A month of races

According to Strava, September has been my most active month yet, with 321 kilometres of running and 2,281 metres of elevation gain. With that behind me, it feels good to have forty days of calm training ahead before my next big race in Beirut.

Today, my long-term co-author Jon asked whether I wanted to write a piece with him on the ethics of aviation. The topic certainly interests me, but I know I make a terrible co-author these days – caught somewhere between being a parent and running around like a bunny. Still, by not writing, I cannot quite shake the feeling that the field is left open to those who see only one side of the story, failing to recognise how crucial aviation is for sustaining cosmopolitan values and physically bringing the world together.

For now, I make a butternut squash soup and wait for the forecasted 25 millimetres of rain to begin falling.
