The run I just ran is hugely disappointing. My knees are hurting and my legs are tired. It looks like my condition is deteriorating. No matter which direction I ran, I had a strong headwind. So I am glad that despite the tired legs, I can cool down quietly. When I want to close the running lap in my running app, I am startled by a huge unfamiliar sound. It takes a while before I realise what that sound is, but when I awake, it turns out to be my alarm clock.

Lovely. Monday morning and I wake up exhausted. A good start to the new week, and of course I write that sarcastically. Things can only get better now. I think. But the Universe knows otherwise. Later, when I travel to work by train, the driver forgets to stop at the station where I’m supposed to get on the metro. With a diversion and delay of almost half an hour, I arrive at work. Sometimes you just have to love your life.
