    The official running thread™

    Was out for practically all of 2025 due to a nagging ankle issue. Slowly starting to get back at it. I think Comrades 2027 will be a good one for the bucket.

    Actively pursuing a state of OMAD. Just had my first meal of the day. Looking to get to about 3pm and beyond. Currently 91kg so looking for some - out of box - measures to lose 6kg more. 85 is ideal for my height and build.
