Midweek bounce

The week continues apace. Got all my work finished today so I should be able to get in some game-making tomorrow (too busy on Friday).

A surprisingly faster ‘easy run’ this morning – I need to watch out for that and make sure I’m keeping things easy!

Also extremely happy that it’s September tomorrow. The signs of autumn are starting.

Off to a good start

One day down of the truncated work week and I’ve already got the bulk of my day job work done. This is very hopeful in terms of having a bit of time to work on a game towards the end of the week.

Weekday runs are also going well – I’m not suffering from the post-long-run energy slump that has been a thing for the last few weeks. Still feeling good about the GNR. Twelve days to go 🙂

Long weekend

Friday is here and with it the running weekend. I ran with the social group this morning, will do an easy-paced parkrun tomorrow and will go for eight miles on Sunday. Other than running I will be keeping things extremely quiet. September is really busy for us and I need to conserve some energy.

Bank holiday on Monday (I always forget about these things until they’re upon us) so a bit of extra weekend too!

Being more comfortable

House projects are going well at the moment. I am mostly reorganising things (got some new crates on the way from Amazon later this week – super exciting I know!). Decluttering is an ongoing process and my hoarding tendencies make it hard. I’m planning to make a bit of a ‘station’ for it in the next few days so that it doesn’t take over the house.

I’m getting some good gaming time in this week as well. There have been a lot of times this year when I’ve been so busy with TechUP or my game projects or other things that I just haven’t scheduled enough time into the day to switch my brain off properly. I’m trying to make that a priority for the rest of the year.

Weekend mode

Started today off with a lovely run with the social group, which is becoming something I’m really enjoying on Friday mornings. Volunteering at parkrun tomorrow so will do a very gentle run back, and then hopefully I’ll be able to manage my twelve miles on Sunday!

I’ve been making a bit more time for reading and gaming this week, which has been so beneficial (I’m usually non-stop with day job stuff, writing, running and other ‘busy’ pursuits). Going to try and continue this.

Low-effort rain

The promised storm has not arrived. There has been some drizzle to cool things down but it’s still slightly muggy. Running is getting a lot more comfortable.

A large chunk of today has been spent being a cat bed for next door’s cat, who does not appear to be impressed by the drizzle.
