The introduction of Saaby's Law (Sorry Godwin, I nicked it a bit from you ;) )

Right, so what is Saaby’s Law ? Saaby’s Law is an association fallacy, much like Godwin’s Law. Godwin’s Law states, that the first one to introduce nazi analogies into a discussion, has lost that discussion. The basic premise of Saaby’s Law is much like Godwin’s Law, but based on newsmedia: The first one to state that “You might actually know more if you didn’t just read/view/listen to ”, has lost the discussion. “Newsmedia” being some media which is held in low regard by the one stating the expression...

Today marks a new beginning :)

Very simple. I sent in my application for an education I've been hooked on for some time now. The Academy Profession Degree in Business Communication. Been looking to expand my competencies for some time now, and I definitely want to add these skills to my IT skills. Combined, they could be really great. Or who knows, perhaps it could be a lifechanger in the long run ? I don't know if it will be. But starting something new and interesting, something other than pure IT related stuff, is great. I need that by now...

I want to be me

Funny. Watching Dirty Dancing on TV2 (Denmark). When Swayze says goodbye to Baby after being fired, he snaps his fingers, then claps his hands a certain way. That instantly made me remember a teambuilding event, where I had to roleplay another person from work, who snaps his hands the same way. And the thorough discomfort I felt about it. That particular feeling just sprung up, at that snap. Funny trigger. Guess it's not too bad when you like being yourself better ;)

A little less fatass...

As some may remember, I started that weight loss thing back in april. Back then I weighed 109kg. I bought that Suunto, started running, after the heart rate principles, and that made my physical fitness skyrocket. For comparison... 5,67km in 47:10 back then. I'm running 5km in 29:43 now. And my max distance has increased to 11km. I started out running 10,7 km in 1:15:30. I now run 10,7km in 1:04:44. Very nice improvement :) My jogging speed at the time, was around 8,5km/h at 80% HRmax. It's 10-10,5km/h at 80...

First Suunto guided run

Lots of firsts these days ;) Yesterday I was supposed to do the "tough" workout, according to my Suunto T4c. So I thought: I want to see how running with this is, instead of just doing exercise on the crosstrainer. So... to Risskov - and beyooond ! Hard facts I ran 5,63 km. It took 47:10. Max HR was 86%. Avg HR was 78%. I did 37 minutes in the 70-80% zone. I did 10 minutes in the 80-90% zone. My Experience I basically ran. But it felt more like... just above the speed of powerwalking ;) Compared to...

My first Suunto Coach guided workout

Rightyyyy... was feeling damn tired after getting Ziggy ready for bed. But my new Suunto T4c told me I had to work out. I had to reach a Training Effect of 2.8, and there was a time indicator next to it saying 1:15. I interpreted that as the workout taking an hour and fifteen minutes. So, on the crosstrainer I went. Put the heart monitor belt on. Switched the watch from Time to Training mode. It searched and found the HRM belt in a second or two. Fantastic, that part just works ! Can't wait to see if pairing the...

I'm gonna lose it ! (And this is the math behind how I'm gonna...)

Today marks a new beginning. Or well… I could say “Re: Beginning”, since I’ve been at this crossroad before ;) Fact is, I’m a fatass. It’s a fact I’ve been living with for too long. In the meantime I became a dad, and a while ago I started thinking a lot about the long term effects on my body, that being fat has. You (I did, and most others I know) start thinking like that when the added responsibility of children is introduced into your life. You start thinking “I need to last preferably at least 40 more years...
