Double hundreds on the rower! @ Spudds Gym http://instagr.am/p/RnPO/
@codepo8 That was prior to the actual start. 🙂 But form tips are definitely welcome! I am not a natural rower.
@carbolicious Wait, wait. BERN is on Twitter? @PastorBern? Cool! I watched him play softball! 🙂

Just completed a 6.07 km run with RunKeeper – Nice run in a gentle rain!
Two weeks ago I got an email from someone at SKINS asking if I’d be interested in testing out their new A400 Active range. “Uh, sure!” I said. They also invited me to create a Landmark Challenge on their new Facebook app. The idea is that you post photos or a video of yourself attempting some sort of fitness feat and then everyone else is challenged to try it and post their scores. I immediately thought of my weekly attempts at Spudds to get 100m in 20s on the rowing machine. So what the hell! I had Spudds record a video of my attempt on Monday night:
I honestly had NO IDEA that I make those grimaces when I’m rowing. GRRRR! Fierce Kris is FIERCE! 🙂
Anyway, my Challenge went live on the Facebook app and you can see it by scrolling down on the “Featured Challenges” list to “Rowing Machine Challenge.” So far I think mine is the only Challenge submitted by the public. I can’t wait to see if anybody else has a go. I’m going to see if I can get my double-hundreds tonight.
Oh! And they sent me a pair of Women’s 3/4 Compression Tights today, so I’ll be testing and reporting on those very shortly… Thanks SKINS!
Update: I got my double hundreds today! New Challenge score is officially 200m. 🙂
If they had a referendum tomorrow, I’d vote to become a republic. Of course I would. HOWEVER – as a dedicated fan of fairy tales, monarchies, and happy endings (in much the same delusional fashion as Muriel Heslop and Blair Waldorf), I am ALL ABOUT the royal wedding. Yay! Where can I get on a waiting list for a commemorative plate?

@SallyPompom Submitted!
@witty_knitter @SallyPompom I just got it, so it’s on its way. Lovely letter, Sally.
@carbolicious Was never much of a fan of kimbap, mostly because of the nori. I’m just getting to like it now though!
RT @mobileembrace: We’re particularly excited by this: http://bit.ly/9YZtx2
I’ve actually just uploaded a Challenge of my own! I got Spudds to shoot video of me on the rowing machine last night. The Challenge is to get your best distance in two 20s sets with a 10s rest interval. I managed 100m / 98m last night, but I’m gunning for double hundreds!

Awww, they sent ’em to Disneyland? THAT’S AWESOME! I may have gotten a little teary. I blame hormones.

How did you ever get a woman as awesome as me? :)”
Snook: “Sideburns.”
