Woke up today to a more important moment of clarity (and not an epiphany). Over the past month I've spent about €300 making small yet important improvements to the house. And the clarity this morning is to now make small but improvements to myself - I have a list 😂 - and think I can pull it off 🤞🏻
My first rainy day after 10 days of 🌞. In Sarnico. Know the v are well. All I wanted was pasta for lunch. Hard to find actually. Went into a touristy place (tho Lake Iseo isn't touristy). 10 local Nonnas walk in for lunch (must be a rglr thing). Good was 👍🏻, but Nonna validation priceless 😂

Lost in Translation is always a great movie. And for personal reasons, the Evelyn Waugh scene is, and always has been, just perfection.

Did a 2.5/5 route on Zwift this morning, after *only* doing 1/5 routes so far. 21k, a (to me) real hill, but I finished it 😃. Legitimately feel it in my quads, but well worth it. Tomorrow will be an easier route tho 😂

13.1k full loop on Zwift this morning. And like yesterday avg over 31kph. So getting back in shape, and feels great. At some point I'll try a level 2 route, but def within my way towards that slowly 😂

@zwiftrides.bsky.social hi. Question if you don't mind: is there a way to see the profile of a route ahead of time?

So, calibrated the Kickr. My wK went up ~50%. The Kickr app said first calibration. It had been moved a fair bit during the painting of the house. Anyhoo, I think the wK makes more sense now. I'll still very average 👍🏻😀
I need to ride ~15k tomorrow to reach my weekly Zwift goal, and hopefully I will.

13k Zwifting today 👍🏻. Felt easy.* Did the full loop. Was a flat course, but still.
*Hopefully not famous last words. And I did take yesterday off. Finally averaged over 100 watts.**
** Lowered my weight in the app after the ride, bc pretty sure I weigh less and am underestimating power.

The Internet delivered. Find the contact info for the person who designs and also sells the Lithuanian Biathlon Team kit. A hoodie or a zip up will be a present to myself at some point 👍🏻

Day 2 back on Zwift. 26 minutes, 10k and a little. I'm going to try and finish the loop this week. Another 2.6k.
Still slow slow slow 😂, but feels great, and I'll get a little better, at least, if I keep at it 👍🏻
My head missed this tho 😀

My friend took his family to Cuba for new years. Sent pics, including this amazing "poster" that's actually a real work of art. I said it was brilliant. Friend brought it back for me. Quite the nice gift 😀. Will taking it in to get framed this week.
Really do think it is brilliant.

Just redid my professional social media profile and website. Well with the time. Decided to emphasize the thing I'm mostly well-known (that's relative of course) and regarded for (think that's less relative 😃)
Anyway, made me happy to finally do it.

Just realized, after watching The Usual Suspects on Prime, why Prime actually sucks: half the stuff they list is to buy or rent. Maybe there's an only free on Prime setting? At least Netflix if you see the listing, you've paid for it.
