Wow. 35. This age comes with some serious what-am-I-doing-with-my-life kind of thoughts. Being unemployed, single and living with a cat at that age is hardly normative (at least in Israel) and despite being very content with the current situation it’s hard not to ponder other life choices. In any case, it’s time for the yearly [...]
It’s a little bit strange to write about the 7th anniversary of my first day at the gym after not actually doing any physical activity in the past 2 weeks due to what turned out to be just an infection (which I’m finally treating with some antibiotics.) That’s why it’s also not surprising that I [...]
I’ve been doing the same running routine for quite a while now – 3 times a week, 11.5km. Lately I’ve been experiencing some pelvic pain that refuses to go away. In 2 days I’m going to see an orthopedic doctor but for now, after reading online about some of the possible ailments (like Osteitis Pubis), [...]
It’s funny how this day turned out this year just as I returned from a trip and following almost two weeks that I haven’t been to the gym. Unlike years ago, I’m certain that I’ll be back to my workout routine (1 hour, 11 km run, 3 times a week) in a couple of days [...]
OK, so I visited an orthopedic doctor and everything is fine. Apparently this isn’t an orthopedic issue at all – I presumably had a local sub-dermal cellulites infection very close to the knee area. It really hurt a few days ago, but now it seems to be passing. I should be back to regular workouts [...]
I’m suffering from severe pain in my left knee. It started out as an innocent minor annoyance on Sunday morning. In the past such annoyances hadn’t stopped me from working out and this one didn’t either. I went on to run my usual 11km and when I was done I thought the two following days [...]
Today I’m celebrating the 5th anniversary of my road to fitness. I’ve made many changes in my workout routine over the years. This last year, during my 3 months trip, I worked only on my aerobics and so the latest change I made to my gym workouts when I came back 6 months ago was [...]
Yesterday, after posting on the blog, I went to walk the streets of Koh Samui. The place is full of high-end restaurants, pubs and hookers. I didn’t like it at all, as some of the places seemed downright creepy to me. Eventually I sat at an Irish pub called Tropical Murphy’s and had a very [...]
4 years ago I went for the first time into the gym. I almost never missed a workout, which means that for the first 18 months I was at the gym 6 days a week and then I switched to 4 days a week – a more maintainable schedule, considering that I had a girlfriend [...]
I’ve been thinking about moving my daily schedule one hour forward for a long time. Currently I get up at around 5:10am and start the daily workout at around 6am. This is mostly for historical reasons: when I worked out in Motorola’s gym there was only one cross trainer and I wanted to be the [...]
