Apparently my gas fireplace can overheat

Really need to save up for a heat pump...

Wtf is going on with youtube, it's putting a shitload of alt-right bullshit in my feed

Aight, got something interesting

Next year, I will do a Parkrun in a different province every month!

And maybe a different country each month in 2027

Alright, so now I know I can fairly easily run over an hour under 150hr at 6:40 pace.

Now to experiment doing intervals between that and faster paces to see if I can also lower my hr with it

Ran 11K, 5K to go in 24 weeks
November 5, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Ugh, was doing a great run when it started raining and wasn't dressed for that.
November 2, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Aight, nicely recovered, ready to get a new longest run in 😁

27:24 5K, smashed my PB by 1:46
Though I don't know if that heart rate is accurate... 25+ minutes in zone 5 🤔
Though, I'm wearing a heart rate belt, so it should be accurate...

Trouble breathing and I can't sit up or stand up right after a couple situps.

Wtf

Ah, my favorite night of the year, an extra hour of sleep

Ran 12.5K at 10Kph, 3.6K left and 6 months of training left!

Damn, saw this video yesterday about floating point precision errors.
Did I coincidentally encounter this exact bug today?
Yes, yes I did.

Wanted to get a decent tempo 5K in today, but started way too fast, didn't think I'd still do well after slowing down, so went for a pb mile instead.
October 22, 2025 at 2:37 PM
Every step that I take feels like a squat

Guess I'll have a rest day tomorrow
October 19, 2025 at 10:35 PM
Holy shit, just completed my first full 10K 🥳
October 19, 2025 at 3:29 PM
Broke my 1K pb by 13 seconds 😁
October 16, 2025 at 4:24 PM
First 5K since April after 2 weeks of training and I somehow broke my outside running PB 😂
October 15, 2025 at 4:11 PM
Damn, cycled 31.6km without stopping in 1:18 with 81m ascent
Not too bad
October 10, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Ain't no way it's that high 😭
October 1, 2025 at 4:18 PM
Got back to running, can still do 2 miles at 10kph pace, not great, but not as bad I was expecting.

Over 6 months to get into 10 miles shape, doing 3 runs + 2 cycling sessions per week (replacing cycling sessions with extra treadmill sessions in case of bad weather) so should be perfectly doable

Put up a simple light fixture, it's not much, but first time I dared to work on anything electricity related 🙂
