Hi all

My achilles tendon is still aching and my knees have begun to hurt as well… But I am still running regularly (3 times a week) and today I made it to 9.58km in 50 minutes. Definitely not as fast as I used to be, but it feels great to be running again.

I am only running on a thread mill in order to try to not be mean to the achilles tendon. It can get boring to run on a thread mill, but it is better than nothing. I have bought a music system so I can listen to music while I am running and I am using my Garmin Forerunner 305 to measure pulse while running.

I have also started using Endomondo – you can find my account at http://www.endomondo.com/profile/390235.

Hi all

So… finally… I joined a gym again. just went there this morning for the first time in 3 years or so.

I ran 2,5-3km with an average speed of 10,6km/h – I need to take it slow because I have some pain in one of my Achilles tendons which is bugging me.

Hopefully I will keep up training and get back into shape… or at least partly!

Just watched the “Valhalla Rising” movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862467/) yesterday.

Boring, weird and silent… I never figured out what it was about.

Hi all

Today we ended our one-week camping trip. We stayed at Løkken Klit Camping (http://www.loekkenklit.dk/index.php) which was OK.

We have this large tent (http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/tents/p/Outwell-Idaho-L/550) which kept us dry the entire week, luckily, because there was some rain during the week.

Now for some quite days at home and then we will see what the rest of the summer vacation brings

Hi all

In my previous post I wrote that I would be creating a couple of new blogs. I have given that some thought and I have consolidated further and have come up with these two blogs:

http://blogs.eliasen.dk/personal which is my personal blog. I have moved all posts from http://jan.eliasen.dk to this new blog. The new RSS feed is: http://blogs.eliasen.dk/personal/syndication.axd – please update your feeds.

http://blogs.eliasen.dk/technical which is my technical blog. I have moved all posts from http://blog.eliasen.dk to this new blog. The new RSS feed is: http://blogs.eliasen.dk/technical/syndication.axd – please update your feeds.

Also, there is a new blog at http://blogs.eliasen.dk – this will simply consist of posts regarding how the http://blogs.eliasen.dk blog subdomain evolves, ie. updates to blog software and so on. Follow this at the RSS feed at http://blogs.eliasen.dk/syndication.axd

If anything isn’t working, please let me know!

Hi all

Because the very new BlogEngine.NET supports multiple blogs in one installation, I have decided to consolidate my blogs into http://blogs.eliasen.dk/ where I will be creating an http://blogs.eliasen.dk/personal for this blog, an http://blogs.eliasen.dk/biztalk for my BizTalk blog and a brand new blog at http://blogs.eliasen.dk/azure for my findings with Azure.

This means that anyone following this blog using RSS should redirect their RSS readers to point to http://blogs.eliasen.dk/Personal/syndication.axd instead.

Thanks. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi all

I am currently on a camping trip and I have started reading the book called 100 essential things you didn’t know you didn’t know. Find it here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/100-Essential-Things-Didnt-Know/dp/1847920039

Basically it goes through 100 things/phenomenons/mathhematical puzzles and explains them.

I have read the first four now, which deals with:

• Why pylons are made up of triangles
• Why it is easier to walk on a tightrope with a pole in hands – sometimes even with buckets of sand at the ends
• The fat that the saying that given enough time, an army of monkeys will write the entire collection of Shakespeare’s
• How you can determine how many more error are in a book, given the number of error that are already found

All in all an interesting read until now, and also quite easy to go to – each subject takes up only 2 or 3 pages.

Go buy!

Hi all

Just a quick post to let you all know that I have just been re-awarded the MVP title in BizTalk for the fifth time in all and for the fourth time in a row.

Happy to be re-awarded as always, naturally.

Hi all

I just took the test that you need to pass to become a citizen in Denmark – find it here: http://www.b.dk/helpers/quiz/?id=188

Luckily I passed (just) so I can stay Danish

Some of the questions were really easy, but some were just plain guesses and some of them went well. I got 33 correct out of 40 and you need 32 to pass.

Phew.

Hi all

Yesterday my wife and I celebrated having been together for 12½ years.

In Denmark we celebrate it when people have been married for 12½ years so we thought we’d celebrate it a bit since we have now been together for 12½ years. There’s still almost 5 years until we have been married for 12½ years, but time sure is running

Anyways, we went to Fårup Sommerland, which is a Danish amusement park and had a great time there.
