Had planned on running on the treadmill at lunch as 40 degrees was forecast, but that didn't eventuate - the heat that is, I still ran on the treadmill anyway as I'm stubborn.

Reasonably normal weather today so ventured back outdoors for a run - did some efforts around LBM (6x3mins) and felt ordinary. Appreciated being out with nature though. Sweated buckets still.

Air back to hazardous, me back to treadmill :( Boring 50min steady, which felt hard - probably because I lose half my bodyweight in sweat in a gym.

Smoke not too bad this morning so opted for an outdoor run around Farrer. Nice to get out in relatively fresh air. Legs pretty tight - felt like I worked quite hard on the treadmill.

It's gotten that desperate here that I've been forced to join a gym and go running on a treadmill. A dark day indeed. Did 3mins @ 12kph, 30mins @ 14kph, 7mins @ 12kph. All at a 2.5% incline. It was about as much fun as watching the flight path for the last two hours of a long haul flight. Sweated a lot. Ironically, the weather outside wasn't actually that bad today - but it is going to come back.

Wanted to run. Wanted to pick up my new road bike. Wanted to take kids to the pool. But the thick smoke scuppered all of that. Quite a boring day in the end.

Would have been nice to run, but it was the hottest day ever in Canberra.
