Except it’s May. May!
Yes, the 10-day forecast for the first half of May mentions rain or showers EVERY DAY.
I mean, this is no doubt better than ten days of heat domes and will do wonders to dampen the threat of forest fires, but this is a little silly.
Maybe some day we’ll be living in some Star Trek future where we can control the weather. Until then, a boy can dream.
I was even faster today, which I find odd, but delightful. I watched some videos again, but in a change of pace, watched a rather long (30+ minute) video from Snazzy Labs doing a battery and screen replacement on an iPhone mini 12. I don’t know if that had any effect on my pace, but wanted to mention it. Also, Quinn Nelson is very polite when on a call to support.
Looking over the splits, I see that my pace was remarkably consistent–there was no mid-point sag, and the slowest and fastest times were only separated by three seconds. We’ll see if I can consistently stay consistent.

I made a rhyme!
I stayed on a wee bit longer today in order to finish watching a Let’s Game It Out video. This stuff is important.
Stat-wise, very similar to yesterday’s workout, so I am again pleased with result.

For reasons I can’t really explain, I was quite swift today. My first km was 8:42/km, which is kind of zany. And despite being so fast, my BPM barely increased. This is good. I am pleased. I slowed a bit through the second and third km, then picked up again for the fourth and fifth, with an overall pace of 8:54/km.
It’s weird, but I like it. Maybe I’m actually getting in better shape?

The last time I went to do a workout on the treadmill, I didn’t. These things happen sometimes. But I noticed a message on the display saying it was time to lubricate the thing.
I checked the manual, which had instructions but no pictures and was kind of vague. I then searched YouTube and found a much clearer video of the process, plus the guy doing it was wearing super-bright orange running shoes.
After a couple of blah days, it was time to start sweatin’ to the videos again, so I queued up my Watch Later list and watched it right now, like the rebel I am.
Overall, I did better than expected, nearly matching my previous pace.

It is May 1st and April was a trial. I do not want May to be a trial.
That is all.
