Kerry went for a bike ride.

Chippy chips! The dog seems quite keen too!

Dark run when I got in from work. Also, first run in the new trainers. Altra Escalante 4. Zero drop, roomy toe box.

A pretty regular loop of the village.

Kerry did her regular pilates session.

The mother of one of my year 7 students sent me this graphic novel. Apparently she’s in publishing and it came out today.

Such a lovely thought.

One week in already and it was the first after school swim of the year.

We’re very lucky to have our own swimming pool at school, so every Wednesday I have the opportunity to try to improve my swimming.

I really struggle swimming, there is so much to think about: hand positions, kicking, gliding, pull, hand entry, and this is all whilst trying to breath.

30 mins. Done.

Kerry was on the treadmill.
