And two new bookshelf additions: “Our Moon” and “Bullsh*t Jobs”
16th of October, 2024
Moinsen, everyone! 👋
I just yesterday arrived back from Chicago, where I successfully ran my fifth of the six World Marathon Majors. It was incredible and I loved every second of the race. The blog post about it is in the early stages and will appear within the next week or so.
But first I have some other overdue topics to share!
On September 26th, I reached 1,000 Days of Streak Running!
Not a single day was skipped since January 1st of 2022. I celebrated with a short run with some friends in the rain, and since published a blog post about it, detailing the 2.75 year long journey and all the quirks and anecdotes which happened along the way when you go running on every single day no matter what.
The other big thing that’s been going on in my life on every day for more than a year now has been our family-internal switch of jobs. I sold the remaining two companies at the end of 2023, left my position as CEO and all my co-workers, and my wife Sophie has doubled her working hours in early 2024, effectively making me a full-time dad of our four kids.
During the time I had many occasions which made me contemplate the nature of this set-up and have now put my thoughts into a blog post.
The post was on my mind for a few months now, but what pulled the trigger for me to sit down to put my thoughts into writing was reading the book “Bullsh*t Jobs” by anthropologist David Graeber. It has been enlightening, to say the least.
And since the last newsletter reached you I have also finished reading a second book and put my thoughts into the bookshelf section of the website. It’s a book about our history with our companion in the sky, the Moon. And it was wonderful and enlightening, too, no pun intended.
The two new posts and the two new bookshelf pages are also available as podcasts, as always. Just take a look in your podcast player and subscribe, or listen to them directly on the website if you prefer.
That’s this month’s newsletter, I will be back with a big post about the amazing event that was Chicago Marathon in the next one!
All the best to you and have a great day,
