Announce

Thursday...... blog day, I enjoyed the sun this afternoon which shines exuberantly on my balcony. In any case, I had plenty of distraction this afternoon because exactly opposite my flat, the flats present there are being refurbished and some of them equipped with large solar panels on the lift houses. I am always surprised by the pace that the workers use, which is not really fast. But that doesn't take away from the fact that I'm only having a good time watching.

Sign up Strong Viking Run
Registrations for the Viking Run are pouring in. Now I have personally been to Wijchen and a little later to Hellendoorn and my findings of both Runs are of such a nature that I prefer Wijchen by far. Now it also counts that we had fantastic weather in Wijchen, but all in all, our first run together is in the top place, so people, if you want to have a nice day, sign up!!

Beastside Fitness
Friday, the day this blog goes online, Beastside will be held for the 2nd time in the Fitness, a spectacle of the highest order. Training with live DJ, banging beats and club lights as Jerry announced on Facebook. However, we have learned from the first edition, so there will be a little more light, especially in the corners of the gym. There it turned out to be a bit too dark to train nicely.

Superkids
Last Monday, it was late afternoon, I popped into the Dojo. What immediately struck me was the large number of youth members who were on the mat. What also stood out was the fun these boys and girls had among themselves. The great animator of this group was Jeremy, who clearly had a good time himself. In his own way, swinging and singing, he taught the Kids and what I understood, the end of the lesson ends with a game. He had divided the athletes into 2 rows and they had to go from the lowering screen as quickly as possible through certain obstacles to the end of the Dojo and back again. The loudspeakers were at full volume during this run and truly most parents/supervisors passionately stirred up their offspring and there were those who were swinging along to the music. I have only seen beaming faces after this lesson, both with the athletes and the parents. There were even 2 parents who went swinging out the door. Great advertisement for our Dojo!

Check in
It's well known by now that I regularly glance at my computer to see if everything is going well at our Dojo. Especially after the original closing time. During such a routine look, I was shocked to see someone bare-chested exercising. Now I'm anything but a prude, but only from a hygiene point of view I don't think this is possible. Especially if no towel is used. Afterwards I had contact with the person in question and asked if he would not do this anymore. What still strikes me is the fact that you don't check in the gym when you enter with several people. However, everyone adheres to the use of the drop, regularly see several people enter with a drop and as agreed individual check-in, however, when they arrive at the top, they forget to scan separately. It's oh so important that we know who's inside so please scan people!! It's a small effort. Of course it can also be read when using drop, but the check-in via the scanner can be seen immediately for me, hence this request.

Until my next blog.
