I don't really have a solid idea of what I want to write today but want to get back into the habit of writing so I'm just going to list of some of the things I did this week, and maybe some thoughts will come out of it.
The first half of the week was mainly spent with work. Day shifts on Sunday and Monday, and night shifts on Tuesday and Wednesday. Nothing too impactful happened there, on Sunday I went the whole shift without any phone calls, which is a novelty.
Tuesday I had a PT session before my pre night shift nap. I was back with my usual trainer after having a few sessions with one of the other trainers over the Christmas/New Years period. I managed to do a bit better with my squats and bench press, and dead lifts I did a bit less weight for more reps than I had been doing. My left knee has been giving me a bit of trouble, so I've got some things to do to try and help that, but unfortunately some of those have triggered tightness in my calves/Achilles tendon which is the problem that got me going to the trainer in the first place a few years ago. More stretches and foam rolling is in order there.
Friday, while a day off, I went in to work. There's a new project that's just about completed and is going to be put into normal operation soon which means my department will be looking after it soon, so a few of us had a site visit to see how the site is set out and how it works so we'll know what to do if/when something goes wrong there. Turns out while it's being touted as a huge environmental asset, it's pretty much a normal wet weather pump station.
Saturday I started the day with a Parkrun. I got my first time under 35 minutes for about 4 months which I'm happy with. I'd like to get back down to the low thirties. I'm 11 runs away from my 50th run and I've got the idea that it would be nice to do a sub 30 for the milestone. The markets at New Farm are still closed, so I didn't get to have my usual bacon & egg roll from the German sausage stand.
Saturday evening I met someone for a first date. We went to a comedy show and then had dinner and a few drinks. I think it went well and I think I'll try to see her again, but there were a few awkward pauses and some differences of perspective (I view a relationship as an optional extra where I think she sees it as a need) and she was upfront I wasn't the only guy she was meeting that day.
