Annual goals

After a long day of thesis supervision, I passed by Nordic Wellness on Kyrkogatan where I finally completed my annual rowing goal. Having decided to cut short my volume targets for both running and swimming this year, I am at least happy that this is one goal I have managed to meet. As for the running, I am now aiming for 3,500 kilometres rather than my original 3,650. With 21 days and 160 kilometres left, this should not pose a problem - as long as I do not get sick or anything.

Instead of pushing Strava to its limits, I have been focusing more on my academic work and, this morning, I submitted yet another manuscript for review. Following the remarkably swift publication of my aviation paper, I feel like I am in a creative streak, one I intend to make the most of while it lasts, knowing there will surely come other days when writing will not feel as easy. For tonight, however, I am just pouring up a glass of Sicilian red wine over a Walt Whitman classic.
