Sunday Morning Stuff 28/07

I nearly always end up writing about the weather in the introduction to these posts, I don’t know why. I don’t really need to write an introduction at all, I could just dive right in and talk about the week’s stuff, it’s all fairly self-explanatory. But there’s something off about that. I feel like we… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 28/07

Super Mario Maker 2

The reason why I wanted to give Super Mario Maker 2 a go is because of Super Mario Maker. Seems obvious, but I actually never played that first game. I can't even really say I'm that much of a Mario guy, I've missed most core iterations of the franchise. I liked Super Mario Maker without… Continue reading Super Mario Maker 2

A Morning Run, Keeping Consistent, and a Good Cause Coastal 10k.

The Break of Dawn I guess the idea behind doing a month of running everyday in July is that it should be nice and dry and there’ll be no excuses not to hit the road. And it has been dry.

But this time I’m actually here on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee pre-long run writing this out as I always intended, a little Orville Peck on in the background. Very chill indeed. So let’s get right into it and take a little look at all the… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 21/07

The Best Laid Plans, a Seriously Long Run, and an Early Morning Experience.

Planning Success. I’m not usually one for plans. Much of that attitude is due to the nature of my work – things change last minute, and I take on a lot of overtime, so planning too much means plans being ruined, too much. It’s disheartening, so why bother? As I continue to push forward with… Continue reading The Best Laid Plans, a Seriously Long Run, and an Early Morning Experience.

Hollow Knight

I already knew Hollow Knight was good, because I’ve already played it. In fact, I’d already rolled credits on it last year after a joyful playthrough on Nintendo Switch. But I did leave a lot on the table – many corners left unexplored, only one ending seen, terrifying bosses awaiting. Now that it has arrived… Continue reading Hollow Knight

Rowing to a PB, the Benefits of Big Tunes, and Secret Running.

Mixing It Up Throughout July I am running every day. Usually I stick to a six session a week schedule, doubling up once a week to give me two full rest days, but for three more weeks my recovery days are actually a-couple-of-easy-miles days. So far, it’s not been so tough, but because of the… Continue reading Rowing to a PB, the Benefits of Big Tunes, and Secret Running.
