How was your week? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

I'll try and make this a weekly feature.

It's been fine! Enjoying the sunny weather, that always improves my mood.

I work from home normally but went into the office in Manchester so our team could meet a new starter, had a decent lunch and beer paid for by work, sitting out in the sun, so can't complain!

I've started running again after a 3 week break due to an op, and it's felt like I've not run in about a year, it's quite disheartening. Just doing a slow, level 5k brings my heart rate up to levels I wouldn't see unless I was going hard up a big hill. I was aiming to be hitting 21k soon but just 5k feels like effort. I'll persevere though, hopefully I'll be back to where I was after a few more runs.

Cut the grass today, spent some time at the park with my daughter and watched the Japanese F1 GP.

I'm definitely glad we have sunnier weather now, and yeah I think it improves my mood as well.

I didn't watch the F1 but I saw the result. If Norris had been on pole I might have watched it. I just hope somebody new wins the championship this year.

In regards to the F1:

spoilerIt was an incredibly boring race. Literally nothing happened. The top 10 stayed in the same order, except for Hamilton and Hadjar swapping around. They showed the highlights in the cool down room and Piastri was like "that was it?"

I think one of the McLaren drivers have a good chance to win. Even though Max won yesterday, it felt more like an exception and the low deg of the new surface helped Max to maintain his lead.

Yeah that's pretty much what I read about the race. Hopefully Norris or Piastri can win the championship this year. I'd also be happy if Russell won it although that's probably not likely.
