First real winter ride
Before Christmas I went out for the first real snow ride this winter. The forest was very beautiful and the ride was very cool. The snow was just perfect, not too frozen but not to wet eater. The bike was slipping a bit but I didn't fall. I was feeling the lack of outdoor training and although I had two sock and an overshoe my big toes got frozen.
We had a little photo shoot also and here are the best pictures:
And my favorite picture:
More pictures here.
On this ride I tested my Christmas present that I got from myself, a pair of hand warmers which were great so only my toes were cold.
Stats:
- distance: 15,33 km
- average speed: 12,7 km/h
- maximum speed: 38,2 km/h
- time: 1:11:59

Song of the week #50
I was listening to this song a lot a year ago before I was actually driving home for Christmas.

Winter training
Two weeks ago I started my bodybuilding training again. Last year I wrote about my training program, this year I have a light program. For the first few weeks I am on a come back program. I'm training 4 times a week and I'm doing exercises for all the major upper body muscle groups. For my legs I started training on my trainer at home a few weeks ago. I don't have a training program yet, I try to get on the bike at least once a week and I try to ride for more than an hour.
I am training every weekday except Wednesday when I have a rest day. I usually train from 8:30 am, I am training in the morning because in the morning the testosterone level is higher and the training is more effective. I'm doing one or two exercises for each muscle group but I repeat one exercise only 3 times. I'm doing exercises in this order first chest, then shoulders, back, triceps and biceps. After only two weeks of workout I am starting to get back in shape and I started to increase the weights which I use.
Next year after the holidays I will have another week of warm up exercises and after that I will focus on only two major muscle groups every day. I will write another post when I will have the final program :)

Duatlon Challenge Targu Mures
Saturday I went to take some pictures at the la Duatlon Challenge Targu Mures. I couldn't race because I cought a cold and I couldn't breathe normally.
The weather was great, it was very warm so a lot of people showed up to race. I watched the kid race and then I took a few pictures from the start of the older kids :)
I was very happy when I saw how many toys were gathered, the sign up fee was a toy :)

The health benefits of donating blood
I've been planning for a long time to donate blood but I kept delaying it. But tomorrow morning I will be at the hospital :)
There are a lot of benefits of donating blood. I've been searching on the web and I found a good post on livestrong.com which enumerates some of the benefits of the donation:
- you get a physical, you get a basic physical from a health care worker at the blood collection clinic
- lower iron levels every time you give blood, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease
- reduce cancer risk
- reduce heart attack risk
- help your body function more efficiently by allowing it to replenish your blood supply regularly
- if you have high blood pressure it is recommended to donate blood regularly

Scrap omlet
I just love making leftover omelet Saturday morning, I just look into the fridge and get everything out, everything I can mix with the scrambled eggs.
In this omelet I had some leftover sausages, grated parmesan, sliced olives and some cheese on top. And don't' forget the colorful pickles.
Eggs are a very good glue, you can mix everything you have in the fridge and make a beautiful and delicious meal :)
