This is my third run of the week. I again increased my recovery pace and distance to understand how my legs and muscle injury are feeling now. From what I can say now, things are going better slowly.
52 Weeks – Week 38
I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.
Week 38/52: Messy – Lola Young
After 52 weeks, I will have recorded all the seasons, holidays, and high and low weeks of the year (from October 2024 to September 2025) in one self-curated playlist on Apple Music. Don’t use Apple Music? Subscribe to weekly updates via RSS.

My running isn’t working out at the moment. My legs still feel sluggish, and I’m unable to get any proper pace in them, and on top of it all, my body metrics are off, too. It’s a bit frustrating as I have no clue what the root cause of this situation is. It’s as if I need to start from the ground up after not having run for an extended period, which isn’t the case.
Anyhow, for now, I will continue to plan for short 30-minute runs with at least one or two days of rest in between. Hopefully, I will see myself improve again over the next two to three weeks.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
I took my kids to the IMAX cinema in Rotterdam this afternoon to watch the latest Mission Impossible movie. It was a fun movie to watch, probably the last Mission Impossible Tom Cruise will make, but you never know. Fun fact: when the first film arrived, I was in my first year of being a student.
Clarkson’s Farm – Season 1
I started watching season 1 of Clarkson’s Farm after receiving the tip from a colleague. This was the same colleague who had advised me on Slow Horses. Since I like the British humor in Slow Horses a lot, I’m giving Jeremy Clarkson another try after all those years of Top Gear.
