My Day in Three for today:

1. I started at the gym today at 7 AM and plan to go again tomorrow, given a busy week ahead. I combined 20 minutes of cycling, 15 minutes of core strength training, and 10 minutes of running.
2. I enjoyed catching up over lunch with Thijs (👋🏻), where we discussed product, strategy, AI, and running.
3. I worked late into the CET evening with my team in the US and am now logging off to give my mind some well-deserved rest.

My Day in Three for today:

1. 1. This 35-minute recovery run was my first outdoor run after two weeks of treadmill training. Mentally, it didn’t go as well as I hoped. Moving on to the next week, my goal is to continue balancing strength training at the gym with one or two recovery runs outside.
   2. I did my annual taxes today and admin today.
   3. I didn’t mind not watching the F1 race in Japan later in the day. While the circuit is exciting to watch, I don’t like the new racing rules at all, and they’re taking away my enjoyment of the sport. I’m hoping for better times after the April break since the races in the Middle East have been canceled.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I completed a more intense training in the gym this morning. My body, especially my injured leg, seems to hold well, which is good. If the weather is good tomorrow morning, I will go for a slow, longer run outside.
2. My son will be turning 18 in a little over two weeks from today. As both kids, my wife and I went out this afternoon to buy (and hide) his birthday gift.
3. We had some sunshine late afternoon in the garden. I went outside to work a little in the garden and to put up the lights around our terrace before the trees start growing again.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I enjoyed reading this article by Reuters on the identity of British street artist Banksy. Banksy’s identity has been debated and closely guarded for decades. A quest to solve the riddle took Reuters from a bombed-out Ukrainian village to London and downtown Manhattan, and uncovered much more than a name.
2. I spent some time today organizing my work for April. I have some busy weeks ahead of me.
3. The kids are out tonight to meet up with their friends. This is a new thing for us: my wife and I are together on Friday night, and we only hear what they’ve been up to halfway through Saturday morning. It’s great to see them become young adults, and I can definitely get used to this phase in life.

My Day in Three for today:

1. I exercised at the gym this morning before going to work. The treadmill was already occupied, so unfortunately, no running for me today. I’m starting to get into a new rhythm with this whole gym routine, but I don’t think I’ll ever really like it.
2. I had a forward-looking career discussion with a team member today. We went outside for a walk, which always helps shift the conversation into a different mindset.
3. I received a voucher for another year of full access to the New York Times through my Dutch newspaper subscription. Awesome! Supporting journalism is important to me; we’ve had a newspaper in our household for as long as we’ve been able to afford one.
