Home

Júlia and I are married! That was probably self-evident from the fact I’ve been migrating (slowly) over to the new domain now that I have a new surname.

Things have been going well, albeit not really feeling too different. I keep using the wrong name for both myself and for J, I’m assuming that will self-correct in time, like when you write the previous year in all of your dates for the first part of January until it sinks in.

Running

I’m starting to get myself ready for a long year of running; Chicago marathon in October is the Big Goal. I’m not setting a target yet though; I’ve also signed up to run the Edinburgh marathon in May, so that performance will dictate my A/B/C goals for Chicago.

Charlie has also fully retired from Canicross now. We still occasionally run together, off-leash and at his pace, but he’s run his last race now (at the annual Cani-sports Edinburgh race at Whitekirk Hill). It was very emotional for me to accept that he is getting old; he’s still just my wee boy in my eyes.
