Decided to reinstall an old C25K app I used to use, and the first run was:
GPS tracking was bad because I hadn’t set it to allow background tracking. Will change that for the next run.
But now my leg is aching again. My lower back part of my right leg is hurting like it’s about to spasm (it has done that before)
Went running again, and still having trouble lasting any reasonable distance. I might just revert doing a C25K plan again.
My calves were absolutely aching after two days of running, lack of exercise, then suddenly being pushed hard I guess would do that to you.
No running today, just walking, and I made it back just before it started raining.
Went out running again, did only 2.6 km this time, averaged just about 6m59s/km – a far cry from the 6m0s/k I used to be able to do last time.
At least that is now my goal — to try to get to 5km, then try to get my speed to around the 6-minute mark.
My thighs are aching and my shoes do not feel like they’re cushioning my steps as much as they used to. I guess I’ll need to look at buying some new running shoes soon.
It’s been a long, long time, but I’ve finally decided to pick up running again.
And BOY, am I out of shape. Could barely get to 2km before having to drop to a walk.
But now at least I have a baseline to improve upon.
And I forgot how good running feels after a good workout.
1st January 2022. A new year, a new start.
What are your plans for the 2022 year? I’ve picked up Zombies Run again after a few years away due to its memory footprint inflating so much it wouldn’t run on my S5 without causing Android to force close other apps. It works fine on my OnePlus 9 Pro though.
Went out for dinner on this misty Boxing Day and ended up being caught out by some festive opening hours.
We ended up in a Korean grill I last went to in 2017. Went for a Bibimbap
Went out for my walk after Christmas lunch and found most places closed (as expected)
However, there were a few convenience shops still open, the Shell petrol station was still open (but the Tesco petrol station was closed). The local pubs were open, presumably for Christmas Dinner.
Speaking of which, here’s the final spread for my Christmas Lunch/Dinner
There was talk of it possibly being a White Christmas with it being cold enough that snow could fall.
But Christmas Day and no snow. :-(
Finally found a way to do the install on Wine on Fedora — and that’s using Lutris. Lutris lets you install Windows games onto Linux and allows you to script the setup of the game environment to fit the game itself.
So I used it to download the WeChat binary, setup the environment (which involved downloading fonts via winetricks) and adding a registry hack. That seems to work now. Have added it to my app-installs playbook on Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/blenderfox/pixelbook-fedora-setup)
It’s not fully automated, it does still require you to run through the setup manually, and then quit both the WeChat application (so Lutris sees that the setup has exited) and Lutris before the playbook proceeds.
