So, Linda and I set a hash last Saturday. I walked 21.4 km setting the various trails (runner's and walker's splits, false trails, etc).

People seemed to enjoy themselves.

For those who enjoy walking and/or running, I highly recommend finding a local hash (AKA Hash House Harriers, not the drug); different chapters exist all over the world. Their slogan is "A drinking club with a running problem!" so you know it's going to be fun!

I went ice skating on the "Langeraarse Plassen". It only happens once every ~5 years that it is possible to do that, as it is quite a big body of water (>1 km2)

They're Tour skates (recreational ice skates for natural ice)
I wouldn't call them speedskates, but they're not icehockey skates either.

The shoe is more or less the same as for Nordic Skiing (cross-country skiing/langlaufen) and the skate is attached at the nose (your heel is loose when you push of hard).

Huh. I figure skated for several years, so that's more or less foreign to me. Especially the "not attached at the heel" bit lol

Blatant self promotion post (sorry for this)...

My girlfriend's architectural practice's new web site just went live. Making a "mobile friendly" site for such a firm is a royal pain in the butt, but is necessary for SEO rankings.
