Welu:
Gonna do the first workout tomorrow since I have a proper day off, at least until 4pm so loads of time to walk and get work done. Hoping even though my schedule is packed that once I start, I'll find the time.
Barmymoo:
My new headphones arrived! I was a bit dubious because they didn't look like they'd stay in my ears at all, and the bits that hook over my ears looked a weird shape, but I just tried jumping up and down and waving my head around with them in, and they didn't move at all. Splendid. Now just have to buy new trainers and I'm basically sorted.
Glad I decided to run at 7am, because over the next week it's going to gradually get hotter every day. At the moment I'm uncomfortably warm inside with just a t-shirt and jeans on. No way I could run outside at the moment (I'm a wuss about heat, it's only about 20 celcius).
Lines:
Heat is the worst. Early mornings are good for workouts, because it's cool and I get eaten by mosquitos if I'm outside in the evening.
Redball:
It was 49F when I got up, 58 when I got out, and just beginning to feel warm when I returned. I'd better get used to it and get out closer to getting up, because lows will be in the high 60s some nights coming up, with highs in the mid-90s.
Skewbrow:
I was out of town for a couple days so I could only continue today. 4+K orienteering. I spent 1hr 4minutes (the winner needed 36 minutes, and the last place time was 1hr 42 mins) and placed 72nd out of 93. Several bad news though:
* I still can't get to DrPhibes' chart - I am always redirected to https://accounts.google.com (does it require cookies?)
* Sports Tracker crashed after 1.7K (it does that occasionally, when it loses the GPS signal. They need to work on it! I've been told that the Anrdoid version is more stable)
* This is the worst birch pollen season in 30 years - guess who's allergic to that (medication does help, but doesn't completely get rid of the problem)
* At about half way in today's race I felt the sharp pain. Looks like the plantar fasciitis from last winter has returned. I limped to the finish line, but it was not fun. A lot of painkillers in the near future. But our main event would be in 3+ weeks :-( :-(
