The object of this year's expedition is to see if we can find any trace of last year's expedition.

Today in #Perth was the #HBFRun Run for a Reason. First in the half marathon men's 70-79 category finished in 1:39:51, at a pace of 4:43min/km.

If those numbers don't mean much to you, take it from me that it is bloody impressive for someone who is at least 70 years old. Hats off to you sir!

Clothes I haven't worn in years I should really throw ou- NO! Not the t-shirt from my Botswana safari of 2011. I love that shirt!

Gawd the #giro looks like fun(*) today.

(*) for suitably small values of the word 'fun'

This is what people did for fun in 1971. They created giant alien amoebae and hung them on the wall. Crazy times.

I was born in 1971, so I know what my parents did for fun!

This evening's glorious #youtube rabbit-hole is watching various #vocal coach "reaction" videos to hearing John #Farnham for the first time.

I don't know how I got here but it's a great place to hang out for a while.

The website linked to my sports watch, that tracks my performance, is using this image to tell me that my current status is either I am too fatigued, or I'm regretting last night's vindaloo.

... or possibly that if I insist on running naked then someone is going to kick me in the balls.

Current training fatigue status is "well, these pants used to fit".

For some reason the #SBS #giro coverage is using UK commentators tonight and, without wanting to be controversial, they're plonkers.

I swear on the grave of the Holy Prophet Zarquon that THIS book I will finish before being distracted by another.

On the other hand ... I'm right into the #giro this year, so the pull of my annual reading of Tim Krabbe's The Rider is strong.

Oh the #giro looks wonderful today. Heavy #rain, wet roads, they're in the swim leg at the moment.

There seems to be a lot of people across the socials today who are watching something they know is going to get up their nose so they can post on the socials how much the thing is getting up their nose.

Come to think of it actually, not much different from any other day.

(no hashtags, you know what I'm referring to)

And on that note, I'm turning everything off and going to bed to read a book!

I am now officially into the speed work intervals block of half-marathon prep. Steady state is so ... April.

(That's HR, btw).

If I slog it out on the pavement for hours on end, I'm damn well going to reward myself with some math when I get home!

At age 51 I still have to pause, every time, to remember if what I mean is 'asterisk' or 'Asterix'.

@troberts I probably asked for that ... !
