Mac's Running Diary - edit jan '21 cycling too - edit jan 23 back @ circuit training,
not a great week... got out for a 16k lap on thursday. ended up late getting out yesterday morning, and had to drop sr to school before hoofing it to a worksite. so it was a short lap 12k. but to toughen it up a bit o threw a short hill climb section section into it. it was nice, so i may extend the hill climb route to the longer alternative lap as a new route. start climb training... and ive just reslised thst the much sterper climb is actually less total climb than going the whole way up the bypass on my 16k route ... **** today was a 630am leaving the house start to get to site and watch the boats in the estuary.

so swmbo went back to classroom yesterday, and i took the day off as a "transition day" to the new routine. so i went a short loop - 16k - to be back for prepping spud sr for school too. same today, though i slept a bit ****e last night, woke up for no reason around 4, for a good half hr. definitely felt the reduced sleep in my legs. yesterday today, i also got stuck behind a bin lorry that couldnt overtake a street sweeper coming through town, which then cost me a clean slot tgrough a roundabout and then stuck at traffic lights. i think its just bèing one of those annoying days!!- 378 replies

main issue with it... most people in the "target Customer group" cant connect their smartphones to the straight forward, as standard, bluetooth in oh so many soft roaders and mpvs as it is*. so the odds of them managing to do it in complicated infotainment systems and actually use the wonderful features is... well, not great. *purely anecdotal, based on my many yrs experience of watching the target customers on the school runs with phones in hand.... who tf are all talking to all the time anyway???- So I went and bought a Jaaaag
sounds weird but the number plate across the grill breaks it up enough that it doesnt look as offensively massive. and if you cover the section below the plate with a finger, the lines on the top half are quite nice. first time a number plate has improved the look of a car!- Mac's Running Diary - edit jan '21 cycling too - edit jan 23 back @ circuit training,
