My new Torin Plush shoes arrived, so I thought I’d break them in straight away. Strange to have painful soles in places with more or less the same shoe I’m used to, but they seem pretty good!

I’ve stopped running with the voice navigation app I used early on so just pointed myself towards Battersea and tried to cut around some hills. Seemed to work okay except for a couple of stops. At one point I bumped into one of my kids’ teachers for a chat. Positive to hear the school is doing everything it can to make for a safe return if it happens.

Podcast - I think I’ve more or less finished 1800 Seconds on Autism now. Some fascinating stories from a man who was diagnosed in his sixties!

Music - Caribou has a great 1 hour residency set on Radio 1.

That’s week 18, HM 18

Donate to my charity

I'm running the London Marathon – it would be awesome if you would sponsor me to raise funds for the National Autistic Society.
