1/2 Another run done today. Slightly quicker than last run, about the same distance. But a good way to end the first week of prep for my 10 K run at the Marathon The Hague. I'm fundraising for the fight against cancer during this preparation. Join me in that fight here:

"I am going write-only on social media for a bit." That's not social, that is broadcasting. We did that before. What's the point of social, when you're not open to engagement? Cross-posted with Arke
