I managed a relatively successful month of running despite my hamstring injury still hanging around. I think after the next race this weekend I need to try another break or only running slowly since it's been over three months now.
Three new parkruns at Berwick Waters, Grand Ridge and Warringal Parklands. The Grand Ridge Rail Trail was the best course and also the hardest, a close second was Berwick Waters only because it was an incredibly humid day. To finish off the month I also reached my 200th event. I still have one spot left on my parkrun bingo challenge, another two times I finished on 59 seconds instead of 58 thanks to some idiot getting in the way at the finish line as I was slowing down to cross the line.

One race for the month at Warburton for the 10km. It's quite a challenging course with a few hills, one large one in particular, but I finished with a better time than last year and didn't feel as bad as usual at the finish. The official time was under 38 minutes but the course seems to measure quite a long way under 10 kilometres every year.

I've managed to work up to 20 kilometres on weekend long runs, but don't want to commit to any longer events up to half marathon distance until I can get my leg fixed and back into proper training.
No biking.
The less said about shares the better. I sold a couple of under-performing investments a few weeks ago but still have a lot of junk to dispose of. The latest reporting period didn't produce many winners, every company seems to have missed targets and blamed bushfires and the virus, in addition to the entire market dropping more than 10% in a week.
The superbowl was held in early February, I think it's the only game I watched in full for the season. I would have preferred San Francisco to win although didn't really like either team. Next we have NBL finals coming up, hopefully Sydney Kings can make it.
The to do list is pretty weak this month:
- 2020 goals
- I wrote the rough outline, just haven't posted them
- Blog photos
- About 80% migrated, then no more broken images
- Car problems
- An unexpected task, should be resolving it soon one way or another
At work I'm still doing a lot of less technical design work, which isn't as bad as I would have guessed, it's just incredibly frustrating due to poor planning, lack of information and lack of co-operation.
That's it for this month, hopefully the next one is a bit better.
