January 2019 ... here we go again!

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

24 January 2019                   19,734 steps                           17 minutes running                               weight 78.5kg

   A real scorcher around many parts of the country today, with my former home base of Adelaide breaking its maximum temperature record, set in 1939, with a whopping 47.7°C this afternoon. Further north, temperatures nearer 50°C were recorded in several towns.

   Over here in Sydney we were a relatively cool 28°C, and when I headed into the streets for my early morning run it was a genuine surprise to find conditions very pleasant. As a result, despite leg soreness and general weariness, I improved my time for the two laps of my hill climb circuit by some twenty seconds: a ‘season best’, if you will.

   We have some warmer weather again forecast for the next few days, but mercifully nothing like the temperatures they’re experiencing further west.
