In the process of 'redesigning' the spare room where I usually work, which has involved selling my desk. So for a week - before the new desk is built - this is my working space. I already have back ache. 😩😂

Trying to write a blog post to sum up 2022 - going back to user research, prioritising my life outside of work, and going to therapy.

It's currently a big old brain dump and not making a whole load of sense but just putting words down has been a realisation that it's been a big year.

Finished reading Miriam Margolyes's This Much is True. Very much what I expected it to be in some places but the detail of her stories throughout her life were great to read and overall was really enjoyable.

Hugely enjoyed my race today. There were only about 60 of us running, these are totally the races I prefer to any others - no time pressure, super friendly, no big fancy marketing or unwanted goody bag filled with crappy vouchers. Just runners doing their thing, together. One of the marshals even made me a coffee at the end. Ace.
Penultimate race of the year done - 10 miles around Derwent reservoir. Very ready for 6 weeks of not racing so I can plod around on my own at weekends and take some of the pressure off. Feels like I spend all my free time #running at the moment and I've got another weekly mileage increase on the horizon. 🙈
Poured myself this without even thinking this morning - hopefully the sign of a good day ahead.

I'm going to try and not make my Mastodon all about running, but I had a lovely time this morning at a local ten mile trail run. Everyone was so friendly and the weather stayed dry. Makes such a huge difference when i work from home to spend a good chunk of the weekend enjoying being outdoors in the daylight.
