5 x 1 mil intervals for today. There was a strong headwind and I really struggled to keep up the pace in the last 2 reps.
I also skipped the gels today, and given the weather conditions it was not a very smart move ๐

I wonder, if Linux statistics are however affected that for some stuff with DRMs, you have to run Steam itself under Wine, making it count as "Windows version".

"Antarctic Icefish are famous for living without red blood cells, but they are not alone. A species of needle-shaped, warm-water fish also lacks #hemoglobin and red blood cells. Like #icefish, its veins are filled with translucent white blood... #noodlefish adults retain juvenile features... In many other #fish, juveniles donโt need to make red blood cells because they absorb oxygen through their skin"

20 Million + Americans brace to start New Year without healthcare
Adrienne Martin and her family are starting the New Year off without healthcare.
The 47-year-old Texas mother had to make a difficult choice when she found out her monthly healthcare premium was increasing in 2026 from what she described as a manageable $630 (ยฃ467) to an unaffordable $2,400 (ยฃ1,781).
Her husband depends on an IV medication to treat a blood-clotting disease that costs $70,000 a month without insurance. Knowing their benefits would expire, the family stockpiled the drug to survive the first few months of the year.
"It would be like paying two mortgage payments," she said of the new monthly price for healthcare. "We can't pay $30,000 for insurance a year."

Right here we go at last. A task for 2026.
I originally planned to begin reading 'Ulysses' on the day I moved out of Dublin after living there for years, but when the cay finally came, moving happened so suddenly and hurtfully that I put this plan aside.
I was gifted a copy at Christmas and have decided now is the time, as for some strange reason I am also re-attached to the city this year through four different upcoming projects there.
