A busy time for running this month. Sadly it slows down for December and January.
- Bendigo Bank Fun Run
- I thought the hill at the start was bigger than it was, started too slow!
- Dealing with blisters on the outside of both feet again
- 40:06 and 10th overall, a bit disappointing to not even break 40 minutes
- Way out - So close to hitting a kangaroo that ran across the road
- Way back - Saw a motorcyclist being treated by paramedics in the middle of the road
- City2Sea
- Had consistent pace, but struggled by 9 kilometres and really bad at 13 kilometres
- 59:58 for 15km
- Only a few seconds better than last year
- Expected better since my Melbourne Marathon was far ahead of last year
- Karkarook park run
- 18:34 just missed my best park run time of the year by 3 seconds
- Warburton Rail Tail
- Added a new course for running, many routes possible
- Started in Seville on a very hot day
- New Zealand
- This will be covered in the report
- Two park runs (one in December) and a half marathon
A busy time for my shares too, since I got a bit bored and did some selling and buying. I seem to have drifted from large companies with dividends to riskier small caps, but possibly gone too far in that direction. Freedom Insurance Group losing 33% in one day wasn't much fun. Had some crazy price swings, a couple of times losing up to $8000 in a day.
I've had to retire for NBA betting temporarily since my $50 account became $100 and then $0 due to a run of bad luck. I had a big six game combo fail in the last match only due to a bad last quarter. It's not really worth the time required to look through all the betting options at the moment anyway. Went to another Melbourne vs. Sydney NBL game which the Kings lost again...
- December holiday still not planned...
- Investment loan submitted but still not finalised for some reason
- NZ holiday planning took up most of my spare time
Nothing much happening at work right now. I've been back at the office for about three weeks, I got assigned to a short term project but wasn't good timing with my holiday coming half way through it. Still not sure what is coming next. I have to start AWS exam study soon, I bought a cheap course on Udemy to try out.
Between a four day weekend for the Melbourne Cup, the New Zealand holiday and possibly two weeks of enforced leave over Christmas I don't think I'll have a lot of annual leave left once more.
That's it for this month:
- Books
- None
- Movies
- Jigsaw
- It was going well until they tried to put everything together in the ending
- 6 out of 10
- Music
- None
- TV
- Mindhunter
- Interesting fictional show based on the actual history of criminal profiling
- Thought it was going to finish, but just leads to a second season
- 6 out of 10
- The Challenge Season 30
- A bit too random since anyone could be sent into the loser bracket
- The final challenge was just based on endurance running
- 7 out of 10
- Video Games
- None
