Feeling a bit 2-steps-forward-1-step-back about everything at the moment. Not least the running - pace is getting worse instead of better! The weather is definitely getting 'typical' for the time of year now after a rather exciting and unexpected week a couple of weeks back. During which, I have to admit, I barely even moved. We're definitely approaching that season where it's dark when I get up and dark again by the time I get home, which is always a bit of a test motivation-wise.
To try to boost this motivation thing, I spent a slightly stupid amount of money on a body health monitor thingy that talks to my Garmin pedometer and also sends data to a bit of software on the PC. This will be fun, I thought. I'll really be able to track the benefits I'm getting from all this ridiculous moving about. I took my first readings yesterday and they were duly uploaded to my Garmin Connect site. I'm sorry to say I find it all a bit rude for now. It takes measurements like body fat percentage which I can take or leave - although the 7.4% body fat of my early 20's is definitely a dim and distant thing and not likely to make a comeback - but also 'calculates' a 'metabolic age' and tells you whether you're in the healthy, overweight or obese range. I am absolutely not sharing this page!!! I will report improvements if, indeed, there are any.
2 more sessions needed this week, 1 the same as today's and a more challenging one. Both are likely to be at the weekend, as getting up for work is my current version of early-to-rise and I need to spend my evenings putting together an application for a promotion.
Meantime, here's the usual geekfest:

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
