Running

    With a day off of work today I couldn’t think of a better way to recharge than getting some trail miles in at a place I don’t visit often enough. The weather was perfect out today.

    A dirt path covered in fallen leaves winds through a dense forest, bordered by trees with green and orange foliage, under a clear blue sky.

    Sun shines over a tranquil lake, reflecting light on the water. Bare branches and tall grasses frame the scene, with woods in the distance under a clear blue sky.

    A field of tall, dry grass stretches towards a line of trees under a clear blue sky.

    A floating boardwalk stretches through a tranquil wetland with reeds and leafless trees under a clear blue sky.

    Decided to get some miles in this weekend as today was not as early as yesterday or tomorrow will be. I probably should have headed out earlier to get a longer run in but this felt good, was comfortable, and glad to be on trails more than streets.

    Wooden boardwalk stretches through an open field of dry grass, bordered by sparse trees, under a cloudy, overcast sky.

    Fitting run today with the fog pretty dense this morning and the trail I was on had lots of obstacles ahead.

    A narrow dirt path weaves through dense, overgrown vegetation in a forest, with arching branches forming a natural tunnel overhead. Fallen leaves scatter the ground, enhancing the secluded atmosphere.

    I was asked if I could go pickup another new “I Voted” sticker as my wife lost the one she has when we voted early. I figured it seemed like a good excuse to get a run in and complete a task so that is what I did and the nice lady there gave me 4 stickers.

    Got outside for this run mostly in the middle of the rain fall. Decided to find trails and just enjoy being out there as the time change gave me some more time this morning before other activities started this afternoon.

    Needed to get my wife’s vehicle in for an oil change so I dropped the car off and decided to run home. It wasn’t too bad out, might have overdressed but the fresh air helped clear the head today.

    Railroad tracks stretch into the distance, lined with sparse, snow-dusted trees and undergrowth. Overhead, a partly cloudy sky fills the backdrop, creating a serene, rural scene.

    Had the trails to myself on a Halloween Snow day run! 🎃☃️🏃‍♂️

    Decided to hit the trails which was fun but really was slipping and sliding along so no rush today just having fun.

    A little later start because my youngest missed the bus. So maybe this run could have been longer in my ramblings of the streets and trails but honestly my legs were feeling it and I was feeling it. The hour before I thought I felt great but it just went down hill. I guess Sunday caught up to me.

    Dirt path winds through leafless trees, some with remaining yellow leaves, under an overcast sky, beside a partially visible river in a tranquil, wooded area.

    Had a small window to get out and run today and I got it done. I didn’t feel to worse for the wear today after the hills yesterday but it was warmer than I expected.

    A wooden bridge is covered with fallen leaves, stretching across a forest path. Surrounding trees with bare and leafy branches create a serene, natural setting.

    Hills and trails today. More up and down than I am used to but it was fun exploring the random trails of Hyland.

    Wooden steps ascend through a dense forest, surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the earthy path covered with fallen leaves.

    Grassy hillside overlooks a valley with scattered trees, buildings, and a parking lot. Ski lift chairs are stationary, indicating a recreational area. Blue sky with light clouds provides a serene backdrop.

    Buildings sit near a calm lake, surrounded by a forest of colorful autumn trees. Grass covers the foreground, while city structures are faintly visible on the horizon.

    I had no plan more than I just wanted to get outside and moving  today. As for the actual run it was good but nothing fancy with some great scenery… The overall goal was to keep moving today in the wall of leaves. 🍂

    This felt good to get out for a run today. The weather was great, helped clear my head, and it honestly didn’t feel like much work so I added some miles. 🍂

    A dirt path lined with autumn-colored trees stretches into the distance. Fallen leaves cover the ground, and the tree canopy forms a tunnel-like structure, creating a serene woodland scene.

    Was a nice day out and I found myself with some time to get some miles in on my favorite boardwalks.  This really helped me get through the rest of the day.

    Monday miles to start the week off. One meeting got done early so thankfully I could get this run in the cooler morning hours. These two friends didn’t think anything of me and just kept walking towards me when I stopped to take this picture. 🦌📸

    Was a great morning outside to get this run in before the fun day ahead. I only wish I could find my other gears. Since last week I feel good running after a while but still more winded than I would like.

    Had to drop my daughter off in the other side of town so  ~conned~ convinced my friend to go on a run with me. It was needed after the past two days of work even though at points it felt worse than it should.

    Sunlight filters through tall trees, casting shadows over dense undergrowth and golden foliage in a serene, wooded landscape. A river is visible in the distance, under a clear blue sky.

    It was good to get out for a run today as the weather was beautiful out. It was a long day so the energy level was not probably there but oh well I had no plans just had to get done at a certain time.

    Tall reeds stand quietly in a sunlit field, surrounded by various green and golden foliage, under a clear blue sky. Trees frame the landscape on both sides.

    18 years and counting! It’s hard to believe how time flies, and true to form, we’re spending the evening running kids to their activities. We’ll hold off and celebrate when things calm down later this week, but for now, Happy Anniversary! So grateful to have my amazing wife by my side to navigate through it all.

    With the day off of work today I convinced a friend to go on a run with me today. The weather was great but I could still feel my legs talking to me from Saturday. So glad I had some company so I didn’t bail on this.

    Siri on iOS 18.1 I finally Fixed my Issue

    Since the update that happend this last week my Siri has failed to work and I could not figure out why for the longest time. I should preface that I have Apple Intelligence running as well. Everytime I would try to ask it to do something it would quick flash and go away.

    As it frustrating has not worked all week I have realized how many times I ask it to do simple things like text, open apps and what not. As I thought about it when I saw this message and captured it I got the feeling this probably was the culprit.

    Using that as my guide I did some digging on the interwebs as I had some time during the swim meet this morning. Thankfully I found some help on the Apple Developer forum as it seems like others have had a similar problem. This last comment I did exactly this and it worked.

    You should change region to something else then change again to US even if you are not in us because AI is now only working in US region after changing restart your phone then go to AI settings you should either see join the waiting list if you havent press it but if you see it says downloading, do this quick it need a quick manouver.
