Not easy.

Posted on August 26, 2008 by Tomas Halberstad

I don’t know if inline riding looks easy, if it does, it ain’t. So instead of saying that inline riding isn’t as easy as it looks I’ll stick to saying that inline riding ain’t easy.

Camilla and I just came back from a test run of our new equipment (spoken about on a post below). I think we’ll have to leave the poles at home for a while and instead concentrate our efforts on finding balance and learning how to stop properly. It’s going to take a couple of tries but that’s ok. We’ll get there when we get there.

Diversity is the key.

I really think that, for me, diversity is the key to keep on going, and not giving up, with my whole work out thing. To do different kind of activities over the days and weeks help me stay motivated. It’s more fun and I don’t always know whats in store effort-wise, which is a good thing since my mental ability to push myself isn’t the greatest; if I know how tough a work out is going to be it has happened from time to time that I’ve given up.

So in line (pun intended) with these thoughts Camilla and I today went out and bought our selves each a pair of inlines. Not only that we also bought pads for our knees, elbows and wrists and I bought a pair of poles (there weren’t any in Camillas size, we’ll get them later.

I got my self a pair of CC SP700, depicted here below. A decent pair of entry-level fitness inlines.

Now we just wait for the good weather than off we go!

This story suggests that “At least three people have been arrested in the US over an alleged plot to kill US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama“.
A Swedish newspaper continues with publishing pictures of two of the arrested men.

Now it might be that I have seen too many episodes of The Simpsons, and in particular this character, but wouldn’t you think that if there were some people wanting to kill the first man of colour having a true shot at the White House they would look exactly like the guys below, and I’m not judging by appearance, I’m just saying…

And by the way: the guys below are the actual guys arrested.

Tharin Gartrell och Nathan Johnson är två av de gripna männe
