Weigh-in 99kg, not as bad as I feared given that training and diet have been shot with the onset of epic hayfever. Hoping that the new meds will bring it under control.

Just a couple of miles trailer chores today. The heat and hayfever have made it impossibly uncomfortable to train with any seriousness.

Yay, random office co-drone says, "Have you lost weight? you look like you've lost a lot of weight." I'm easily pleased.

30 mile bike commute in good order today.

I've been a naughty boy, driving all last week and hitting the pies. Okay, I had some bad news, but that's no reason to stay off the wagon. Weigh-in was 98.4kg. 3-mile run tonight in 26:02, good time but it felt hard.
