Today I discovered, (in line with previous expectations) far too late to do anything about it, that the battery on my Garmin was flat, despite having plugged it into the charger overnight. Nothing I tried[…]

Balls
This evening I took my exercise ball home from the office. This was a source of great joy to La Serpiente, riding behind me in her stroller. “Up” she would say, and I would raise[…]
Early to bed and early to strides
Because La Serpiente isn’t at school this week, she’s been having her naps much earlier in the day, which means by the time I get home she’s reaching the end of her limit and begins[…]

Up and down and up and down again
Last night I had a long, slow run where I ran up Mount Faber and then down the other side, and then slowly jogged home. Tonight was a hill session, which should have been a[…]
