To whom it may concern,
As we all know, Ashfield’s main shopping strip down Liverpool Road favours the pedestrian, and parking a car is not for the faint of heart. I ride a bicycle and walk through Ashfield every day, grocery shopping and running errands.
When I ride my bike, I like to lock [...]

This is a week when I record all my incidental exercise. This is today’s

I felt quite fatigued, and I thought it was because of dance work last night and having less than 12 hours between blocks of exercise. But I managed to swim faster than [...]

distance: 1000 m duration: 00:30, calories: 271, feeling: great
