@MN5 thanks but nah. It's early days and I feel good. Fat, unfit and happy!
Oh and cider is where it's at.
Just chuck your NZ passport in a Dropbox. You won’t be needing it.
Yeah nah cool that makes complete sense...

Sorry about that. Ferning after a few Rums is inadvisable.
It made sense to me at the time I think.

Saturday was rest day and needed. 3km couples run on Sunday with half UB workout as running late for ma's day call, but followed up with a 7km walk.
Knocking on the door of 2 sets of legs, so that's the aim this week. Couples run this morning and Bonesetta is making good improvements too, getting down to 5:40 Kms. I'll go for another late arvo, UB today before lunch and getting through 2 sets easy now so will start timing it.
Sitting below 95kg the last few days.

Run two - felt fantastic at 3 so thought I should kick on and push for 5.
Felt fucken horrible at 3.1.
Anyway knocked out the 5 at a 5:11 average, but bit miffed as I swear Strava told me the last km was 4:50, but then showed me as 5:25 (maybe I misheard 5:15 and stuffed up the pause/stop/finish). Ahh well, next time.

2 runs again today 3km couples this morning, had to run to pick up the car this afternoon so a new (5km) route and an absolute fluffybunny hill on the 4th km but made up for it on the 5th by doing 4:32 (ok ok slightly downhill all the way pretty much).
5:22 avg and felt a million bucks at the end. 2 sets of UB this morning done in 9:10 with a minute rest between included in that. Threw in most of a 3rd set after that too.
Feeling good.

5k Saturday, 3k Sunday, 7.5k yesterday. Yesterday was an absolute piston wristed gibbon, couple of bitch hills thrown in, I'm talking Mt Vic type steep.
Cranking the workouts. Sitting under 94kg the last few days, despite booze.
Strava has me at 51.5km @mariner4life

@Bones you're killing it mate. I haven't been since last Thursday.
It's been raining here, and i am not training for anything, so i ain't heading out in the rain. Plus i was drunk all weekend...
-
@mariner4life you can run drunk twice as far as I can sober. Get out in the rain, you're not @mogwai

I'm so sweet I'm practically made of sugar
look, you're right, but it's wet, and like, 20 degrees (bloody freezing) so i would rather drink wine...

@mariner4life great, now I want wine for breakfast.

Weight back up a bit this week, but back under 95 today.
Dialled back a bit on the running after being knackered for run 2 on Tuesday - aiming for 5km but body was saying nah at 3 so ended up just shy of 4 (had already done 3km couple run earlier). Rested Wednesday and did just shy of 4 again yesterday. 5km lined up for tomorrow morning to the farm shop.
Workouts going good, up to 3 sets on UB now and could probably crack it on the legs if I wasn't a pussy.
Gym opening still at least over 6 weeks away sucks. Will start mixing up the workouts a bit now so as not to get stale.

Ok so that 5km accidentally turned into 7. Felt disgusting from about 1.5 - 4 but then started to pick back up. Accidentally took a wrong turn around 3 and ended up a couple of miles off course, so missed my km notifications and all of a sudden was at 6km. Was pretty happy with averaging 5:30 for that distance on those hills.
5km on Sunday as Bonesetta cracked her first 5km in about 5 years. 4.5km this morning.
Had a 4 day weekend, which equalled a lot of booze and fatty food, but still managed to keep under 95kg.

Racked up another 3 and a bit after the morning run the other day, then did the same yesterday to test out the new watch. So close to 8km both days. Definitely getting quicker and hills aren't as gruelling.
Think the best bit is no stopping and I haven't used an inhaler while running in at least over a month - don't even bother taking it with me if it's less than 5km. A nice freedom.
-
Oh and am up to about 85km this month now so might as well crack the hundy. Chur @mariner4life for the inspiration.

What watch did you get?
