Thought to drop and ask how all you ppl are doing? The current situation affecting your live ?

Over here they just declared emergency powers and told people to stay at homes as much as possible.. as far as other parts of life, been going ok, now working as a team lead. Other changes going on as well but those I can't yet talk about, haven't yet informed certain people about those yet..

Stupidly, after literally 10 years, I've finally reset my password and updated my email so that I can log back into this board.

I live in Israel, the Coronavirus was almost eradicated here,. but now new surge is up (wave 2).

welcome back =)

Here in Finland the restrictions are now slowly being lifted off, and there is a lot less reporting about the situation. Interestingly I have seen some reports that too much isolation has actually made things worse (not just financially due to lost jobs etc, but also due to infections being more likely). Hopefully the 2nd wave doesn't hit badly.

Doing good here (personally). Other than staying at home as much as possible, things have been ok.

Being the start of the winter, infections have begun to rise, as people are getting tired of being locked at home.

Yeah, pretty much the same here too. Today the snow had fallen down and covered the ground as well. And of course 2nd wave or 3rd wave and whatever the media wants to scare us with.. these days media seems to either scare us or tell of days of public figures lives. Oh well, certain things in live that are now going on have certainly changed me a bit I guess.
I think in many places the situation was completely overblown out of proportions, and the long term economic damage from the decisions wasn't a consideration.. as opposed for any traffic related things, they always calculate whether not fixing is more expensive than actually fixing But I digress..

Few more months passed and I got vaccinated with the pfizer vaccine (1 out of 2 shots).
So far its OK, other than my new tail and my newly 6th finger growth I cannot tell I see any difference

In Israel, we are in our 3rd quarantine, expecting it to be the last as we move very aggressively with the vaccination process.

Hope you are all doing OK and healthy.

Doing fine, despite some turmoil in life. Have had 1st shot of vaccine and being healthy. Going to run marathon at Stockholm on 9th of October.

Hope you had a good marathon.
In Tel Aviv we have the Tel-Aviv Night Run (only 10K) in November 10th, and later in February the Samsung Marathon (42, 21, 10, 5 KMs - pending on what you sign up for).
I'm a 10K walker

Sounds nice. Perhaps I will consider those runs at some point. Next year my plan is to just do half marathon on spring + full marathon on autumn. Should let the body rest sometimes.

Another year+ went by,
The flame is still burning

I just stumbled across this site again, and wow does this bring back memories! I hope everyone is well.

I'm sure everyone is safe and well

I guess I'm one of the few who still browse here every now and then... had ended up taking a longer break from running but have now picked it up again. And have a new wife =)

As the years pass by... seems that my body is fighting me trying to keep fit )
few tears in shoulder tendons,.. so now still fighting it with different hand movements, trying to increase strengh of the arms and shoulders.

I've put 1kg weighs on my arms/wrists (on each side of course) and 1.5kg on my ankles (and of course again on each leg) and carry a bag with 6kg (which I alternate every 1 km of walk to be on my front and then on my back) and walk for 6 km every few days.

walking and waiving my arms like British queen's guard - raising my hands above my shoulders and swinging it up/down with every step (and having the 1 kg on each hand becomes very heavy very fast).

Hopefully, I'll gain enough power and strengh from this heavy activity so that after a month, I can start doing SUP again.
