but boring music. I intentionally used lighter weights since I have not been into Pump for a couple of months, or actually in two and a half months as I checked in the blog.
