Halfway Through
Halfway through my dissertation now! I’m at the point of getting results and starting to draw some graphs on my first experiments. Still feeling pretty good about my progress, but I’m definitely anxious to get all of the experimental runs going in the next week so I can iron out issues in plenty of time, and really get going with the analysis.
I’ve been running more, did my first Sunday long run today. I’m going to try and get into the habit of 2-3 short runs and one long a week. Would be nice to build up to a half marathon, or just longer runs in general. Always feel good after getting back, so it’s definitely something to keep up with. I’ve never really been a runner, or in the habit of any regular exercise previously so this is a good development for me.
