I seem to have fallen into the habit of posting only every third day, at which I am dissatisfied; I will have to try harder to post daily. At least I haven’t omitted anything urgently vital.
I have run for the past three mornings, in drizzle, light rain, and very light rain respectively. My pace hasn’t been anything to boast about. That can be attributed in part to wanting to avoid slipping, and in part to that heavy-leg feeling, and partly to sheer indolence. On the other hand, my paces weren’t as bad as all that, and at least I kept going despite my disinclination.
I’ve kept busy with pastoralia and some academic writing. I got to the end of the first draft of my interdisciplinarity essay, and will send that off tomorrow, I expect. It wants editing to accommodate the stipulated style sheet, and there are three or four references that I want to work in (OK, I just thought of another, so five), but the core of the argument is laid out there. It’s a huge relief, and I’m hoping to nail the second overdue essay by year’s end, so that I can lean into the hermeneutics book.
