  1. In 2023, I had to stop doing cardio due to long COVID. Energy was scarce, and I could only manage weights. Early that year, running was also off the table thanks to a deviated septum. It was tough to let go of something I used to love.

    Fast forward to now—I’ve started to ease cardio back into my routine. A few weeks ago, I added 5 minutes of hard rowing and 5 minutes of cycling at the end of my weights sessions. This week, I introduced a few short walks.

    And wow, the difference! I’ve noticed I have more energy, and I’m able to perform better for longer throughout the day. Today, I’m out walking 6km, something that felt so far out of reach not too long ago.

    If you’re rebuilding after setbacks, remember—progress doesn’t have to be all at once. Small steps add up!

  2. Today in The Age & Sydney Morning Herald- my story for Traveller about taking trains and ferries all the way round Port Phillip Bay, tasting great food as I crossed the Bellarine Peninsula.

    You can read it by buying a print copy of the newspaper; and I'll share the link to the online version when it appears later.

  3. Went for my first walk since spraining my ankle, 2.4 km on the farm.

    A lot more bruising coming out around my ankle bone today. A bit of soreness around the ankle.

  4. Squat day at the gym!

    Felt really good today for having manipulated the stiff muscles in my hamstrings and lower back. Much looser and much less pain.

    Really good workout even with brain fog earlier. Felt better for doing it.

  5. Pull night at the gym!

    Had a good workout. First pull session without deadlifts in a long time. No core stuff to protect my abs, so I'm doing more arm work.

    Followed up with a 6km walk at home.

  6. Squat night at the gym!

    Went for a 6km walk late this afternoon at home before heading to the gym.

    Head a good session, though I won't try the single leg squats on a Smith machine again. Too restrictive.

  7. Pull day at the gym!

    A long, hard, and good session. First session of extra reps. Feeling focused and determined to have a good summer.

    Followed up with a 10.1km walk at home. If I keep that up, I'll get to listen to a lot of podcasts.

  8. Push day at the gym!

    The first push day of the new block went great, hit all the marks. I'm feeling really good for it.

    Followed up with a 4.8km walk at home.

  9. New at my Patreon... Last weekend I travelled clockwise around Port Phillip Bay by train, bus and ferry - eating good food at a number of restaurants on the way:

  10. Informative news story from the Doherty Institute on progress against the soft-tissue ulcer-causing bacterium Mycobacterium ulcerans which is endemic in the #MorningtonPeninsular and in the #Bellarine, #Victoria

    Carried by #possums and with a probable #mosquito vector role, the team at the #Doherty are researching its #biology and the development of candidate #vaccines. Find out more here:
