Challenges

Yesterday marked the end of my 1 month of walking challenge, managed 27 days out of 31 to actually get on the treadmill or go out for a walk, 7 of the days ended up being treadmill jogging/runnning final tally was 122km walking and 51km running. Pretty good. Walking times per kilometre reduced considerably getting y down from just under 9 minutes per km to being able to walk 10km at 8m15s average per km. which is pretty fast and you really have to concentrate, a better pace is about 8m45s which is quite comfortable. Was really good to get out by the river and surrounds so many times, always greeted by loads of friendly people out walking/running/cycling. Great views. Ive worked out a few circuits for myself, 5km,6km,8km,10km. just to have a goal on the day

New challenge for the next month is to jog/run everyday. Started today with 45min treadmill jog managing 6.4km, so a decent start, i want to try to do at least 30mins everyday, hopefully i can get out in public for a few jogs, as the view on the treadmill isnt that great, just gotta get the confidence to get out there.

I purchased an action camera this week, so can start taking some videos. Its a Kaiser Baas x450 which was the best rated of the cheaper cameras, coming in about a third of the price of the cheapest gopro, looks to be a pretty good unit, still have to test it properly, will be awesome for the trip to Central Otago next year, hopefully ive got it sussed by then.

I might look at starting a Youtube channel now that i have the camera, but still thinking of ideas, hot chillis and beer, cycling by the river, sim racing or i have a few projects im currently working on, building a table etc.
