5 cm once more

The left leg's diameter is 5 cm smaller than right side (measured 10 cm from knee cap).

5 cm

The brace has to go. Doctors order. Feel a bit exited. Also rehabilitation without brace. The best news still were the permission to start bicycling and put load up to my bodyweight for squatting (=75kg).

Now on my way to Finland Fest...so the brace have to stay for one extra day. ;)

Radiation safety lecture

Super useful lecture yesterday. Especially because it was given in japanese. Like the guys at the back row show, the keenest interest by bending body nicely on bridge.

Walking stairs

How this often goes like this...I was supposed to return home 2 hours ago. Hehe, must be some curse that always when I'm about to leave something pops up. Today it was a fight against the first pictures for my new manuscript. I won. Hopefully. We'll see tomorrow what happens with rest of the figures.

Yep, btw the picture in this posting is showing my new traing place. Started walking the new stairs going up to the hill at the back of the pic. 10 times up and down today. Excellent stairs for my knee, the steps are low enough. ;D

Second shower-eating-knee streching-sleeping night for this week. :P

EUROPIAN EMPEROR'S CUP WINNER

Congratulations to Kotooshu!

Summer tournament

Second last day on the Tokyo's Grand Sumo Tournament. Had to woke up 5:30 this morning to get tickets for sold out event (every morning 350 tickets are sold starting at 8am). Tommi and me were 105th and 106th at the queue. Took small nap during the lower level fights. :) Now excitedly waiting evening's Makuuchi level wrestlers fights. Bulgarian Kotooshu has chance to become first European tournament winner in the whole history of sumo! He has now 12 wins and closest challenger has only 10 points. As there is only two days left Kotooshu may have reason for celebration after today's fight...

Rainy season approaching

Rainy season and taifuuns comming to make sure that we'll not going to totally burn our skins in starting summer. 2 pictures from Tama river, Sunday and today. Bet that no one would like to go swimming today even temperature is +25 C...I guess a taifuun's edge went near to Tokyo last night.
