Routine of the Day – Run, Pullups, Dips, Go!

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

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.
