Having time off work is great and very relaxing but it also makes me realise how much I need the structure of a regular job. So far this week has been very productive, I have got to do a bunch of things that I wanted to do. Plenty of running, streaming, writing, I have also … Continue reading Time Off Work

Lovely Spring Run
I don't know if it officially spring time yet but my run this morning certainly felt as though it was a spring run. There were daffodils and other spring flowers on the grass next to the cycle track which I run down. It was so warm that I was wearing only a small sleeveless top … Continue reading Lovely Spring Run
Week 11 – Birthday Week
This week was my birthday week and I have to admit that it hasn't been the best week for me in terms of diet (and I don't think that next week will be either). I did quite well in terms of snacks for most of the week but by the time that it got towards … Continue reading Week 11 – Birthday Week
Antisocial Runner?
A lot of people that I know seem to really dislike running alone and much prefer to meet up with a few friends when they go for their run. For me however I enjoy running alone, this time by myself and away from the distractions of everyday life gives me time to think about things … Continue reading Antisocial Runner?
Today Was Not A Good Day
Today started out well enough, I managed to get up early to go for a run. I managed to run for a little bit over 6km even though it was very windy and a bit rainy outside. My commute into work was also pretty standard and uneventful (there was a bit of flooding on the … Continue reading Today Was Not A Good Day
Week 10 – A Better Week
Last week was better week for me in many ways but I am still feeling very exhausted. I have been really busy lately and that has not been very helpful as it makes everything feel more difficult (including running). Even though I have been feeling very tired I still managed to get out for my … Continue reading Week 10 – A Better Week
So Tired But I am Still Trying
The other night I had a really bad nights sleep, the kind of sleep where you wake up once an hour from about 1 am. I was already awake when my alarm went off so I decided that I may as well go out for a run rather than just laying awake. It was the … Continue reading So Tired But I am Still Trying
I Ran In The Rain
I wouldn't really consider myself a fair weather runner, mainly because I prefer to run when it is cold rather than when it is warm or hot. Having said that however, there is one thing I really don't like and that is rain. I don't like running in the rain, I don't like cycling in … Continue reading I Ran In The Rain
Not All Vegans Are Angry
Most people seem to have an impression that all vegans are angry and judgmental about everything. To the extent that I am hesitant to tell people that I am vegan sometimes, even when it is relevant to the conversation or context. I don't think that this impression is helped by a very vocal minority of … Continue reading Not All Vegans Are Angry
Week 9 – Difficult Week
I have found this week quite difficult, not so much in terms of the running but in terms of the time of year and a bunch of other things. Firstly, I haven't had a good chunk of time off for a while, this means that I am really feeling the need for a good rest … Continue reading Week 9 – Difficult Week
