Happy equinox, you filthy hippies. 🌞
Memo to self: hopping up and down in my seat to thrilling lightsaber fights doesn't count as cardio or contribute to my steps count. Sigh. Should've done this evening on the turbo!
Run done! And the limiting factor wasn't my feet or calves but tiny kitten lungs, so that's barefoot shoe adaptation unlocked, back to the "puffing like a locomotive" grind.
That old Werewolf: The Apocalypse player feeling when your new meds have a loup-canid kind of name. Side effects may include howling at the moon, getting huge, and messing up evils petrochemical corps.
The worst part about restarting squats & deadlifts isn't the expected soreness but the way abs and traps are filing an amicus brief.
Squats & deadlifts done, 5x5, rebooting with simple linear program to start with. Feels good, man.
Argh why is phoning a new gym for a vibe check so full of drama?
Weird smell o'clock: these ripe bananas taste banana-ey but smell like fresh laundry. What the actual #longcovid heck?
Happy solstice, you filthy hippies. 🌞😎

Bah, Pilates 2 (Curse of the Yellow Belly) didn't happen. After packing better kit (thick mat, toe shoes) I then went and got the "in a room with HUMANS and they're all BREATHING" anxiety.
So, videos it is, then.
Made-up word of the day: Tanstaaflberg: when a route starts with a wonderful panoramic view and whooshy descent that you know you have to slog up at the end of the day.
Watching the #LondonMarathon and remembering that time I ran the #ExeterHalf at my absolute peak runniest -- and was narrowly beaten by someone dressed as a tap! (US: faucet) #BackOfThePack
I have been blessed by an easter orb, of the "great big round bumblebee impossible to photograph" variety. Much bass, very bumbly.
Did it! Train up, ride home. That was hard work, but the biggest ride in a year so to be expected.
Considering a Barum Hamish tomorrow. Galled that 33 miles needs planning but eh, it is what it is. Train up to Barnstaple, ride hame-ish.
Should still have plenty in the tank for Parkrun the day after. Garmin has a predicted time, not saying til after though. Just Get Round.
Okay maybe an Easter parkrun.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.
The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.
Better choices instead of excuses.
