19-04-2016 swimming, action (13-04-2016)

Last Wednesday we went swimming again. There was a small improvement. We swam 32 laps, that is two more than the last time. We managed to take fewer breaks and swim and to swim a bit faster.

I baked a cake for a friend's birthday. I spent about the whole afternoon baking and decorating.

9-04-2016 running (action)

Today I went for the first time running. I used the app but the app didn't work very well. I ran for an hour and I think that I ran about 4-5 km. I haven't run in a long time so it was a bit hard to run and to get the motivation. My goals for the next time are that I take less pauses and run longer distances in one time.
In the picture you can see that I ran about an hour but the distance is not right and the amount of calories burnt is also not right. You can also see where I ran and that is about right. I will be looking for an other app to use.

08-04-2016 ongoing event (action) running

I want to start running once a week. My goals is to run 5,5-6 km in hour. The days I run are Saturday or Sunday. I will be using the app Runtastic to record the running, and see how many kilometers I have run and in what amount of time.  

6-04-2016 ongoing activity (action) swimming

Today a friend and I went swimming. We want to go swimming from now on every week. We swam 30 laps and that is 1.5 kilometer. It took us about 1 hour to do this. Before we went swimming we made the goal to try do to 30 laps in 1 hour. We took several breaks in between so our goal for the next times will be that we take less breaks and try to swim continuously and increase the amount of laps in 1 hour. A reasonable amount of laps for the next few weeks will be about 35. This is the first time that we went swimming and we wanted to try it out first and set a little goals only for today to see how we will be doing. It was fine and we enjoyed it and we will continue swimming.

31-03-2016 CAS project (part 3)

Today we went to the retirement home for the last time. We were there at around 14:15 and we left at around 16:30. Today was the birthday coffee and we first helped setting up. After setting up we went checking on the people who were supposed to come. We never know how many people attend the event because you cannot force them or them might not be able to come due to their flexibility. Some might even be in the hospital. After we went checked on the people, which we do to ask if they need help for coming down and to remind them that there is an event. The event for today was for all the people that had birthday that month and they were allowed to bring one guest. The retirement home does this event every month. The people had cake and coffee and we talked to them. It was nice talking to them and to get to know them a little better. After the event was done we helped cleaning up and thanked the people for being able to do our CAS project at the retirement home.
