After a few weeks working in my garden, I finally started to run again.
Last weekend I created myself a training schedule that I have to follow. My first goal is to run 1 hour uninterrupted again.

Today’s run wasn’t that hard, although it was raining really hard, I didn’t had any difficulty’s.
I’ve started to run at a normal pace. 4 runs of 5 minutes each with a minute walking in between. On Wednesday and Friday I’ll have to run this also.
Sunday I play soccer, so this is a kind of interval training then at a very high pace, knowing myself.

I’ve created my training schedule so I have a run on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And each week my training changes. Next week I have to run for 6 minutes, walk 1 minute, run 7 minutes, walk 1 minute again and finally run for 6 minutes again. So still not that hard, but I’ve learned that running with a decent tempo takes time.

Last year I’ve ran the 15k here in Hasselt and my time wasn’t that good comparing to others, but I was very happy with it.
Hopefully I can keep up with the training and I can run an even faster time next year on the 15k.
Maybe half a marathon is an option by then.

Anyhow I’ll keep you posted from time to time.

In the next few days I’m also going to look for a new heart rate watch. At the moment the Polar RS200SD scores the highest points to me for a reasonable prices watch where you also can track your distance with.
Does anyone have any experience with a good heart rate watch?

Surprise surprise, after all the hard work I’ve done, Google gave me a PageRank 2 yesterday
Looks like the SEO stuff is paying off.
This sure will keep me motivated to continue getting links from other blogs in the future.
AND, I’ll continue to help others who are willing to participate in the link exchange that I’ve launched a few weeks back in my post ‘Google Pagerank update’.
Until now only 3 site’s participated, but they sure will be happy receiving my PR2 linkback now. You can find the latest 5 links at the right column on every page of this site and in my linking page you can find all of them.

And now a feedback question: “Does Google like you to?”

9 to 10 months a go I bought myself a pair of Adidas F30 soccer boots.  And my experience with them is that they’re great, too bad I can’t use them anymore now. So I went to the store thinking I was going to buy a new pair of Adidas boots.
When I tried the new F30’s, they seem to fit very well, although I don’t have small feet. But when I walked and jumped a little bit to really try them out I felt a lot of pressure in my foot from the shoe. Turns out my feet are a bit to wide for these boots.
Up to new soccer boots then, but what to choose. There are so many different pairs of shoes to chose from. I asked a guy who was working there for some info what to look for.
He asked me what kind of player I was? So I told him I play as a left fielder or as an striker. And that I always take the freekicks and penalties.
He immediately told me that I needed a light, synthetic shoe that will give me total control over the ball and is nice to run with because if you play in the midfield you’ll have to do a lot of running.
The Adidas F30 and F50 are ideal for a kind of player like me, but out of the picture because they’re too small and the F50 is to expensive in my opinion. He showed me some Nike Total 90 Strike FG soccer boots instead.
I tried them on and they immediately fitted very well, even when I walked and jumped a bit. Didn’t felt any pain in my foot from the shoe itself. After this pair I tried a few other pairs but there wasn’t any other pair that fitted like the Nike’s.
According to the guy from the store this pair has a big advantage against other soccer boots, only the Adidas Predator is similar. It features a clean strike zone for improved accuracy, swerve and power. At least that’s what they say. I didn’t tested it yet. Next Sunday I’m going to try them out for real.
I hope I can play as many good matches an score even more goals with these shoes as with the previous one’s.

Half an hour a go the 2007 F1 Season ended with a winner nobody thought still could win.
Kimi Raikkonen claimed the 2007 F1 World Championship just in front of the unfortunate Luis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
As the race started, Hamilton made a little error when trying to overtake his teammate Alonso claimed the third place from Hamilton.
Hamilton who just had to made sure he finished at least on the 5th place to win the championship was a little nervous it seemed.
Just a lap later he made a 2nd mistake that almost cost him the race by just not going of track. A bit later his McLaren was very slow by an technical error but he stayed calm and corrected the error to continue the race.
Although he did fallback to the 18th place he made a comeback to place number 7 by overtaking car after car. Especially how he passed by Barichello was showing his driving skills.
I surely hoped that Kubica and Rosberg got into a small accident at the time they’re were fighting for the 4th place, so Hamilton still could end on his needed 5th place, but unfortunately for him they didn’t.

The Iceman Raikonnen gained the lead by overtaking his teammate Massa after a pitstop to make sure people wouldn’t talk about team orders
But he surely did deserve to win the World Title, after all he won the most races this season.

A remarkable entrance was the return of a Nakajima into the Formula 1. 20 years after his father Saturo raced a F1 car, Kazuki made his debut. He finished on the 10th place and almost sended one of his team-members for plastic surgery in Miami. When he went in for a pitstop he came in a little to hard and started to slide the last few meters, hitting in to 2 people of his team.

After a Thriller season, Hamilton, Alonso or Raikonnen all did deserve the World Title, but it was the surprising Hamilton that went home with the Trophy.
Really too bad for Hamilton, but he will have the Rookie of the Year debut for a long long time I think.

Being from Europe, Belgium to be exact, we convert every Dollar to our own Euro currency. At the moment 1 Euro is worth 1,4207 Dollar. In 2002 when the Euro was introduced it was cheaper then the Dollar. But after a while the Euro rate gradually rise against the Dollar. For the Europeans who’re visiting Amerika, it’s a very good thins, because they can get a lot further for the same money. To Europeans it’s cheaper to buy stuff from Amerika.
Downside of this all is that the European Companies who’re selling stuff in Amerika are actually making less money.
So at the moment if I earn 50$ with my blog, I’m actually earning about 35€.
But I’m not complaining , today I’ve ordered some clothes via some sites in the USA. It will cost me 400$ for the clothes itself and for shipment to Belgium. But if I should buy the same clothes here I’ll have to pay 180$ more. I’m expecting them to arrive next Friday.

Another thing I’ve did today was reading George Jr. articles, an article from Patrick Altoft. The article is about the Lindemann family in Florida, one of the richest families of the world. Sure check it out.

Also we (me, my girlfriend and my lovely daughter) went to visit a cousin of my gf. He became father of a little baby-girl a few months back, but until today we didn’t got the time to visit them and when we got time he or is wife didn’t got the time . It’s unbelievable how little babies are. My daughter becomes 2 in January and she looked so big today, I totally couldn’t believe she was that little to once.
Now only hope my girlfriend didn’t got the baby fever again
