I started to work on a "top 10 videos of 2021" video for my YouTube channel, so decided it would be fun to have a look at the top 10 posts on this blog. Only it's a personal blog, with no plugins, so not so easy to see the most viewed posts from just 2021. … Continue reading 10 Most Viewed Posts in 2021

Clearly wrapping up 2021

Warmer temps earlier in the week degrading into a day of Wintry mix (the worst!) yesterday. Not a running day for me, but I did have to go out to get my booster. Thankfully it was warm enough so that the roads were fine, although that Wintry mix continued to fall as the sun and … Continue reading Got Boosted: 12/13 – 19 WRD
