Training in Quarantine – Day 92
No walk today — been raining on-off, so did my first FitBit workout in a while.
Training in Quarantine – Day 91
Significantly cooler and wetter today. Got caught in the rain while shopping, and in my T-shirt to boot.
Did my walk, but the clouds were not promising sunshine.
Training in Quarantine – Day 90
Reached 90 days of quarantined training. Another scorcher of a day. A bit of rain in the early hours of this morning.
FitBit shows 27degC, but a breeze made it tolerable.
Training in Quarantine – Day 89
Another scorcher of a day. 30+ degC showing in the car, 29 degC showing on my FitBit as of 4pm.
Went up to Sainbury’s and there was no queue so went in to get some groceries. It was freezing in there. They’d cranked up the aircon high to compensate for the heat outside.
Training in Quarantine – Day 88
My FitBit is registering 29degC temperature so far, but it feels so, so much hotter than that. Had to use my Asics cap to keep the sun out of my eyes as I walked and my fan has been on almost the entire day.
Car Update
TfL finally replied and my application for exemption of the CC is refused. Even though my car meets the CO2 emissions requirement, it doesn’t meet the 20-mile EV requirement (must be table to travel 20 miles with zero emissions.)

They refunded the £10 I paid for registration.
However, I may still be able to get an exemption. Since my dad also uses my car and he’s registered disabled, he may be able to register my car as a blue-badge holder, which gives 100% exemption.

Training in Quarantine – Day 87
A scorcher of a day. My car is showing a temperature of 32 degC.
Had to dig out my desk fan again, only a few days after putting it away.
Noticed more shops are now open. The local pharmacy is open for customers, but a one-way system is enforced. My local Costa is open for takeaway only.
Several shops have signs saying they are opening soon.
Car Update
Went to get my spare key from Toyota. Took them 2 hours to get my car into the workshop and get the key reprogrammed. They left a sign in my car when they were done. They had also washed and cleaned the car in the process.
A mobile coffee truck came along while I was waiting outside for the car to be done. I got a coffee while I waited

Training in Quarantine – Day 86
Forgot to log this yesterday. Spent most of the day in the car with my parents, letting my dad drive and get used to the new car.
I drove back after they stopped off for shopping.
The weather was sunny and hot and in the 20s degC so after I got back, I did go and do my daily walk.
