Life

I’m living in Wallingford with my wife Marion and our two children Arthur, 5, and Emma, 20 months. I am getting ready for half-term and running more than before.

Learning

At the moment I am learning about Atomic Habits and Deep Work. I am keeping this site spruced up and learning a lot about 11ty and in the process doing more writing which I am getting slowly better at. At work I am keeping a habits diary and I am starting to notice trends and eliminate bad habits, its amazing what you see if you keep a moment by moment diary! Its amazing what a good first hour has on the rest of the day, and vice versa. Its amazing how much water and good music have too.

Fitness

Running is taking most of my time and enjoyment which is great because I love running in the mud and cooler weather. As of last week I have also just started going back to the gym again after a few months away so I will be using that to improve my upper body strength and get some variation from something that is not running. So I am running three or four times a week, and gyming once or twice.

I’m keeping my eye out for some good running races to enter.

Family

Marion and the kids are well. Marion’s currently in South Africa for work so I’m looking after the children. Arthur started Primary School last September and is having a great time. Everyone is looking forward to the half-term break.
