I usually catch up on sleep on Saturdays, but today I had a mission: Park Run.
I slow cooked some porridge to fuel up for going out in the sub-freezing temps. Rebecca kindly drove me out to meet up with a few co-workers, we the joined a gaggle of about a hundred people and set out sports watches as the run began. Considering I haven't been out for a couple of months, and I haven't done a 5K in a fair old while, I surprised myself by finishing up in good time without feeling haggard afterwards. In fact, my whole group felt the same way: invigorated by the push out of our comfort zone to be better people. We took a plunge in the cold to meetup and we were all so glad we did.
Since getting into film watching I realize a big part of the hobby is chasing that feeling of finally stumbling onto something that connects with you on a deep and profound level. That's the high I yearn for but always find it increasingly hard to come by. After Life did wonders for me, one of those where I spent about half an hour after the credits to just enjoy the headspace the film left me in.
Only ten days into the year and I've already done a 5K and likely seen the best film I'll watch all year. Hell of a way to start 2026.
