July's Journal
September's Journal

[17:15] A fair amount has happened since the middle-ish of July. Most of it was
work though, sadly. On that front there was a whole load of patching, some
creation of new servers for our online teaching, the rowing for this year (which
I chose not to do as I didn't want to tire myself out given my marathon training
for this year is going to be pretty hard, more on that in a bit), some trips in
to the office and both server rooms to install new disks in our SANs (and I'm
going to be doing that again this week, too), a weekend in Buxton with my whole
family (the first time we've all been together since Christmas two years ago),
and a whole lot of running. I've started a 'proper' marathon training plan for
the Yorkshire Marathon in October. Something like 12 weeks to change me from
someone who just about manages to do 50 mile ultra marathons at a moderately
good pace, into someone who can hopefully run a road marathon in as
close to three hours as is physically possible for me these days. We'll just
have to see what happens. Hopefully I've created a decent training plan that'll
do the job.
Still to come this month: a long weekend in Northumberland with Rel's family, a
running weekend doing 50 miles (over two days) on the Cotswold Way (overnighting
in Cheltenham) and then a few days in Cornwall, more time in server rooms, more
work, and hopefully more time with Rel.
I'll let you know how things go the next time I get the inclination to do an
update.
