Swimming Sport


I still go running but there are days when I have aching muscles. But I dislike the idea to do nothing at days when my legs can’t run. So, I had the glorious idea to look for an alternative sport so that I can fill these days.

Well, today was that day. Since some time, my new motto is “Stop thinking, start doing it”, … Continue reading Swimming Sport

That’s usually also the time where I go running, and after that I can’t await the shower, it feels … Continue reading Sunburned

It’s not just about how warm it is, but also about other factors like humidity. But I am sure I wrote about this a ton of times. Today we had 33 degree celsius, while they said in the news that they had 28 degrees in Mexico and 27 degree in Hawaii. It’s just the end of May, and we do already have temperatures that do … Continue reading Obligatory “I Hate Hot Weather” Post
