Well. I left my exercise watch at school so I couldn’t accurately time my runs tonight. 2×1.5km sandwich runs. Total time. 34m exactly 3km. Fastest pace 10:45. Slowest pace 12:48. Outward was faster. Return was slower as I was tired (more uphill), so I walked a lot at the end. On the return journey, I…
Tamsui, New Taipei City Hi, Mom! Yes! It’s me again! I tried to call you on Saturday afternoon, but no one was able to pick up the phone, so I thought I’d pick up a keyboard instead! I will send the letter in exactly the same way as last time, though this time I might…
You’ve probably been shocked by the mark up on imported ingredients here, but once you consider the actual costs to importing, you quickly realize that the importers aren’t making a lot of $$$. Scotch Eggs in Tesco (UK) Cheap like NT$55 Scotch Eggs in M$S (UK) Not so cheap at NT$100 Scotch Eggs in Local…
I completely surprised myself last night. The leg muscles are a little stiff this morning. But I managed to run 90s run/60s walk for most of the distance, except for extended warm up and cool off at the end. I made it from almost a 5K. About 54 minutes in total. So def. slow af….
So last night, I did the 2nd night of 1m walk/run. 2KM is easier now. I will try to do 3KM like that as well. Plus when I collect the Youbike to ride home… it’s free (Taipei City). LOL! I’ll do another two 4Ks in 2024. Want to see if I can either walk/run (likely)…
Level 1: 2K Level 2: 4K 2K or 4K OOO Run: 000 coffee shop to HSL (end of bike lane). Actually, doing this in the morning means the coffee shop would be open at 10am. Nice reward: set off at 9am! LOL! Can I? Right now, I’ll be doing that run at night. Once I…
I slipped up on my schedule of posting regular updates. But rest assured, fellow readers… I didn’t quit my exercise schedule. In fact, I’ve doubled down on what I’ve been doing. Longer rides, more frequent running sessions, and cutting back on carbs for dinner. The result has been a slow turn around of the ship:…
Last night’s exercise program got rained off early! I managed to do some but I had just got a bike and ridden it for 3minutes when the heavens opened. No, it wasn’t the 2nd coming coming (or even the first) but the rain was surprisingly heavy. I returned the bike pronto. There is nothing like…
Typical of my anxiety dreams. I conflated a lot of different things in my dream: We were appreciating the first leaves of fall, getting in a car at a parking lot. I realized that I didn’t know where my bag was, then the car started reversing but the driver was outside and I was sitting…
