Love & More - Act 4

 

Picture taken by Kiity after a 9km walk

We added to the history of walking today. The most I consider we have done together - 9Km. Actually more than 9km but let's use the 9-limit today.  

Courtesy the CU Alumni walking challenge in March 2025, I took walking to another level. and Yes, you can say I carried....or should I use dragged...Kiity along with me. 


One of our many walks was at the Cherry Blossom park...Here is a picture in February 2025. 

26th February 2025. 

And then, another picture taken in late March 2025. 

It had blossomed as at 27th March 2025.
                                       
The walks could be through the Amsterdam Bos or around the Amstelveen Poel. I was contemplating walking to Aalsmeer. Kiity pulled back on this one.  





It is always amazing to take the walks with you. I seem to come alive when we do this and can talk on and on. Or maybe I listen on and on, now that I think of it. Kiity would be the best judge of this. 

I averaged 7km per day walking in a week when I measured in February. It seems the tempo has dropped, However, I am increasing the fire with a return to biking. I still need to break the jinx of riding all the way to the office. It is not fun when you have to ride 10km, but I see people do it everyday. It is much easier with an electric bike but that is just an excuse as my colleagues do it with the regular bikes. 

Let's see what I would say next month. 

We try to build memories. I hope we are doing this as I have not been consistent with the Wednesday timeouts. We seem to be building a tradition already with the Friday movie or Friday study. We alternate each Friday. 

But for the walks, this would continue.

The Hyrox

We call it the bootcamp. For today, the activity is called the Hyrox.  As I type, I am yet to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word 'hyrox' to verify if it even exists. I think it should anyway. FYI- I will check after I finish scribbling.  In the picture above are my colleagues at Leaseweb. We had just gone through 35 minutes of some gruesome exercise. They appeared to be simple and light but as you had to do it repetitively, they become tasking and the pain keeps on coming. We do this once a week to encourage people to keep fit or rather create an avenue to exercise despite the bussle of the week. Focus today as on 6 activities and we had to do it in multiple rounds. You can fid the list below: 1. 1km run on the treadmill 2. Burpees  3. Row/Ski 4. Lunges 5. Sit ups  6. Farmer's Carry 7. 1km run on the treadmill. It is good the Coach was unable to spell my name correctly so I am unable to claim a position. But to make it easy for you, I did the least numb...

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

Dam tot Dam 2.0 in 2025

  Ran the 2025 Dam tot Dam loop again in 2025. The Night Run. I did this in 2024 and documented here . This time around, I went in for the fun and thrill. You can imagine that I did not practice as I did the last time. "I had done it a year ago, I must be able to do it again" was my mindset. Never mind that I had added about 3-5kg in weight. I was unbothered and so sure it would be done. Last, Last as we say in pidgin English, " I go waka am " which simply means that I would walk all the way. But I did not have to. In fact, I made it in an earlier time compared to the previous year. I made two phone calls during the run to show how i was just in the mood to enjoy it.  Now that I think of making a better time than the previous year. I consider that I must have been slow in 2024. what improved? I do not know.  I was having a conversation with some colleagues some days ago and they were asking for my running plans for the year 2026. I simply said another 8km. But they...
