A nice evening walk. My legs seemed to be a bit sore from yesterday’s run in the gym. Then again, I didn’t warm up, or stretch before the run.

No gym trip today since I know the showers aren’t working for gym users.

Forced to use the gym today as my hot water has stopped working as the heater is leaking.

We got a plumber in to investigate and there’s a pin hole leak on the heating element. But the heater is a balanced flue which according to him is no longer made and the whole thing would need to be replaced — not what we needed a few days before Christmas Day.

The plumber turned off the gas and water to the heater, cutting off the hot water (at least it means the heater is not leaking) — the pinhole leak was still going for a bit though

Booking a slot in the gym due to covid costs me nearly £10, versus £8 before the pandemic, but I can understand due to the additional cleaning and disinfecting work needed by the gym staff.

Decided to run instead of walk, but not sprint, just jog. Will work my way back up to faster running slowly.

Turned out they hadn’t opened the changing rooms and showers for gym users yet, so I ended up having a cold shower at home afterwards.

Had an early start today so my walk was a bit slower, but still did it.

Has now gone totally dark during my normal walk time making it harder to see where I’m stepping — risking stepping in poop or mud.

I got a replacement strap for my FitBit Ionic as the existing one is starting to peel away from the plastic. It arrived yesterday so I replaced it today.

Did my walk on Monday and it was relatively warmer.

Yesterday I had to go into the office because the local council wanted to remove more asbestos from the walls in the communal area of my flat.

Went for my walk and it was raining, still made my 30 minute walk, though.
