Superman day after thanksgiving

THIS update is a day late, since network did not work yesterday properly.

Two sessions today ending with a result: I'm done. Tomorrows day off will come to a shouting need. 2,5 hours on ice and some dry-land workout afterwards for 1,5h. Dry-land included some explosive squats, leg press, slideboard, jumps, bike sprinting and one-legged squats, I will feel it tomorrow in my thighs.

Today I skated probably my fastest 3000 meters ever, during warm-up laps. Of course on inner lane and my fastest time is only huge 4.38 seconds but it's starting to feel really good to just go on ice and skate from the bottom of your heart. I'm starting to learn a new word out here: consistency. Skating hall or really good outdoor ice are the things that make it possible. To train day-by-day concentrating on the right things to improve and take steps of becoming better all the time. Shaping off small errors from technique and improving skating physique in general. Training outside all the time and still be able to improve requires also lots of burning desire and sisu. And sometimes it might even require gaining some animalistic qualities that pinguins and polar bears have been developing through centuries!

Tomorrow I'll go to a meeting of Milwaukee Finnish-American society which is quite exciting. I might even get to speak a bit of Finnish. Also locally a big football game will be on when Superbowl favorites Green Bay Packers meet last years winner New York Giants. Maybe my huge interest to football came during early age when I would have wanted to try out the sport. Don't even know where I had got the whole idea. But finding my own sport from speedskating I really enjoy following football daily as there's always game going on somewhere.
