@mn5 was already 26C for that walk at 9AM.
Later in the year it'll be 30+ at 8AM.
26 is nothing you weak lil NSW bitch.

Got to 37 here today. It's a bit of a shock to the system.

Fuck absolutely ALL of that. I love my seasons. Summer has it’s place but I love a nice fire while looking at a cold storm outside.
It’s still Spring !!!!
It’s a different 37 than it would be in NZ or am I imagining that ? I remember the garden thermometer in the wairarapa ( @NTA is a big fan of that place ) would get up and around there in Jan/Feb and literally all you could do was look for some shade and a cold beer.

@mn5 in Brisbane it would be sticky as well.
I remember watching the weather when I lived in Sydney and there was a difference of 10 or more degrees at times between the coast and more inland places.
Still, could say the same about Upper Hutt and the rest of Wellington I guess, it roasts out that way in Summer.

This week with DST starting, I've set the alarm for 0600 to get out and rack up some km.
Is it dark at 6am there mate? Is still for us so DST has meant a later start for any outdoor activity. And a much later start for any night time trail rides too
-
Figure if I average 8.2km for 6 days a week in these 6am timeslots, I can get to 200km in October.
For the first Saturday with eased restrictions I'll be doing a whole day (20km+) as the guest part of The Great North Walk which will hopefully be before the end of the month.

Weigh in Thursday morning - last week versus this week:
Week 0: Weight 107.80kg, Chest 117cm, Waist 115cm, Hips 116cm
Week 1: Weight 107.05kg, Chest 117cm, Waist 115cm, Hips 115cm
Week 2: Weight 106.60kg, Chest 117cm, Waist 115cm, Hips 115cm
Week 3: Weight 106.70kg
, Chest 117cm, Waist 114cm, Hips 115cmWeek 4: Weight 105.70kg
, Chest 117cm, Waist 114cm, Hips 115cmKind of cheating as I weighed in immediately after the 9km I posted above, BUT on the other hand I did drink 400mL of water before going for the run, so that probably makes it even.
As suspected: last week's weigh in was a bit of bloat and perhaps over-indulging for dinner the night before. The main thing is I'm holding about half a kilo loss per week (2.10kg down since Week 0). If I maintain that through to end of November as planned, I'll be around 102kg which will be decent going. If I can accelerate that without causing any harm I'll do it - calorific deficit isn't a huge problem when your body fat is north of 25%.

I'm really enjoying the daily morning walk, where I'm tending to jog about half of it - hence the ~8:00/km rate. This morning was 7:51'km because at km 2 a couple of lovely young ladies overtook me on their morning run while I was in a walking section, so I upped the pace just enough
I only use the HR function on the Garmin and try to keep BPM around 150. Walk until it drops to 130-140, then jog again. Seems to be the best way to burn calories without giving myself a migraine.
Get home, do a quick stretch, and hit some hydration followed by coffee and eggs. Think I'm sleeping better as a result, and feeling much sharper at work as well, despite just coming back from a week off where I'd usually have the shits.
I was even up until 10PM last night working on a particular issue, but I usually do that when I am looking for an interesting solution to a fairly stupid problem

And yeah I'm a fucking data nerd, but tracking how far you've gone in a certain pair of shoes or on a certain bike etc is rad:
I have had this in Strava for a while, but the other shoes I had (Trail Glove 4 & 5 respectively) were also used casually as well. Both recorded about 400km.
The Trail Glove 6 is a weird fit - very tight to get on even taking into account they're new. But I wouldn't wear them out anywhere - keeping them purely for walking, running, and probably hiking where I don't really need the boots.
Hoping to get them to 500km. The hiking boots shit me because most of the time I'm wearing zero-drop shoes. The boots have an elevated heel by comparison and it stuffs up my knees and hips.
-
Walk yesterday afternoon as I slept in too late to go in the morning - I've been reacquainting myself with the Dune trilogy in preparation for Villeneuve fucking it up, so get to sleep after 2300. Bad NTA. BAD.
This morning was weigh in so thought i'd better go sweat off a bit of fluid before that:

Another 250g and another cm somewhere. Good thing I went for that walk.
Admittedly this week's result could have been a lot better, because my eating regime was kind of shit. Onward and upward.
Next week looking to be sub-105kg.
