Just for general wonderings…
Saturday morning is often parkrun for me. Today it was my local one: Beccles Quay.
Struggled a bit this morning, was going for a fast one, but legs couldn’t keep up. Official time: 22.46. It’s also not really a quick parkrun, very uneven terrain and a bit twisty. So I’m taking it!
The one hundredth day of the year. How did that happen!
My ‘books to read’ pile.
Shakespeare’s Globe.
Romeo & Juliet.
Our fourth theatre visit of the year.
This was a really good production of Romeo and Juliet. A modern adaptation, gang violence, knife crime, violence and BMXs – what’s not to like.
This goes straight in at number one in the theatre chart:
‘The Tao of Running’ by Gary Dudney
It’s a running book. Not a great running book.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, maybe an exploration into the mental side of what makes a good runner. I got that to a degree.
The book explores: mindfulness, staying positive, unleashing your inner trail monster, the wisdom of chilling out, the existential experience, finding your inner self, plus a load of other mental strategies. However, every chapter is a different 100 mile race the author ran – so it can all get a bit monotonous.
Some interesting little bits of advice, but overall, a book I probably wouldn’t recommend.
The Globe. Romeo & Juliet.
Last morning of the stay. Beach walk.
