The worst thing about Zohran Mamdani is that he's a month younger than I am.

If the Switch 2 is out already then zero.

Even from a cynical economist standpoint, as long as they buy SOMETHING the money grows the economy. The store gets money, the store pays staff who gets money, who buy more stuff. Government spending that causes more spending is just free money. Everyone should want it!

I will also say my appetite is now larger than my stomach. After a week of eating absolutely everything in sight without issue, I am starting to feel full mid second-helpings. I will have to scale back a little.

An incremental return to normal is probably good for me as the final week before I return to work.

I'm still getting random waves of feeling completely exhausted, but mixed in are moments of feeling pretty great. My legs hurt in new ways but I'm getting back to walking fairly well! Soon I'll be recovered enough to get a massage. Then it'll be recovered enough to do a couple easy runs!

Renting a living room as a bedroom was how I moved to London. I lived like that for like six years? And we did NOT have a "decent sized kitchen." In our kitchen you could either close the door or you could sit at the table, not both.

According to my Coros app I am now 100% recovered. Someone please tell that to my legs.

This is to say, I am back in the UK!

Always the first person through passport control but my luggage always takes forever to be unloaded. I am sure the 'priority' labels mean nothing.

My friends are sick of me asking when Lily Allen records will be available on vinyl again. Hopefully the new album will mean reprints??

Jamie @drinkcoffeerun.bsky.social · 5d

I think I'm recovering from the 60km Saturday, by which I mean my legs now hurt in a different way to how they've been hurting so far this week.

If you want to feel "whole, safe, and loved" but don't want to put in any work building human connections, at least "The Secret" won't inevitably crash the S&P500.

The thing is I just don't believe these people. When they say "I've never felt this loved and supported before" I'm just like, no, that can't be true. You have to be lying to yourself. It doesn't make any sense.

Haha, amazing! I will give it a little bit longer than a few weeks... But mostly because the past two months of travel have wiped out my bank balance, so I will be living it very humble until Christmas, I think.

I am looking forward to running with no upcoming race. I'm looking forward to going back to the gym. I am looking forward to slow improvements. I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and cooking my own food. The sabbatical has been great, but my everyday life is calling me back.

Already I'm looking at ultras for next year. I can't currently walk. What is my mindset.

Jamie @drinkcoffeerun.bsky.social · 8d

I'm really hoping I sleep a lot tonight. It's been a rough couple days on the sleep front. My body needs the recovery time!

Two day ultra events are wild. It hasn't really sunk in that I ran for 21.5 hours this weekend.

My legs hurt so much when I walk that I've not really noticed that my big toes are both super swollen. I am definitely losing those toenails. Ah well.

Jamie @drinkcoffeerun.bsky.social · 9d

Day 2 is also done! A shorter loop as my legs are still struggling (seems like IT band issues) so I can barely walk at the moment. Knocked out the slowest 15km of all time, to bring the weekend to 75km!

They read too much news. British newspapers are basically a poison that degrades a person's moral compass.

Started off super strong. Smashed out the first half, then an absolutely awful technical up and downhill section between 30k and 44k. My hip went and I had to shuffle-stimble my way in. But, we're done with day 1! I have ran across Ibiza!
