    Skipped my run yesterday as I was a bit tired - last 2 days haven't done any exercise really except about 7km walking the last couple of days and a shitload of pressure cleaning the concrete at The Deceased Estate. Italians love them the concrete. Jeez. Must be over 100sqm of the fucking stuff. Anyway, it clean now. The contrast is amazing...

      Back on the road this morning. Didn't do HR as I was fighting off the need to take a dump - Thai food and cocktails last night led to a late one ๐Ÿ˜Ž

        Body weight last night. Finished all three sets tho the 3rd chinup and last two pushups were a struggle in set 3.

        Think I need to spend a couple of nights a week just doing upper body. Chinups especially don't get better unless I work hard on them. Would like to get back to 5.

        Run this morning, aiming for sub-32 minutes

        Went out pretty hard for the first 2km then cruised back, tho it didn't feel cruisy with 500 to go.

        No lingering vision issues so that's good.

              Waterblasting is such fun. Not many chores like that where you can see instant results that are so dramatic. (well maybe chainsawing down the neighbours tree)

                    Skipped Wednesday's run as I was probably just too lazy. Drinking a couple of litres of beer last night probably fucked up my run this morning - clocked 2km at 6:05/km then started to get vision issues and calf pain.

                    So I turned around and walked home using the shortcut. Not a great outcome but it has just been one of those weeks.

                      I'm astonished and quite proud of my discipline during lockdown though, I won't crack one open before 5pm......I try to stick more to Red Wine though, less bloaty than the Craft beer I unfortunately love.

                        Yeah I was farting like a demon this morning - the beer was mostly flat tho as I'd bought 5 litres at the local last week ($25) and not stored it in a decent container

                        But The Bourne Identity was on last night, and I was trying to dispose of flat beer, so I just kept going on the couch until I was sleepy

                                  Got up this morning and didn't feel like running but did it anyway. First run in a week hurt the goal time of 30 minutes, but that's a lack of willpower for ya

                                  Not too bad, considering...

                                    Besides doing some walking with the boy - who desperately needs it - I've not done much do got out for a run in the fog this morning.

                                    Really went after that last km to keep it under 32 minutes. HR was 122 (+1min post) and 104 (+6min post)

                                          Yeah it sucks. Can't work out if it was the exercise or something else.

                                          I think, rather than backing off at this point, I need to start keeping notes on what I eat, how I slept, and the exercise I'm doing in order to try and boil it down to key factors.

                                          When I was fit back in my 30s, the migraines went away. I thought they were linked to the heart surgery, but that hope has been quashed.
