Fckn steak looks sensational. .

Reverse Sear is the bomb

Cook steak in oven at 130 celsius (10 minutes per inch of steak thickness) so because my sirloins are only about 1 inch thick they were only in the oven for 10 minutes

Slap on hot pan/grill pan for 45 seconds each side and you're done. My steak was cooked to perfection, just shit the photo was out of focus

5km run in 25:28 (pace 5:04 p/km)

Absolutely blistering run. Quickest I've ever run in my life. My final 3km of this run were all done on sub 5 minute kilometres which I've never done before in my life. I only went for a run because I've my wrecked finger but didn't really know what to expect as this is my first outside run since September. Was just hoping to be able to manage a leisurely 4km.

However I just kept running faster and faster and wasn't getting out of breath.

I ran my 4th kilometre in 4:39 which is insanely fast by my standards, it's not like i was running on a flat course either. There's a 10 metre increase in altitude around this park according to google maps. I'm totally gobsmacked I was able to run this quick.

Wrecked finger for reference.
