July Review

This is the July review.

Had a good period of running come to an end at the worst possible time a week before Gold Coast marathon, so missed out on the race. I saw a podiatrist a couple of times and was able to rule out a major problem like a stress fracture, but it has still been intermittently sore for the whole month. I managed to walk the Surfers Paradise parkrun, but obviously missed out on a top ten.

I got back into running after a couple of weeks but probably lost a bit of speed. I was good enough to enter the Run Melbourne 10km at least, my time wasn't great, but good enough given the circumstances and the challenging course - being in the priority group helped.

No biking.

Nothing much happening in shares, made one extra purchase but a little worried about the prices going up so much at the moment.

The Tour De France was quite average again this year, a whole hour of highlight from SBS was a bit much to get through each night too. I went to two AFL games for the month - Gold Coast vs. Richmond (Gold Coast) and Carlton vs. Adelaide (MCG).

A lot of half complete things in the to do list:

  • Car
    • Supposed to be a goal for 2019 but haven't decided yet
    • Ford Focus RS is good but only manual
    • Mitsubishi Lancer stopped production, and possibly a bit outdated
    • Subaru Impreza and WRX are a bit more expensive also
  • Gold Coast report finished
  • Half Year report not finished - too late now
  • Holiday
    • Should be safe to start planning now...
  • Resume updated again - also have to do Linked In

Just finishing up a project at work. It looks like I'll have a couple of weeks to fill, then on a project until the end of the year where I should be able to plan a holiday somewhere.

That's it for this month.
