Flying Wednesday post

There have been a few too many flying posts recently – life has been pretty manic and I’ve not had much time for blogging. Things are finally starting to wind down a bit, however, and I’m looking forward to some time off.

Long run day tomorrow. Crossing everything that the pain mitigation tactics will work!

Flying Wednesday post

I’m not doing very well with my scheduled blog posts at the moment! Life should calm down again in the next couple of weeks (I am really keen to get back to gamebook reviewing).

In the meantime, here’s a photo of some nettles at the side of the canal from last week. Not a very exciting photo but it marked the turnaround point of my long run so it was important to me!

Nettles
Some thistles too. I still felt really good at this point! Slowed down a bit on the return leg…

Flying Sunday post

Still chilling out this weekend.

On Cloudflyer Wide
I’ve been trying out short runs with this new pair of shoes. They’re nice but I can already tell they’re not going to be my holy grail shoes for comfort on long runs, so my search continues.

Only one month to go until meteorological autumn. I am starting to think about it…

Flying Saturday post

It was AMAZING to be back at parkrun today, flying in a different way (at least for the last 800 metres – the preceding 4.2k was a bit of a plod). Having a slow Saturday now. More games from the parallel universe next week!

The best thing about races and parkruns is the incentive to speed up a bit towards the end. Photo by Mark Slade for Town Moor parkrun.

Having a lovely weekend off. Back to the running ramblings next Sunday!

Sunglasses
Wayfarers on, baby. These have been a lifesaver over the last few weeks while out running – my eyes have still been a bit sensitive while recovering from my uveitis attack.

Third flying post in a row 🙄 Gutted as I’m itching to tell you about all the gamebooks I’ve been playing recently! However, Gamebook Wednesday #2 will have to wait till next week. I’m still massively snowed under with work.

Gamebooks
I can’t wait to ramble on about these!

I can at least promise a Phone Box Thursday post tomorrow. I will need a quick break from my final push to get all my day job work done before Friday… however long it takes!

Flying Monday post

No adventures in coding to report this week. I would like to have been playing with a few experimental games I want to make and working on my ongoing projects, but I’ve been snowed under with day job work and haven’t had the time or energy. Hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel by the end of the week!

Switch Lite
I also need to switch this thing on tonight and check it’s still okay, as I haven’t had time to use it for a few months now. Maybe I’ll actually have chance to play games on it one of these days!
