Watch the Olympics live streaming free on Youtube

Watch the Olympics live streaming free on Youtube - at the official IOC channel. In a historic move - IOC will be providing live coverage of many events for the first time on Youtube. In Beijing - some feeds and clips had been provided online officially.

ESPN Star Sports meanwhile will be covering the Olympics live on cable TV in India. For those who dont have cable access - the live streaming of the games on Youtube is a blessing for sports lovers.

The IOC channel wil provide 2200 hours of Olympics coverage in 64 countries. There will be many featured interviews of athletes - so one doesnt have to rely on twitter for up-to-date information!

New Place, New Equipment, New Commitment

I have just shifted to a new place, a new country. Together with adjusting with everything - I had to hunt for a gym nearby. And bingo! The colony that I have shifted into has a more or less well equipped gym with trainers. There is a jogging path too nearby. Its made of concrete so I havent tried it yet. I have put in 4-5 hours in the gym so far and it feels good. Have been relatively lazy and out of touch since the last time I was online. Will keep updated on diet and all soon

What is happening with my fitness?

Almost half a year gone and I haven't logged anything. I did have a lot of fitness issues the last few months. Will go over them in details later. For now, I have slightly changed my fitness regime. Reading my last posts I realise I was doing a lot of uphill walk on the treadmill. Nowadays I just jog 2-3 kms at a stretch and walk and then jog some more. Around 40 minutes per session. Looking at the skin tone - it looks decidedly unhealthy - I have incorporated some out walks / jogs in my schedule. So I have been walking outdoors at least twice a week. If I can make it to the park - I jog there.

Yesterday - Around 5 kms at the park. Jogged for 3.5 kms. Really refreshing. I have a major exam coming up. After it is over - i need to start my uphill / incline training on the treadmill. Really builds up stamina as well as upper body strength.

Still a long way to go before my first marathon. Can I make one in December this year...lets see.

Just because I havent been logging my efforts doesnt mean I have no fitness regime going!
