Currently I'm having finals, so all my physical training is laying low. Next week I'm getting back to really training.

I almost did one chin-up last week, but I couldn't complete it unfortunately. The parkour is yet to get started (I didn't get it to fit in with learning for my finals). Training starts next week Thursday.

Thanks for asking. :-)

How are your resolutions coming?

good luck! Mine are not going well at all. I've actually gotten worse with my running instead of better. I could blame the weather or work but the truth is I've not made the time. I signed up for a 10 mile race in March which essentially gives me all of Feb to train.

I've not been good about food either. I will change that immediately. Once I'm running a lot, it's hard to eat bad food. -I feel more guilty.

I've been a better husband but it's funny how running and diet even impact that.

Thanks for asking.

Small things have a bigger impact than you would expect. For example, start drinking water instead of soda and you will feel a lot better after a while. Minor change, big effect.

I really admire your new years resolution to be a better dad. Keep it up and be the most awesome dad you can be. Your little one will love you for it :-)

Thanks, I don't drink any soda though. My big problem is food. I tend to grab a quick bite to eat too often which means slices of pizza, burgers et cetera. I need to get back into a healthier diet. But that doesn't include quitting soda, because I really never drink it. -horrible stuff IMO. Beer though....

I was reivigorated by this video to begin a more strident running regiment.

Ah, junk food. It's just too damn tasty (and available everywhere around here). Beer is a social drink for me, so I don't drink it too often, even though I live in the Netherlands :P

I loved the video. Also, TNGpodcast is on my follow list :P Good luck with the diet and the running.

Thanks! Would you ever be interested in participating in a podcast? You've been on Hubski a while, it'd be nice to have you on board.

Sure, I would love to help. Just give me a holler.
