Also a saturated Saturday, am I doing this right?

Figures just when I’ve paid it my course fees for my masters of applied manaplaining.

Promotional billboard for the university blocking entrance to building, it shows a man in flagrante describo about his last fishing trip and related matters. Five non-male-personages look on.

Kafka on the shore brings the ghosts, but it is Magical Thinking that still haunts me.

It seems to have had the unwanted side effect of making your right arm all muscly. Maybe you could get a couple of other vaccinations in your left arm so you aren’t lopsided?

Should be ‘recovery run for the gradual declines and tailwinds wearing fresh-foam kicks on a sunny-but-mild low-humidity day’.

The idiom ‘run for the hills’ describes the act of decamping to avoid an unpleasant situation. However, running hills is itself not exactly a bed of roses, as I was reminded just now. 🤨

So you could say they were steaked at the burn, rather than burned at the stake.

Starting line for this afternoon’s eight mile run thoughtfully included a motivational mantra, in case you forgot to pack one.

Photo of non-descript building with banner signage displaying motto of a suburban gym. Drop weight. Get strong. Become harder to kill. Not hard to kill mind you just harder. A bit more effort required. White fluffy clouds float overhead.

And blanking out their own faces to evade identification no less. Another good reason to stay away from the roads when you run.

It is no coincidence that sports massage and sado-masochism share the same initials.

Commemorated this year’s international day of the girl child by going for a 5 mile run in the local nature reserve. It is my go to mode of commemoration, tbh.

Hope you are going some place nice and not to endure a multi level marketing grift🤞, unless it’s a running gear party and the pitches are all delivered by hot sub-three marathoners 😍.

I could only hear the sizzle. 😋

Yes, hide tech, for the good of the tourism sector, apparently.

TFW you lay on the grass for some innocent cloud bursting only to be interrupted by more UFOs* so you have to shake your fists and shout ‘get off my sky.’ * Unidentified Flapping Objects

Grainy footage of a flock of white birbs hiding about the penumbra and obviously up to no good. The sky is all shades of blue.

More of same. Blur is likely due to use of some kind of jamming device.

More birbs wheeling about just out of range.

I still do easy saunters in sauconies that have 700 miles on them, the pair before that made it to 650. Comfortable but a little slipper-y these days.

Me, at a hospital: Doctor doctor Doctor: that’s not my name Me: ok, but gimme the news Doctor: you’ve got a bad case of .. Me: .. loving you? Doctor: No Me, strumming air guitar: .. no .. pill's gonna cure my ill I've got a bad case of lovin' youuu Doctor, flicking syringe: this will hurt.

Siri, play Caroline Polachek and book a long weekend at my favourite winery.

Haha, yes, not a stroke, getting outside for a run helps, touch wood.

Solstice at the industrial estate run club, when the sun rises fiery and raw along the axis of the main drag.

The photographer captures the moment that the sun crowns over the horizon, a downscale cityscape in the foreground, while waiting for some other runners to turn up already so they can make their ritualistic sacrifice to the jogging gods.

You could say that for a castle it is chochas with books.

I should add that to get past the censors all my photos are taken with a filter that erases snakes, spiders, sharks and most stingrays. The idyllic scene presented in reality could well have passed as a setting for an Indiana Jones movie.

Just ducking out for a run no doubt.

Observing the water until the random glistening condenses into strobes of individual points of light, switching on and off in unison, indicating that your mind has come into the present and is syncing with the frequency of the natural world about you, or your are having a stroke.

Chilling in the bay after today’s five miler. Pace was quicker than usual for my easy run, possibly an artefact of the recent short duration intervals.

That’s okay then. I imagine you get to see lots of volvos. over there. Actually I might have spelt that wrong?

Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

There’s still hope! I also listened to episode 139 (on the Norwegian method) and tried the 45/15 second repeats workout. It was fun way to escape the usual heart rate and pace.

Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Well I hope you wore something down there because that’s not really an excuse the authorities are inclined to accept. Or so I am told.

There are people who donate their bodies in a bid to achieve a sort of immortality but I plan to achieve this by simply not dying. So far so good!

Nice way to spend three hours, I find half marathons rather bruising too, on the plus side at least your knees match.

Consumer rights and guarantees

That’s ironic, in an Alannis Morisette way, in that a log should be better suited to a pool than solid ground. But it the device doesn’t do something similar devices do and you weren’t warned then perhaps ask for a refund, invoking your statutory guarantee rights? www.accc.gov.au/consumers/bu...

Consumers have the right to expect certain things when they buy a product or service. These rights are protected under consumer law and are known as consumer guarantees.

Make the Zeilony Jar course Jar Zeilony by running it in reverse and that will be your J sorted. Plus the ground will be overlating rather than undulating when done in that direction.

Ah, yes, the sharing of a cab with a corporate lawyer who proselytises on a subject on which you are better versed, please, settle in while I explain in some detail what I imagine I know of this experience, key synopsis being that the only cab that should ever be shared is a feisty Cabernet.

Looks like someone got very competitive with the workplace Steptember challenge.

*speaking slowly* An amount of food you can’t finish on your plate? *scratches head* While I understand these words individually, as a runner I can’t seem to relate to them as a phrase. Is it meant as an entirely imaginary construct, like the gastronomic equivalent of a googolplex?

Pump up the volume will hit different now (thinking about your gym work).

Suffice to say that this morning’s experience had me mumbling quite an evocative oratory.

A distracted greeter, sloppy writing by a register operator, poor annunciation by the barista, later arrivals being called to collect, an unclaimed cup going cold on the bench; each of these are triggers that attract a culturally appropriate linguistic response.

Similar to arctic communities with their rich and varied language to describe snow, denizens of Melbourne practice an extensive lexicon for the existential dread of the coffee shop losing your order.

Visited coffee roasters this morning to get first run on the board for month and pick up some beans. A misty morning kept the numbers down.
