Well, I completed my 10K run today for cancer research with my wife, Helen. It is the furthest I have ever ran and we did it in 1:07. I was hoping for a time under and hour but we were really held up over the first 3000 meters due to hilly sections and a very narrow path. There were 1200 people running and the hill was a bit of a bottleneck that we got stuck in.
I have loved having this as a goal and it felt great to do it. I will start to look for another physical challenge now.
So, here are some links for this week.
- My first link for this week is a great little link I found to the Ultimate Moleskine Resource via the Putting Things Off blog. Being a lover of Moleskines I found this to be a great link.
- My second link is an interview with Gina Trapani of LifeHacker where she shares some great productivity tips.
- My third link is Part 1 of the Getting Email done series from GTDTimes. Fits in pretty nicely with my own little series of email productivity lessons that I am going through right now.
- My fourth link another one on the topic of email. This is a report that likens checking email to gambling. Quite a good read and great for where I am at with my thoughts on email right now.
- My fifth and last link for this week is a link to a developer who has developed some great functionality for OmniFocus including the ability to clip URLs from Safari direct into your OmniFocus inbox.
Well, I am shot, and about to go to bed.
Speak to you all next week.
Thanks for the links–you’re saving me a lot of trouble by distilling these every week. But more importantly, congrats on your longest run to date!
Keep up with it, running really helps to reset yourself. If it weren’t for running, I don’t know how I’d get through work every day.
If you’re ever on the other side of the pond near DC, I’ll happily take you on some trails (though the grass isn’t quite as green!)
Cheers.

Thanks for the offer, may have to take you up on that. Just got out of bed and my knees are killing. I am walking like an old man :). Never had any problems with my knees but I guess I put them through it yesterday.
