No parkrun today as I was (a) not in a parkrun country this morning and (b) in a taxi to catch a plane. Back in the UK now and back home tomorrow. Just need to get through the centre of London on this incredibly unusual and mad weekend and then we should be home free!

Last day of the unofficial work retreat
It’s been lovely having a change of scenery to work in this week, but it’ll also be nice to be home for a while. Heading back to the UK tomorrow to settle in for the rest of the autumn – my favourite time of year.
It’s been a very busy year so far and I’m looking forward to a slightly quieter couple of months ahead.
Should’ve learnt
Travelling again today. It feels a bit rushed as we haven’t had time to recover from the race yesterday, but we couldn’t pick our dates for this one as we’re basing it around a work event for Geth. I really do need to make sure I don’t book travel straight after a race in the future, though (unless it’s travelling home from the race), because I’m remembering now that I need a bit more time to change headspace.
I still need time to digest the GNR. I’m hoping to be able to blog about it tomorrow or Wednesday.
The thunderstorm finally arrived
I was disappointed a few weeks ago when the weather forecast promised some thunderstorms that did not materialise. Some more were promised today and did arrive this time. The thunder and lightning hasn’t been hugely impressive (though there has been a bit!) but it’s good to get the air cleared.
I was also able to get out for today’s short run while it was still sunny, so can now enjoy the storm from indoors.
Another fairly intense day with work but we’re getting there.
Final week of training
Quite a lot to do this week but I’ve made a good start. I got more work done than expected today (so am hoping to be able to finish with day job stuff early this week and squeeze some extra game-making in) and have got a ton of extra admin done including sorting out a prescription prepayment certificate (for which I now qualify due to taking so many pills that I rattle 🙄).
There’s a nice trip next week that I’m looking forward to… but I need to focus on the GNR first! Doing a bit of extra strength training this week to make sure everything’s in order.
Another busy Friday
A fairly busy day with a social run (pace is improving!) followed by a long drive. Settling in for the evening now and looking forward to doing one of my favourite ‘further afield’ parkruns tomorrow (plus spending a bit of time with the in-laws).
Sleeping well at the moment. Hoping to keep doing enough exercise post-GNR that this will continue!
