Been pretty frustrated with fitness and running, just seem to be slow and getting slower - can barely run 5km at full speed right now. I've been dealing with a minor issue with a sore right knee - the good knee, but it seems to be resolving itself. Have gone to the new Gardiners Creek parkrun a few times in a row, somehow I set my best time the first week and then slightly slower every week afterwards.
Also been in search of new weekend running courses, a couple of new tracks starting near Westerfolds Park to the Diamond Creek trail and Plenty River trail. And finally, got some new running gear:
- Headphones - got some Sony running headphones with 4gb storage, haven't tried it yet
- Heart rate monitor - didn't work well on wrist but is more accurate near elbow
No activity for biking.
It was looking like another bad month for shares when I lost about $30,000 in two consecutive days, but thanks to a few good results for company reports I had a decent recovery. I got rid of a few under-performers but so far the replacements haven't been any better.
I tried to watch a bit of the Winter Olympics but found it difficult like usual to just get the good events and the finals from the scattered TV coverage.
Not much happening from the to do list, but should be better next month:
- Blog - still have to complete the 2017 and 2018 yearly
- MICF tickets - got tickets for three events at the comedy festival in April
- Speed bump - keep complaining about the new speed bump installed right outside, no result yet
Not sure what's going on with work at the moment, seems like we are running out of work already. Need to decide to study for an AWS or Mule exam first.
