RED January Day 18

It’s been a busy cold week so far – two treadmill runs – but I was determined to get outside for a run today.

Got out of work as soon as I could and managed to at least start the run in the light – head-torch was required towards the end.

4.2 miles around the village. Very cold and breezy. Day 18. Done.

RED January Day 16

Day 16…over halfway.

Busy evening tonight. It was straight in from work, jump on the treadmill, dinner and out for a Samaritans duty.

Treadmill: 3.4 miles at a nice gentle pace.

Today was rebranded by the Samaritans as ‘Brew Monday’ – encouraging people to check in with someone and have a chat.

Book 2 of 2023

‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho

My reading is slightly different this year, normally I’d just read a book a wanted to read. But this year I’ll be interspersing books I want to read with recommendations.

This was one of those recommendations.

I wouldn’t normally pick up a book like this. It’s described as a modern classic and is always in those lists of book you must read.

Apparently the story of Santiago, the shepherd boy, has inspired people all over the world to live their dreams.

Quick blog today I’ve got lots to do:

  • Follow your heart
  • Watch for omens
  • Chase your dreams
  • Fear is the obstacle
  • Live in the present
  • Always take action

Looks like it might be a busy day!

To summarise: wasn’t that impressed with it.
