Training in Quarantine - Day 112

#

23degC today, and a nice hot day. Did my long walk and now hot and sweaty -- but feeling good.

Training in Quarantine - Day 111

#

Another nice warm day. Not too hot, and a comfortable walk.

Training in Quarantine - Day 110

#

Another nice warm day. Cooler than yesterday, but still quite warm.

Training in Quarantine - Day 109

#

Mid 20s today and a scorcher of a day for a walk.

Training in Quarantine - Day 108

#

A much brighter, sunnier day today. Great for a walk. Low 20s degC.

Training in Quarantine - Day 107

#

A cloudy day with ominous clouds in the sky. Going to take my chances and head out for a walk....

Training in Quarantine - Day 106

#

A cloudy day, but still warm enough to do a walk, without any unwanted attention from flies.

Training in Quarantine - Day 105

#

A warm day, not too hot, and not swarmed by flying ants today. A nice, relaxing walk.

Training in Quarantine - Day 104

#

Another nice hot day. Went out to walk, and found all the flying ants had come out and were swarming literally everywhere. I ended up with them landing in my hair and on my neck. Good thing I wasn't running, there'd be a big chance I ended up with some of them in my mouth.

Training in Quarantine - Day 103

#

Flipped around today, no workout and just walking today.

Went a different route to see how long it would be and it turns out not too much longer than my shorter route, but with more hill work.

Training in Quarantine - Day 101

#

Day 101 of quarantine training. Cloudy day, 19 degC. FitBit workout done, was legs day and, boy my legs are burning.

Will probably head out for a walk to cool them down in a bit.

Training in Quarantine - Day 100

#

Hit day 100 in quarantine and my FitBit Premium trial is coming up for renewal soon. Still uncertain whether I should renew or not....

Did another FitBit coach workout and walk in again, ~20 degC temperature.

Training in Quarantine - Day 99

#

Another 20-ish degC day today, a bit breezy but decided to do the long 1 hr walk.

Training in Quarantine - Day 98

#

A cool-ish day today, temp at 20degC so did my walk. The pubs were open again, so saw most of them in use. Even the local Wetherspoons was now open.

Barbers were open too. And pretty much all of them were packed except for the smallest one which only had a few customers. The nearest barber to me was only accepting appointments anyway.

Training in Quarantine - Day 97

#

Went for a mini-run today. Did my short walk, but decided to walk-run it today and went past the balloons house. Found out the name of the person was "Victoria"

Training in Quarantine - Day 96

#

Mixed weather day, some rain, but now its 20degC. Done my FitBit workout, will be heading out for walk soon.

Got caught in the rain, and had to sprint back -- still that's good exercise.

Someone asked me where the station was -- which was a 30 minute walk unless you get the bus to cut part of the journey time. They chose not to get the bus and continued walking -- in the rain too. And without an umbrella...

Found this in a nearby road:

A bit of digging round, and I found the reason:

[www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8480953/Girl-13-killed-struck-car-north-Londonng.html)

A 41-year-old woman has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a 13-year-old girl was knocked down and killed in north London

Police said the car struck the victim and a 15-year-old girl in Barnet, north London at 9.35pm on Monday. 

Scotland Yard confirmed the 15-year-old was uninjured but suffered shock witnessing the collision. 

Looking at the location of the flowers, it is near the end of the road, which leads to a miniroundabout. The road, especially at night, is pretty empty and prone to fast drivers (regularly, we hear cars and motorbikes revving late at night), so my suspicion is that someone drove fast down the road, heading towards the miniroundabout, couldn't stop in time and hit the 13-year-old square, and missed the the 15-year old.

Training in Quarantine - Day 95

#

Muscles are still hurting from yesterday, so I'll skip my FitBit workout and just walk. There was rain earlier, but it's okay for now....

The temperature was also a lot warmer than the past two or so (very wet) days.

Training in Quarantine - Day 94

#

Another cloudy, slightly rainy day. FitBit workout for core and legs and my stomach muscles are screaming at me right now.

Going to take my chances and go for a walk in about 15 mins and see if I get soaked with rain or not.

Training in Quarantine - Day 93

#

Cooler today, so did my FitBit workout then went for my walk to cool down.

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.

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.
