More days off this week (Wednesday afternoon onwards, which along with Monday and Tuesday next week will pretty much use up my remaining holiday before the new leave year starts in April). Not done a huge amount with them so far, other than a few hours hacking down an embarrassingly large amount of brambles from the back garden.
It’s also the last big week before starting to taper for the marathon in two weeks, and I somehow ended up doing a total of 60 miles – my highest weekly mileage for over three years.
Holly and I got our long run over on Friday as we both happened to be off work. We did a fairly random 20 mile trail loop, and encountered a woman walking a donkey (sadly too surprised to ask whether she minded me taking a photo), and later a remarkably friendly sheep.
In classic slapstick moment on Wednesday, I was loading up the bread maker when my watch buzzed with a notification. I turned my hand to read it, forgetting that I had an open packet of yeast in my hand until I felt it pouring onto my foot.
I finished playing Fallen Order, and have started on Neva. So far it feels a bit more linear than Gris, which I stopped partway through feeling like I was missing where I was supposed to go (and then figured I’d have forgotten the mechanics and would have to start from scratch).
