Thankful that my flight this morning got in earlier than I expected and home before I was thinking. I took that extra time to get a run in as I had pushed my meetings back and got some work done on the plane. Felt good to get moving after an early morning and lots of sitting.

Sparse trees with bare branches framed against a cloudy sky, with dry brush and grass in the foreground and a glimpse of water in the background.

After a late night of traveling and no real plans for the day until tonight, I was still up early and of course I had packed my running gear. So with no real idea where to run so I just started from the hotel and actually found an area in some houses interesting to explore. A scenic view of a suburban area with a dry creek bed in the foreground. The creek is surrounded by grassy lawns, small trees, and residential houses with brick and stone exteriors under a clear blue sky.

Of course this last minute purchased flight to Texas last week has me on a really delayed flight. However, I appreciate the updates all day Flighty.

Flight F93223 from MSP to DFW, scheduled for 10:55 PM, is delayed by 2 hours and 13 minutes, now arriving at 1:37 AM.

Fun watching this girls first day of track this year due to swim conflicts. She got 5th in the 400nand was super happy with that. She said for her 100 she thought they were still warming up so she wants a redo as she just jogged it. πŸ˜…

A person in a red shirt runs on a track next to a grassy field with hurdles. The day is clear and sunny, with bare trees in the background.

This run felt harder than I think it should have but even at the start my legs were tired so not surprised that last mile was real work. Other than that it was nice outside and I took a few new paths to pass the time.

A field of tall, dry grass under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds. A body of water and distant tree line are visible in the background.

This could get dangerously unhealthy for me now that I have found a good use for my families Ninja CREAMi. I will say the Oreo Ice Cream combination is delicious and really tastes like a blizzard. πŸ¦πŸ˜‹

A container of New York vanilla ice cream and a pack of Double Stuf Oreos are on a countertop. A hand holds a spoon in a cup of what appears to be Oreo crumble mixed with ice cream.

The track meet for my daughter might have been canceled due to weather but I decided to give it a go. Didn’t get to rained on and only a little lightening and thunder but I was able to fishing before it really started pouring.

πŸ‘‹ Hi my name is Darby and I am a Turtle… 🐒 🐢

A fluffy black dog with a slight curl to its fur is lying down on polished wooden flooring, looking directly at the camera with a calm expression.

Happy Birthday to my amazing Wife who keeps it all together! Not to mention puts up with me and my craziness of running.

A person smiling at a table with a birthday cake in front of them. The cake is decorated with colorful sprinkles and has “April 24th” written on top. The room is warmly lit with a sofa, dining table, and large windows in the background. Look close at the cake and you will see our kids are so nice thinking we just freeze at age 29. πŸ˜†

Found time today to get out for a run which I was very thankful for but my whole body felt tired. Might have been due to a little lack of sleep and stuff at work or might have just been a little warmer than the past two days. Either way now I am glad to have gotten out to enjoy the weather.

Calm lake with a reflective surface, surrounded by bare trees under a cloudy sky.

Work on some more additions to the already great Micro.publish and decided to add a toggle now for my note renaming (original plan) and then after getting images yesterday decided to figure out how to get GPT alt text support so I could elimiate an extra step I currently do today to post. Settings interface showing three options: “Delete images after upload,” “Rename note after publishing,” and “ChatGPT API Key (for alt text)” with toggles, two of which are activated.

I continued down a rabbit hole last night to see if I could get image uploads as part of the Micro.Publish plugin (created by OtΓ‘vio). I have it now where there is a toggle to delete after upload and or keep with the local vault. Now what is next… πŸ˜ƒ

I was hoping to have more time to get out for this run today but meetings ran long and I only had a small window. Might be for the better as it was super windy out.

A small, narrow stream surrounded by leafless trees and dry vegetation. The ground is covered with brown leaves, and there is a metal grate partially submerged in the water. In the background, a house with a dark roof is visible through the trees. The sky is overcast, casting a muted light over the scene.

Wasn’t planning on going for a run tonight but it was great to convince my running friend to get out with me tonight. Honestly, that was the best part as it has been a while since we last ran so as I told him whatever the millage was going to be I was good with it.

A straight, narrow railway track stretches into the distance, bordered by leafless trees on both sides. The ground is covered with gravel, and fallen branches lie scattered along the track. The scene has an overcast, wintery feel, with a grey sky overhead and sparse vegetation.

Friday long run today! Was glad to get to this distance and feeling pretty good during and after it since the past couple of weeks have been lower millage with vacation. Now I can take it easy this weekend and not worry about trying to get a long run in.

A tranquil lake scene on a cloudy day, with bare trees lining the shore and their reflections visible on the calm water. The overcast sky creates a muted atmosphere, while patches of reeds and grasses grow near the water’s edge.

I had an idea yesterday that I might have tried to squeeze in a longer run today but I worried I hadn’t rested enough so I decided to just go out for a short run today in between some meetings. I actually felt pretty good and the weather was nice and cool. I might regret not extending this run but glad to get a run in.

A sparse, early spring landscape featuring a mix of leafless and willow trees with yellowish branches. The foreground has dry, brown grass and scattered small shrubs. A small pond is visible in the mid-ground, reflecting the overcast sky. The background shows a distant tree line under thick, gray clouds, creating a calm and subdued atmosphere.

Got home late yesterday from vacation and decided that today with a lot of errands to do in getting back into the swing of things I decided to shake of the cobwebs from travel yesterday and get a short run in.

Went golfing this morning at the Catalonia Caribe Golf Club, Punta Cana. Over the years I don’t really play much golf anymore but my son really wanted to play so we got up early to do 18 with some others and a golf pro.

Decided to get up early to catch the sunrise and have a slow run around the resort. I think I have now traversed across the entire place.

Sun setting over the ocean with a sandy beach in the foreground. The sky transitions from a bright yellow near the horizon to deep blue above, with a few scattered clouds. The water reflects the warm colors of the sunset.
