It was a day when I wasn't fully signed on at work, so I didn't set an alarm and so naturally work up at 9.22am...only Alan also hadn't set an alarm and so had to leap out of bed and get logged on for work.
I sorted a few emails for work, arranged to pay my service charge for my flat and arranged a meeting with a client for 11am on MS Teams.
I had crumpets for breakfast and made some for Alan and used the coffee flavoured spread on two and meant to do a plain buttered one for Alan, but accidentally put marmite on it and so then made him an extra plain one and I had 3 crumpets for breakfast. I took the compost out and picked some raspberries for a snack.
I then had my client meeting which was useful and got into my running kit.
I decided to go for a 19KM run as my run club has been doing a run challenge to run or walk 19KM in 19 days in June, but I knew that I'm not having trouble getting out and doing some running, but that I am having a bit of a challenge doing longer distances so it seemed like the perfect challenge as why else would you choose a random figure of 19KM.
I had been planning to go for a walk with my friends son afterwards, but the timings unfortunately didn't line up.
I ran to Fairburn Ings again and this time further along around the first lake that I got to and then towards Castleford following the river, I was going to take a peak at the Kingfisher hide, but it was just a bit too busy so I went back to a less popular route. At 9.5K I looked around and took a little video and then ran back. I didn't pause my watch to get an accurate time (although I did for 10 seconds when I got confused and saw a frog!) and it took me around 1 hour 57 to do the 19KM. I took my camelbak with some shotbloks and had about 3 to keep me going. I listened to the end of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck as well as a bit of the High Low Podcast.
I then had a quick bath and had some lunch - jacket potato with marmite, butter and cheese.
I then went upstairs for a nap and snoozed whilst the Daily Briefing was on. Then my brother gave me a call because it was my second oldest Niece's birthday - she is 4. She seemed to like the colouring and drawing books that I'd got for her and also showed me a few other things. I got to see all 4 of my nieces and nephews, it was a busy video chat! My brother is convinced he had Coronavirus back in March and said that he was less worried about the two oldest going back to school because of this, but he does work in the NHS so it must be a strange time for him. Alan was on Zwift whilst I was chatting away.
Alan had a pop up green screen delivered that he'd put up and was struggling to put down back into the container, he didn't appreciate me laughing, but it wasn't what I had expected to see when I'd come downstairs.
I then made dinner - pork and chorizo stew with Ciabatta and logged on for a zoom call with my friends Hayley and Sam and we had a good catch up for 2 hours and then I came downstairs and prepped some strawberries and had strawberries and cream and Alan made banana bread which I had a couple of warm slices of with butter.
We watched a couple of episodes of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and then I watched some Catfish.
