Lui gat! Go run!
Tsek Greg, I blame Rona.
Ek weier! I don’t run I can sprint for 10 secs at a time only
That’s fine. Just do that then.
But do it a little slower than at sprinting speed, and maybe try doing it 6 times per minute, for 5 minutes at a time.
Ive never been a runner (the closest I ever got to it was sprints in hockey)
Forgot to mention yesterday that June is Pride Month.
Google dropping all the flags when searching for the term “pride month” at the moment:
Which led me to wondering about the meaning of some that I don’t recognize (specifically the one with the circle on the yellow background.)
So, if you’re curious like me, and don’t mind an odd “This Month Is…” post in your Today Is… topic…

Pride Month is also the reason that DontNod are giving away copies of Tell Me Why all through the month.
Me neither, until I tried, started with 700m on my first run(I lie, the first proper run was a 5km obstacle course with work, but that was more walking than running haha), then gradually went up and up, untill I could run 5km without stopping. kept going and starting doing park runs, timed my runs and got as low as 29:30 for a 5km. Ended up doing a 10km Obstacle course due to that practice.
But yeah, I stopped. I restarted and got back to that 29:30 about 2 years ago. Then stopped again lol. FML.
The last time I ran, was after the skelms, that grabbed my then girlfriends handbag.
Yoh, did you catch them? And were you swearing lielik while chasing?
No one gets away from me. Both went to jail.
Ive never been one, in school they politely asked me to rather take swimming than athletics - that is how bad I am
Not on the race track, and not in the streets either. Well done man.
Solid. Nothing wrong. Well done you.
The skelm and your girlfriend?

Today is: World Bicycle Day
World Bicycle Day is the United Nation’s attempt to recognize the vital importance of the bicycle across the globe. The bike has helped many families across the world to get access to cheap and reliable transportation. It’s no wonder so many partake in the celebration and want to get the word out to others about this exciting and eventful day.
The bicycle is one of the most important inventions in the history of the planet. It provides millions of people with a means of transport powered by nothing other than their bodies. It’s practical, reliable, and helps one to stay fit. Many find that it’s a fun and hassle-free way to get around and take care of daily tasks.
Cycling is an environmentally sound, safe, and healthy way to travel from point A to B. It’s something that we need to do more of if we want to protect the world against the ravages of unsustainable CO2 production. It can save lives, help improve the environment, and support poverty reduction, and for these reasons, it deserves far more attention than it currently receives.
The United Nations launched World Bicycle Day for several reasons. The first was to recognize the sheer transformative impact of the bicycle on society. Pedal cycles give even the poorest people in the world access to transport services. Bikes allow them to visit friends, collect water, and buy groceries.
The bicycle is a long-serving mode of transportation, which has helped practically every human community worldwide. All cultures and people alike can partake in the celebration and show their love for cycling.
The third purpose is to highlight the fact that many cities ignore the needs of pedestrians and cyclists. Policymakers have a bias towards the motor vehicle, serving its needs instead of using environmentally-sound alternatives. World Bicycle Day, therefore, is a chance to raise awareness of the benefits of cycling and promote measures to ensure better sharing of the roads.
It’s a chance for people to demand improvements to road safety and cycling mobility through a change in policies and measurable activity that protects and promotes the safety of riders and pedestrians.
The fourth purpose is to help save lives and reduce poverty. Investing in pedestrian and cycle routes in cities can help cut the rate of deaths while also taking traffic off the roads and investing in safer modes of intra-city travel. Promoting cycling can also help to reduce poverty.
By giving the poorest members of the community access to transportation, they can more easily commute to places of work. It helps them to achieve greater health equity by reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes, and even death.
It’s clear that World Bicycle Day is something that anyone can get involved with, even if they don’t ride a bike. Communities will thrive, individuals will be in better health, and the environment will take a turn for the better when cycling becomes the focus. There are so many positive results that emerge from World Bicycle Day that it’s certainly worth celebrating. It’s an opportunity to spark more appreciation for this simple yet beneficial means of transportation and to get everyone thinking about all the good reasons cycling should receive acknowledgment and public attention.
Whether you’re a pedal pusher or not, have the most brilliant of Thursdays!

Fek. Now I is a sad.
I’ve been considering putting my mountain bike back on the market. I don’t really have space to ride where I am right now, and as much as I want to get on for a last ride, my knee is already in a brace this week.
I do miss riding though.
I been thinking of putting it on the market too, I don’t have the funds to get back into it. Why do hobbies have to be so expensive!
I do miss riding too, so so much.
I havent been on a bike in years - we sold ours years ago
Does a stationary bike count tho?
