Hi everyone,
I hope you’re doing well.
This is my final month of training before the Hackney Half Marathon, so I’ve been running quite a bit.
I wasn’t planning on running until a friend broke her knee and was forced to pull out. So I’m running on her behalf and I’m enjoying training for it.
I’m getting into these longer runs. The feeling and clarity you get from them is something special. They also happen to be a great way to explore the city and find new spots you otherwise wouldn’t have thought to visit.
Anyway, here’s the latest.
✨ Highlights from last month #
- Begun to make the switch from Notion to Obsidian.
- Set 5k, 7k and 10k run PRs.
- Made it to Snozone Milton Keynes for the first time.
- Added a reading page and a much better uses page to my site.
- Joined the Lean Web Club community.
- Learnt how to highlight YouTube videos with Reader.
- I discovered the world of decent decaf coffee.
