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?
-
@voodoo ticwatch pro 4g. Wanted to be able to leave the phone behind completely yet still ring Bonesetta when I inevitably break myself 5km from home.
Seems neat so far. Wanted wear OS so I could download music from play and seemed like a good option for Strava or linked apps. Haven't tried Strava yet as not sure if the notifications work, might test it today.

@voodoo throw in a pair of these and it's not that bad, don't even need to break a stride (like last Saturday when I got lost and was being picked up so had to answer the phone while continuing on at "pace" to get to a pickup spot).

Dipped under 93kg today though!
great month mate, well done.

@mariner4life Chur! Think ballpark hundred is a decent idea for me although only got that close by mistake. So thanks for the idea!

I don't have kids or my own business. Or ridiculous heat. Plus I needed to sort my shit out.

You had ridiculous heat for London. Sunniest month in the history of the UK apparently.

@MajorRage yeah but a year ago I was in Sunshine Coast and it was pretty similar. In Winter.
But yeah nah, it's been wicked eh! Since lockdown and doing a workout (outside) everyday, we haven't had to shelve it once and only had to postpone it to the arvo one day. Nuts.
