Sick of being injured. No run today.

First run in a few weeks this morning. Felt pretty heavy and slow. Much slower pace than a few weeks ago… Good to get out there again though. Hopefully injuries will stay at bay for a while.

My foot injury had flared up so I’m taking a short break. My first 10k fun run in a month or so, so hopefully I’ll get back out there soon.

Went for a sneaky run in work hours yesterday, which means I don’t feel that guilty about not going this morning - so currently enjoying a coffee. Full month off due to being clumsy… Feels good to be back out there.

Well f*** you too

Ha ha… Actually yes! He was out the front pulling me along for most of it…

First run back today after a self inflicted clumsy injury whilst working from home. It’s been about a month since my last run.

Wasn’t too bad, quite a bit slower than where I was at, but have decided I’m going to focus on consistency rather than stretching for a pb every run from now on.

Injured foot is a little tender, but I think I stayed on the right side of effort to keep it under control. I’ll see how it goes over the next few days.

My Patagonia running shorts have built in firm boxers. So good.

I started the Expanse series recently. Currently midway through book 5 - Nemesis Games, and getting the just-one-more-chapter thing at 2am most nights. Great books.

I really enjoyed that book.

Got excited there for a moment…but 2025 !?.. C’mon man

I don’t have a firestick, but they might just be meaning a different launcher. I use this one on a Shield. Works great. https://www.firesticktricks.com/wolf-launcher.html

I’ve picked up Battlefield 5 again because of the recent hype. There’s the most players there’s been for a fair while. It’s a lot of fun. I am quite bad at it though.

In my case it has been perseverance and dedication. I’m 120kg and 6ft4. I feel ok, but I am at least 15 kg over weight. I have two kids, and I realised I was getting less able to do things they wanted to do with me. The timeframe where they will actually want to do things with me is getting shorter too, so I’ve been running to improve my health and general fitness. It’s painful, difficult, and I end up pretty sore, but I’m getting a little bit better each time, and I’m sticking with it this time. So I guess to answer your question, you get started by deciding it’s time and the various reasons you have are important enough to keep trying. I let my health go during the pandemic and I really needed to do something about it for my family. If you’re able, I would start with brisk walks, that gradually turn into periods of jogging on the walks, which gradually get longer… Good luck

Almost my exact reaction… the Grid was so epic

I watched Tron : Legacy on release at the local IMAX in 3D. It was epic. Not seen anything else in 3D though.

Madonna. the Girlie Show tour in Melbourne, something like 1993 I think. I (a 12 yr old boy) went with my sister and her friends (3-4 years older)… Man I felt awkward throughout - having a crush on one of my sister’s friends did not help.

Both great bands to see live. What venue was this? I remember seeing the gurge at BDO and maybe Festival Hall I think, maybe the Corner or the Palace…
