Delightful Canberra adventure to the newish Woden Town parkrun. Great course past some southside icons. New 5k PB for me, imagine what I could do without the photo stops / laziness. I guess we'll never know. I came in at 220th place 🎉 #parkrunau #loveparkrun

Was getting ready for work and thinking how old and feeble I looked, then proceeded to somehow roll my ankle on the bathmat.

A fun part of getting old is working out what will be the single weird single issue that radicalises you : mine will either be people using aspirations instead of role titles on LinkedIn or people who walk three-across on the footpath and don't make room for others.

My house doesn't share any common walls with neighbours but some days I am convinced that they will come to complain about how obnoxious my microwave noises are.

Forgot my headphones today, and now I'm just a very normal person using a decibel meter in an open plan office.
Super normal.

Today's Canberra quarter marathon (10k). Solid PB. Last year I was a couple of weeks out of treatment, unwell and almost DNF the 5k, so I was pretty obsessed with nailing this longer run today. Helps that I'm fitter and lighter now. Still a lot of room for less walking and better sunnies.

Quick dash to the Gong with the SUP gang to finally get out on Lake Illawarra. Spent a lot of time storm dodging but it all worked out 💙

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
