Let's see what this is going to be
Forced myself out of bed early today to get these miles in before work. It was actually pretty warm out but thankfully the sun was not shining down on me. For about 4 of the miles I was on a call with my wife and youngest daughter in Iowa so that helped pass the time. Overall, not feeling bad now that it is done but my legs were tired in fact I think they started tired. 🤣
Glow shoes… I mean how fun is that! I guess I need to run at night more.
I was hoping to get out a little bit earlier but my son was running a little bit late to work today and I wanted to make sure he got out of the house on time. However, I still was able to get this run in before the day really got busy with work.
Another day another run . Decided to meander though the trails north of my house where the grass is really getting tall this morning as I had a little bit of time before some earlier calls. Into the weeds
Had to drop a vehicle off for an oil change today so I figured I would run home from there. Even though it was getting pretty warm out overall I was feeling good and then I got to a point that I figured I needed to just get to a 10k before I stopped.
Got up early today to see the oldest head out to work. Guess a good thing about him working early it helps me get up earlier on the weekend to get a longer run in before the rest of the family wakes up. Felt good out today and got another longest of the year.
I just plodded along to do this short run this morning after my oldest daughter went off to hockey practice. Another family took her so I was on pickup duty so I had a little more than 30 min to get this done. Which was enough time to do that and shower. Lack of sleep probably made this a worse run but also it was very humid out this morning even though it had been nice the last couple of days.
We finished Kracken the Case Escape Room tonight with almost 12 minutes to spare. It was a fun time with 4/5 of the family able to be in attendance. 📌 Zero Hour Escape Rooms
Legs were tired today but wanted to get a run in early before work. Not to mention the was so nice out that I had to take advantage of it.
After a long day of working this run felt like more work than necessary. Not sure what but I swallowed along the road but had to stop and try to cough it up. After that I was ready to be done but kept with my loose plan.
Since my wife and oldest work up early to go golfing I decided I would get up at the same time and get a run in before work today. Yesterday, was a long day not getting back home from the swim meet until 11pm so it was a little rough start to this run.
Decided to get a long run in this morning and was really pushing my time as I got a little mixed up on the turn to take at the furthest point from my house. I felt good and maybe would have added another mile but by the time I got near my house it was almost time for me to watch our youngest swim on the livestream. It was humid out, but thankfully there was a breeze as well to make it slightly…
Got up earlier today to get a run in hoping that my leg was feeling better and thankfully it was. Got just a handful of miles in before a busy morning of work then headed to Rochester for a swim meet.
After the activities tonight I wanted a cookie that we had sitting around and ice cream so… I decided to make an Ice Cream Sandwich for my youngest and me 🍪🍦🤷♂️ Another one of my weakness… Ice Cream Sandwiches
Not sure what was up but my leg was really hurting tonight for the first 400m and I wasn’t sure I was going to finish even this short run . I probably should have just stopped and rested but I didn’t I pushed on and used the little time I had between picking kids up tonight. I guess in the end it seems to have loosened my leg up but no idea why there was so much pain. 😬🫣
Much cooler out this morning than the past couple of days so I used the time I had to get a good run in. I guess it was as "good" as I could make it as I felt tired but kept pushing along. Was going to run some more in the trails to the north of me but the long grass covering the trail was really wet and I decided to chose another path when I could. There really is a trail in there.. In fact it is…
This is a great video that Brendan Leonard published on " Why We Put In The Miles ". I think it really resonates to me not only as a runner but everything he says I can just relate to. Not to mention I have that exact quoted sticker (that I got from him) sitting on my desk and was reminded that I wrote it down once as well on my yearly birthday post .
The air was thick today and in reality I should have probably waited till later today but I had things to do so this was my only time to get a run in. Even at this time of day (6:25 AM) the temp was 79ºF with a feels like 84ºF or as the dewme app said.. stifling 🤢
I think this is the longest run I have had this year which sounds kind of shocking as we are almost in August. The plan was just to hit double digits again as has been the goal for every week but I was feeling pretty good and the temps / humidity wasn't as bad as it had been so I extended my run as it started to get dark out.
Backing Up My Bunny Storage with Rclone Not sure why it finally dawned on me, but I realized after having moved all of my website photos to Bunny.net and updating pages to point there, I wasn't backing up any of them. Don't get me wrong, Bunny is solid, but now that I know what I know, I don't want my only copy of my sites media living on someone else's infrastructure. If I fat finger something in…
Again the weather was so nice today and even though I was feeling pretty tired I got out there for a run . I decided to do a short one though some trails to the North of my house. Such a beautiful morning out. Running along my favorite boardwalk path with an ominous sky as the backdrop.
Couldn't pass up this cooler weather today so I decided to make it a longer than originally planned run and I had the time to do it as well. Look close at the picture and you will see something looking back at me in the tall grass.
Well not that I am a calorie counter but this math ain’t mathing… 0 calories per serving x 2.5 servings = 10 calories total 🫠 Oh right the FDA rules “allow rounding to the nearest 5 increment but fewer than 5 calories per serving may be declared as 0.” Why can’t they round like normal people where 4 should round up to 5 not 0.
I thought getting out earlier today was the right approach for a run but I didn't get out as "early" as I would have liked. Some of it was just being tired from the weekend and I was thinking the Air Quality might not have been as good so let myself "sleep in" some. However, once getting up and then doing a little work I decided to get out there only to then find the sun was fully shining and the…
I had a “plan” but there was a quick change in where I was going to start from and then for me the heat derailed it but I keep pushing through to get to the minimum of what I wanted. I think today thought wasn’t the plan told me I can keep doing things even when things go off the rails and can figure out how to “finish” the task at hand. I misjudged the heat because the route I took was never in…
