On Saturday the 28th I went ice skating in The Hague again. From the start it didn't feel as good as I was used to so I took it easy focusing on some exercises. Before the break I skated around 70 laps, after the break I ended at 100. During the last few laps I recognized Barbara de Loor a famous Dutch speed skater who was giving a clinic. After the clinic see did a lap at full speed, which was nice to see.

On Saturday the 21st of January Fenneke and I went ice skating in The Hague again. This time I took it easy and tried a few different exercises. Because of this I didn't achieve my goal of skating 110 laps, I ended up skating 108 laps instead with 67 laps before the break. I'll be going ice skating again in a couple of hours so let's see how it goes today.

The weather here in The Netherlands is changing this week, it finally starts feeling like winter! The predicted temperatures are around freezing point during the day and between -5 to -10 degrees Celsius during the nights. Perhaps next we will be standing on some real ice instead of inside an ice rink!

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.
