Wow, I had to dig deep for my thread. Has it really been four months already? I'm sorry for not saying 'hi' those past months.
The good news is that nothing bad happened. I'm still in one piece. I haven't accidentally shot myself in the head, chopped of my leg, or got run over by a tractor. That has to count for something. Maybe the opposite was the case. I had so many good things happening to me that I barely found the time to log into the internet for some recreation. That's why Darebee fell a bit off the table, sadly. And that after you guys gave me your support whenever I had a hard time. I'll try to be more active from now on.
If anyone's interested, here's what I did in fitness terms the past months:
-I completed Age of Pandora. Part One I did twice, because my decision at the end led to the story being finished after part one. I didn't want to cheat, so I did it again to get "permission" to do Part Two. I enjoyed the program a lot.
-I completed the 8 Weeks to 5K program. I took Hime with me during the runs. She's a very active husky by now and you can't see that she was fat when I got her.
-I took up boxing and train two times a week. Someone moved into town and opened a small free-time boxing gym. I'll never compete, probably, because of my weight class, but that's okay
-I started lifting with a Barbell because I'm fed up with my legs and arms being sticks. My other half is training me and it's not very pleasant, but we manage.
What else is new? I had a lot to do in my shop. I can't remember when I last had so much to do. It's calming down now, but I loved every day of it.
I built a lot of bows over the past weeks, trying to find out how to build the simplest and most effective bow. There'll be a summer camp around town in July for kids with an Indian theme, and I got asked to do a bow-building workshop. I honestly feel a bit flattered about it. Probably too excited, but that's just me.
I had the best May in a long time this year, because I sent my brother a birthday card. And all birthday cards I've written over the past twenty years. I received a letter from him, asking if we could talk over the phone. I last had contact with him twenty-two years ago. We've been talking on the phone three times already and he might visit in the summer.
There are other things going on, but those are the ones I felt like sharing. I missed you guys, and will catch up with you over the next days.
