A fifth bus was waiting to join the roundabout that's currently gridlocked by four buses

This poor guy fifth-wheeling it in the background

I didn't think there was another episode until 7th September. I thought he signed off last week saying they'd be back in a couple of weeks

Thank you 😊

Couch to 5k. Week 1. Run 3

A change of route to remove 2 flights of stairs and two uphill sections made a massive difference!

12/21 😞

Also... I'm so going to try some of those 🤣

Couch to 5k. Week 1. Run 1. 2.39 miles in 34 minutes

Average heart rate of 139 bpm 3 and a half minutes in "max" 90%+ range 🥵

After randomly just running around like an uncontrolled maniac last week... I took @andyukb.bsky.social and @chippychip.bsky.social advice and tried Couch to 5k...

... Not bad. Definitely more evenly paced. Have definitely recovered quicker... But that could be the cooler temperature

Sentry.io loading screen that asks you to wait while it loads "an obnoxious amount of JavaScript"

This message always makes me laugh while it loads...

Good point... I'll revisit it. I tried it 5+ years ago, and just found the whole experience awful. But after my trial "run", I know I don't hate it so much now. I'll give it a go!

My "run" knacked my legs... Apparently I forgot to do something called "stretching"... Nope. No idea! 🤷

Anyway... After an attempt at Pilates yesterday, which was quite good. I thought... Better try getting back on the bike.

Not bad considering I can hardly walk down stairs 🤣

I haven't posted for a while... But... Tonight... After a 5 and a half year gap between my last one and today...

... I went for a "run" 🥵🥵

Graphic showing average HR for bike ride was 147 BMP - with less than 1 minute under 127, 10 minutes between 127 and 145, 20 minutes between 146 and 163, and 34 seconds at over 164 🥵

Ok... So I may have stepped it up too high too early... But nearly 20 out of 30 minutes in the 80-90% range, and 34 seconds over 90% 😬😬

I'm definitely knackered now 🥵🤣

I might have to take a break tomorrow 😬

Average HR of 137 bpm. With nearly 8 minutes in the 80-90% mav HR range

Slowly building up... 😬

Wow! Yeah... That's mad!

I barely get above 145, let alone hitting 185 like you have.

I thought the maximum heart rate is meant to be 220 minus your age... So you're really going for it!

I genuinely start to feel like I'm going to pass out north of 165 🤣

If it's like liquid bonfire I'm in!

Consistent average HR...
... With a couple more minutes in the 80% range

Slow and steady progress 😬

That better for you @raekul.bsky.social ? 😜

For the first attempt in months... I'm calling that a win 😜

Graph of my indoor bike ride... 30 mins, average of 131 BPM heart rate

Back in the saddle... Literally 🚴

Thank you! 😊
I've had an amazing day, thank you! 😊

Thank you!

He got me some blackberries, a disposable BBQ from the local garage and a regifted dictionary... I've had a "great" day.

(All lies... I've been spoiled rotten! 😊😊)

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

... although suspiciously... No Percy Pigs? 🤔

Did that link I shared help? Have you contacted Sky?

Did you manage to get back online?

Thanks Gemini 🧐

I don't think that's a faint green light, I think that's off, and it's green spilling from the other two lights.

Are you on full fibre? If so, what are the lights on the Openreach box?

Also... Might be worth checking this...

Greetings 👋

Excuse me! I won't have you dissing my wine bus 😜
