I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I will add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.
Week 31/52: Mick Jagger – Strange Game
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.
After a little over 36-hours in Milan I’m already on my way to Germany this morning. I had a great day with our team in Italy yesterday and enjoyed our visit to the ‘Last Supper’ and the Duomo last night.
I’m flying out to Milan this Monday evening for four days of European travel with my team from the US, who came over this week. I will be in our Milan office on Tuesday, in our German office on Wednesday, and on Thursday, in our UK office.
It’s going to be a busy and fun week, again.
Here is my thingsThisWeek #016. It’s a short one, enjoy the read. Previous thingsThisWeek’s can be found here.
Week 6 was a good week for running. I slowed down on my longer and recovery runs and intensified my training during my two interval/speed runs. I covered a total distance of almost 28 kilometers this week, more than double that of last week.
