(68th) Chuck Norris

As every respectable warrior, I'd like to think I started this day by pushing the world back on it's place (rather than pushing myself up), as Chuck Norris could be imagined to do. For those who don't know, Chuck Norris is the official Dude for us everyday warriors. Now my world is in it's place.

What I actually mean here is the fact that my world seems to be more in it's place after this mornings excercise. I feel better, more limber, and even more capable of starting the workday. I hereby express my gratitude to Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee and any other 80's karate -star (excluding the Karate Kid), as well as to Ross Enamait and Matt Furey for giving me inspiration on putting my world on it's place. Just wondering, do I have to be nearly 40-years old before I understand this sort of things? Apparently, so it seems :D


And it's briefly in here, too: http://twitter.com/jankka, with the typo, twitter is still missing the editing possibilities :D

(65th) The weakest link

Sad to say, no pic for today. No Bicycle driving either. Here in Stockholm it has been quite heavy snowfall since yesterday, and the scenes are beautiful. I was looking forward to exhaust myself today while on my way to work. As usual, it seems taht the road/snow-workers know when to have the day off and it definitely seems that they're having the well deserved coffee-breaks together with so famous swedish discussion. Instead of the thing to be done, at least this is my opinion. I recall in Finland, after this type of snowfall, the roads were cleaned through the night, including the bicycle roads. So, as you see, it would've been exhaustive and really nice to get me here.
But the point being is, that lately (last week it is) I've noticed something weird on my chain or in my gears, waas not sure what it was, but figured that some spray could grease up the chains and gears, and so sort things out. Luckily I did the 'greasing' this moring in a brighter light than last evening. The lock of my chain was almost broken. Meaning that the other end of the lock-part was completely gone. Phew! I was actually, besides being pissed for NOT getting to ride the bike, releafed that I found it out before it got completely broken. Thinking about my luck it would've been broken on the way here, in the uphill near Solvalla, in the midway of the whole route. And there would've I been, thinking should I go home and take the car or should I walk to work instead :D

So, things being like this, I just had to made my pushup -excercise instead. And yes, I'm on my way to do the http://hundredpushups.com , but the week 6 proved to be way too hard for me at the moment, so I'm back on week 4, day 1.
