Looks pretty cool. But I somehow doubt the claim it will survive any urban environment.

Yeah, plus I like to keep my eyes on the road or the view and don't need any tech intruding on the whole experience.

I must say I'm quite pleased with having a satnav on my road bike.
The cycling route signage isn't geared to higher speeds and distances and I just can't memorize a 100 km route in an area I'm unfamiliar with.

Yes I could see how that would be useful; I guess I don't mind getting lost (metaphor for ones life?)

My knee hurt for the last two months. I can barely go running, cycling is fine though.
I guess I should see a doctor eventually. 

Is this the end of project: 2 hour half marathon?

Down to 108 Kg (from 117 in January).

It's a testament to how dire things were that I'm down nearly 10 kg and I still look like a fatass. 10 more should do the trick, I guess

Well, I am crushing it. StrongLifts 5x5 has dramatically improved my overall fitness and health (BP down, weight heading down, muscle mass up). Clothing fits better. I'm at the point where every workout is a real struggle, which is a good sign, IMHO.  Still packing about half an extra average human, but who gives a fuck? My objective is not to end up as decrepit as my father and his younger brother when I'm in my 70s. Between them, they have five knee replacements, 3 hip replacements, 2 hip rescissions, and three back surgeries.

You can do it!

Anyone doing much of this nowadays?

I've gotten a membership in a fitness club. My employer decided to pay for it, so I won't feel as bad when I don't use it.

So, that's, a, positive?

I mean, I'll go to the intro. And then once more at the very least.

Also, mountain bike season is starting (ie. forest is emptying of the summer riders leaving more space on the designated tracks).

Yes, I'm just getting back 'my' forest from tourists as well. If the weathers good I'll try to sneak in some evening rides before the nights really draw in.
