On Saturday the 14th of January I went ice skating in The Hague again. I felt pretty good and aimed for at least 110 laps. Before the break I already skated 87 laps so by then I knew the 110 was an achievable goal. After the break I pushed through and managed to skate a total of 125 laps (50 km) which is a new record. Tomorrow I'll be going again and am aiming for 110 again. Let's see what happens...

On Saturday the 7th of January we went ice skating again. This time Fenneke and I went with a couple of friends. It was pretty crowded on the ice but we had a good time. We went a bit shorter than usual so I ended up skating 77 laps (30,8 km). After the ice skating we spent the rest of our day playing board games and having a nice dinner.

On the last day of 2011 I went ice skating in The Hague again. I didn't go skating for a couple of weeks, so I was curious about how it would go. The moment I hit the ice I felt good so I decided to try to go for at least 105 laps, just like last time. Before the break I already skated 75 laps so I knew 105 was an achievable goal. After the break it still went fine so I went for 110 laps (44 km). After the 110 laps I still had enough energy to go on, but it was time to go. Before the season is over I'm hoping to hit the 120 or even 125 laps.

A little over a month ago Fenneke and I went hiking near "De Bilt", a town in the middle of the Netherlands. It was a beautiful (and a bit cold) Saturday morning, so we decided to drive to the middle of the country where there are some nice forests. It was a great hike of about 15 km. We saw a lot of rabbits, a few cows and even some wild horses. We didn't do any hiking since this hike, because the weather in the Netherlands has been rainy for quite some time now. We're looking forward to some cold winter weather with some snow.
