Back on the track

Running again

Lost some weight and started jogging again for the first time in three years, very slowly. Today did 3km at 7:35; first effort was 2.4km at 8:12. Used to run 5:30 between 5-10km.

Cooler night

Down to 7.9 degrees overnight at 4.47am, heading for 25 degrees today. It’s one of the cooler nights this winter but the days have been remarkably mild.

Robodebt

Not sure what I think of the Robodebt Royal Commission findings. They’re damning of the former government, but I wonder if this was a political inquiry? The scheme was bad and wrongly based on ideology. Will be interesting to see if Scott Morrison faces further scrutiny.
