In case you’re stuck in the traffic on the M42.

My lunch for today:

The shingles have spread into my left wrist and have started appearing on the palm of my hand, right on the callus-prone area, which causes a very pin-prick-like sensation when trying to pick up objects.

The medication is making me sleep a HELL of a lot more. Normally I sleep 8-10 hours. Last night, after getting the tiredness and fatigue caused by the medication, I slept 12 hours. Not often I do that…

I passed the Linux Essentials exam, so should get the certificate in the post in the next few days. Then at least I can add it to my LinkedIn profile. Next step, LPIC-1 :)

Here’s my confirmation of passing (blanked for obvious reasons). The only thing I have trouble with was Security and File Permissions. It would be nice to know WHICH questions I got wrong so I can target specifically my revision….

Went to my local hospital for a blood test and found these. Over-inflated prices: 80p for a bag of crisps, £1.00 for a can of soft drink, £1.50 for a bottle, £1.50 for a vending machine cup of coffee…

No matter what the time, or road. Don’t speed. This is what happens afterwards – someone has to clean up after you.

I'm Suzuko, BTW ^_^

Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their new arrival on this swelteringly hot day. This picture is from the dashboard display of my car. It is showing 36degC. (96.8degF for those of you using that unit.)

Note to self: Don’t drink lots of water before running, even if it is a hot day. I did half a lap then had to make an emergency sprint home with a full bladder! >_<

Endomondo timings for today’s run:

• 1 km: 4:14 min (PB +3 secs)
• 1 mile: 7:14 min (PB + 7 secs)

2 new PBs according to Endomondo of 1 km in 4:11 mins, and 1 mile in 7:07 mins. My Half Marathon training plan has finished, so I was originally going to go for a Half Marathon distance run today, but the heat was too much so I ended up running a lap through the park. Even though the run was in the evening, when it was cooler, it was still difficult going….

This is a Free Run, which means no target zones to worry about. On the plus side, miCoach also scores me. I scored 442. World Record, or top fitness is 1000, so I’m slightly below half ranked. Not too bad for my first run score ranking.

Today’s run was meant to be a long run but with the weather being really hot, I decided against doing a long run today and went for the 30 minute run I missed from yesterday instead.

I tried the race mode on the ZR2 app today, and it clocked it relatively accurately at the 5K mark. But strangely, even though I finished the mission, I got no additional material to put on my base. Surely that’s wrong, since the missions are story-related?

AKB48 is a nice music style to listen to during running :)

My body is aching, my legs are hurting, but I feel GREAT! 17.22 km (10.70 miles), 2 hours. Another few km and I’ll hit Half Marathon distance. And I broke several records on today’s run:

• Calories burned in one session (1338 calories) - ironically, my calorie target is 1500 calories per day, so this run almost burned my entire calorie allowance.
• Time spent in one session (2:06:35)
• Distance travelled in one session (17.22 km)

My current base from the ZR2 game:

A nice, smooth run, and I broke the 6 min/km mark. Definitely getting faster :) Still need work on maintaining the speed, though.
