preferences

i exercise anything between 7 and 14 hours a week  - on average i would say maybe 9 or 10. even though this is not that big of an amount i have been called, on various occasions and by several people, obsessive - something i, even if i were to agree with it, don´t really see as a negative. which i guess rather proves the point.

however moving and using my body is an inseparable part of what i consider to be my personality. it sometimes puzzles me why people don´t, generally speaking, do it more - i´m quite convinced the world would as a whole be a much better place if everybody would just get out there a bit more. but then again, who am i to judge or tell others what to do - just as i don´t necessarily appreciate being questioned whether i should get a life instead of cutting a boring evening out short because i want to get up early in the morning to do something i consider dear.

sometimes, of course, this very strong need i have to exercise daily (preferably twice a day) poses problems. more of those maybe on another occasion.

i realized i picked  a very unfavorable time of the year to start this blog. the mornings are really dark, and as fantastic as the iphone otherwise is, the camera doesn´t always deliver when faced with a serious lack of light. 

eventually, when the snow and ice kick in, i may be forced to take pictures of the treadmill i´ll be spending my mornings on.
