Had another crack at a pb (under 5min /km). Missed it by 8 sec. Grrr

For a PT cruiser? Vanishingly rare in aus! But might be worth adding

Not sure if anyone has a similar thing they do. There have been some arguments lately in our car so I guess here we are.

Had no idea this was a thing to be honest.

Edit: bit tone deaf but can see the value in the changes.

How are we feeling about the update to the app (for those that use it)?

Its been a week and I’m still getting used to it.

Managed a pb today, getting close to 5:00/km.

2nd half marathon done - quite chuffed with my result (just over 2 hours). Was a beautiful day but I need a nap now!

They’re all just as shit. I broke a glass jar last time one of them broke on me.

On a related note, one of my endless todo items is to figure out a decent way to store them in the back of the car. My thought atm is to get some sort of flat, wide elastic strap and secure it to a corner of the boot, and then just kind of mush them all together in the elastic strap.

I’ve tried the car boot organisers. Their shit.

Jokes aside, he’s a disgrace. Sadly, considering he has been re-elected in the past despite worse behaviour, I expect this will be celebrated in his electorate.

Comfortably leading the race as she entered the last 12 miles, her vision began clouding from the periphery. Temporary distorted vision isn't unheard of in ultra-running; the stress of running so hard and long can mean the body struggles to refresh the fluid in the eyeball as usual. It is a condition known as corneal edema. But Dauwalter's case was particularly severe. As she continued towards the finish line, it worsened until she was effectively 90% blind.

Dauwalter made it to the aid station, but instead of dropping out, she used a volunteer to guide her by narrating the terrain as they ran. A battered and bleeding Dauwalter crossed the finish line - the first woman to do so that day - in 20 hours 38 minutes 09 seconds,, external with her vision returning to normal five hours later.

Wtaf. That is freaking amazing.

I respectfully disagree.

I put my degree on hold because I just couldn’t summon the motivation at the time to finish. 2 subjects shy of graduating.

FF 8 years later and my then current boss asks about it, I said I’d never finished it because reasons. He offers to help pay for any subjects I need to take to complete. It turns out if I’d left it on hold for any longer I would have forfeited the whole thing.

He not only paid the money for me to finish those last two subjects; once I graduated he bumped my pay substantially because now he had a university-educated staff member on the books.

Bendigo’s GovHub was another with this sort of construction technique. Interestingly Fairbrother had a lot to do with that as well.
