Week Notes 2021/8

Mon Mar 1, 2021

Introduction

Notes for the week of 21st through 28th of February 2021.

The Notes

• The defining feature of the week was being on-call. It went well, but had the defining problem of being on-call during lock down, so on top of being a week of low level anxiety, poor sleep, and spending too much time on my phone doomscrolling.
• Week eight of the half marathon program.
  • Tuesday was a 2 mile recovery run.
  • Thursday was 7 mile run with 4 miles at half marathon pace.
    • I beat my 10km person best. I covered the distance in 58:44 and that’s including stopping for traffic lights.
  • The Sunday run wasn’t great. I was meant to run 8 miles, but went out with the intention of 8km instead and eventually settled on just over 5km. The weather was fine and the beach crowded. I was tired.
  • Next week I’m going to repeat this weeks plan so I can keep the distance. I may do a thresh hold test on Thursday though.
• The coffee for this week was from Hard Lines, a roaster from Cardiff, Wales. A Columbian coffee called Los Cristales.
• On Monday, I made chopped cheese with vegan burgers.
• On Monday, we watched Star Trek: Deep Space 9 S6E14 “One Little Ship”.
  • I’ve already forgotten it.
• On Thursday, I ordered cali burritos from FreshMex.
  • Post run victory food!
• On Saturday night, I made rice with sweet chilli veggie burgers and roast veg.
• I continued reading City of the Iron Fish by Simon Ings.
  • But not on pace because of many late nights.
  • The last alert I acknowledged on my phone to read was the 26th.
• On Saturday night we watched Starship Troopers on Disney+.
• I finished the main story of Ghost of Tsushima.
• I started playing Control.
  • Yes. This is my jam.
• I bought a Novation Circuit Tracks.
  • It’s great.
• No work on fiction projects this week.

Addendum: This should have been posted yesterday, but it was a week.
