Summer is a memory, the leaves are falling and it’s time for quarter notes number 3 of the year. So what have I been up to?
- First up in this quarter was Henley Regatta. I went on both the Friday and the Sunday this year, catching up with a friend from New Zealand and various army rowing connections.  The weather was excellent, the rowing was great and a really good time was had.Â
- An actual social event with friends! It was a supposed to be a follow up to the earlier walk around Richmond, but with a BBQ at Juliet’s house instead of a pub lunch. But this time, the others declined to do the walking bit, so I got my training in around Box Hill before joining them for wine and grilled stuff.
- Quite a few training and running events this quarter. There was a 5k around the Olympic park, a couple of half marathons, an ultra, another 25 walk. There were 3 days along the North Downs Way and plenty of trips to Box Hill.  It is all adding up. I also had another trip to Chamonix, for an ultra running and yoga retreat.Â
- I had a follow-up MRI scan for the research group I’m part of. They’d not found any “sinister†issues in the first scan (and that is a terrible word to use in a report!). There will be second follow-up n 6 months time
