Routine of the Day – Run, Pullups, Dips, Go!
Posted by bradinator in Fitness, Routines on January 10, 2010
It is the middle of January and its +7c. There is no way I am not going to take this opportunity to run.
Routine of the Day – You have 30 minutes to complete the following:
- Run 4KM
Use the remaining time to finish as many rounds as possible of
- 10 Pullups (Chest to Bar)
- 10 Ring Dips
The run took exactly 21:00 minutes. With the remaining 9:00 minutes I managed to get 10 rounds of the pullups and dips on the buzzer.
Beer Review – Yukon Red’s Amber Ale
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Beer Tasting on January 10, 2010
Name: Yukon Red’s Amber Ale
Origin: Yukon, Canada
Style: Amber Ale (5.5%)
Appearance: Light brown with a reddish tone to it. Pours with a medium, foamy head which shrinks down but leaves a healthy filmy top.
Taste: Sweet, toffee like aroma. The inital mouthful is sweet, with notes of caramel and toasted malts. This amber ale finishes bitter, with spicy hops. The bitter aftertaste does linger for a long time after the drink is finished, but I find it pleasent.
Mouth Feel: It is a very soft, easy drinking beer. Not overly filling and not sharp at all.
Final Thoughts (4.0 out of 5): An excellent beer. The range of sweet and bitter flavours is balanced exceptionally well making it enjoyable from the moment it touches the tongue to when it fills your belly.
