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:
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.
