5km 32.30, Fitness First North Ryde, Sydney

My last run was the milk run. So I have to admit it was a little hard to get started again. My fitness level is not so great, heart rate was higher than normal at 60bmp but that could also be because I was driving in sydney traffic, my first car, my first day of driving in sydney.

So yes I bought a brand new Hyundai Getz and drove to the gym in horrendous sydney traffic. I have to get used to the idea of distances in this country. I am moving about mostly in the North East area of the city suburbs and its so easy to clock mileages. 200km in 3 days. But I was also roving around to get myself used to the car.

So Fitness First platinum here cost about AUD90. I pay a bit more for my membership in Sing. Probably going to continue with it because its got an indoor heated pool.

How am I doing here? very well thank you. I'm settling in rather quickly. Its cold and getting colder and wetter. But I found my accomodation, a 2 bedroom unit in a good area not too far from the office. Nothing like my condo in Singapore, but it will do for now.

Glad to know that you are settling well in Sydney!
Enjoy the new environment. Heard that there are many great trail runs around Sydney.
