My apologies for the lack of updates of late - I’ve quite simply been swamped, mostly to do with things regarding my new job. Setting up a new laptop, installing, configuring and learning new software, writing reports, business meetings, accountant meetings, etc etc, blah blah blah, and so on.

Day 130 Don’t worry, though - I’ve still been running every day. I just haven’t been blogging every day. I’ll be aiming to rectify that as soon as I get more settled. Right now, I’m finding myself somewhere between excitement and uncertainty over my new career venture, as there are still a few wrinkles there (some of them more like Grand Canyons) that need to be ironed out.

I’ve still been keeping my runs in the 20-30 minute window. Partly because of time restraints, partly because the weather has been, for the most part, really, really hideous in the UK of late, and partly because I’m still not ‘there’ mentally yet. Back there, that is. My motivation is better than it was 10 days ago, say - although when it was pouring with rain constantly last week I did struggle - but still a long way short of where it was in the middle of the summer. I’m confident it will eventually return, although I must admit that I’m not looking forward to taking on the winter weather. Unless it’s very mild - and my gut feeling says we have 3-4 months of wind and rain on the cards, so that seems unlikely - there’s a good chance I’ll end up doing a high percentage of my winter workouts on a treadmill.

Anyway, here are my splits for the past seven days:
