I decided to flex my lunch today and get this run in since it is short weather! Day started crazy at work with lots of little things to tackle so I ended up working in the dining room as I didn’t have a break long enough to make it to my “office”. I guess I had that lunch break but priorities. 😁

Drafts Thoughts

I think the idea of drafts still is very compelling but there is a part of me thinking there is just to much it can do and I really just am overwhelmed by all the buttons and sidebars. 🤷‍♂️

I kind of wish it had either a first time setup or almost hide anything/everything more than the text editor basic stuff. I get the power is everything else but since I know I might only use one or two things right away it is just very cluttered and I feel like I want more of a blank environment when I am typing on my phone (now) or earlier on my Mac.

I am going to give this a go for a little bit longer to see if it fits in my workflow of life.

I have no good reason at all but found myself installing Drafts again. I don’t think it is going to stick but figured I would check it out and what better way to figure out how to do things than to post to Micro.blog.

It is that time of year I guess… This is the first year of Girl Scouts for this girl to experience cookie selling so we were out pounding the pavement before swimming.

I told myself I wasn’t going to run today but it was so nice out that I had to. I somewhat regretted it as I my legs were feeling but I got some miles in so I guess all is well.

Leafless trees stand under a bright sun in a snowy landscape, hinting at early spring.

Kind of a day off but before I actually started working I decided to put some miles in to start the week. Was glad it was another nice sunny day. All felt good on this run till around mile 5 my legs felt heavy but still glad to get it done.

So much nicer out today than yesterday. I think I still am not good at “recovery” miles or a recovery run.

Decided that this seemed like a good way to end my mall experience with my daughter and her friend tonight

With packed and uneven snow on the trail added for a more interesting run than planned. We had figured it might have been plowed and then with the crushed rock it would have been perfect. Not the case and our legs took a beating.

No, no, I don’t have a problem… 🫣👟🏃‍♂️

Had to get out and actually run through the snow today! 🌨️ I had no real plan just wanted to creat my own tracks but wish I could have done it when the sun was rising vs still dark.

Snow dog… 🐶 🌨️

Missed this yesterday but I am really interested to dig into Notes for Micro.blog! Congratulations and thanks to @manton and the team this will be a great addition to something I use so often.

The plan was to wake up earlier than normal to run but I got a little bit more of a head start today since for some unknown reason my daughters set an alarm for 4:30am. I guess overall I can’t complain as I was able to take a slightly different route to get some more elevation.

Just two best friends hanging out in the Shed Office while I get work done today. 🐶🐶

Another great day to get outside for a run with shorts! This was one of those days I didn’t think it was going to be as productive as a run and in hindsight I would have planned something different.

I think I have spent the entire day working on presentation slides, and slicing and dicing data in Excel to make charts and figure out the details of the data. 😵‍💫

∞

It was almost too nice not to get outside today with the run shinning. I also kind of wanted to get my weekly running total over a number so decided get out there.

Continuing to build the millage base. This run was longer than any run I ran in 2023 which is kind of odd to think since it is only February. Saw some cows that I have never seen but am sure I have gone by before in town.

Well the ice might be receding now but it felt so much colder out running today and my body is not used to this anymore. Not only cold but the wind and snow in my face on half of it was not as enjoyable as you would think.
