Had a bit of a break from running with the holiday, except for the Star Wars 10km and Malaysia park run, but you don't really lose any fitness in a week so no problem. Besides that just a couple of park runs and volunteering, finally I was able to order my 50 and 100 park run t-shirts. My left knee has been going surprisingly well without wearing a support, but now my right knee started to hurt after a hard midweek session, so the other side now needs it. Maybe one day I'll be able to run with no compression or support extras.
No biking.
Shares are slowly moving upwards, but not back to where they were earlier in the year, at least my investment loan is actually making a small amount of money now! I put through a couple of sell and buy orders from my regular account, but accidentally used the investment loan to do the buying, which almost exceeded my loan limit. It was good to find out how selling works though, it seemed to just work like a normal account.
Sports have gone a bit quiet except for the start of the NBA finals. I really enjoyed the Golden State vs Houston conference finals because it was competitive but not always easy to watch because the Warriors struggled so much. Supporting Golden State was quite different to previous years, but I just really dislike the Rockets team. The finals I expect to be quite boring by comparison.
Nothing much on the to do list right now:
- Committee - still dealing with this never ending speed bump problem
- Holiday - finished the Singapore and Malaysia report
- Holiday - waiting on work, then I can decide on another holiday opportunity
- Running - not a lot of events around at the moment, have a couple of interstate options
Finished up at work a bit later than expect, going to be moving to a short term project next. Now I have to try and get two exams finished by August, which won't be easy. The AWS is going well, I just need to do some memorising of all the material now. I got 80% on my first practice exam without really trying.
