Took to the trails running today to change up my normal paths. Not sure if it was any cooler there but gave me something different to worry about.

Terminal.Shop Coffee

Thanks to Jamie and I guess ultimately his cousing Qunn as I saw both of the posts at the same time for me Saturday morning about Terminal Shop. As a sucker for always being up to try new coffee, I was sold. My first experience from my iPad that Saturday I couldn’t get all the way through and complete my order but still what a cool way to order though you Terminal.

Want to give it a go as well with some unknown coffee just type ‘ssh terminal.shop’ in your terminal.

Fast forward to Monday I did order some from my computer so I will look forward to receiving the package.. Or I think I will at some point.

Decided to make it a long run morning and head over Ridge Road. It was humid out but I will take the cooler temps since I did a lot more miles than I have for the last month.

The girls got the whole family playing Volleyball tonight. Well I know it isn’t a regulation net but we made it work with some rule modifications.

Four people are playing badminton on a driveway with a low net in the center, surrounded by houses, trees, and parked cars.

Even got Darby to join in at the end 🤭🐶

This shortcut got me thinking with some modifications might be my best path to get some of the shorter posts I make to DayOne as well. My current shortcut errors out from time to time due to DayOne shortcut steps must not be 100% the same from iOS/Mac. So using Tot would at least kept the text. 🤔

Going to try this little Tot to Mico.blog publish shortcut again as it did work as intended but some of the links didn’t translate through as I expected upon waking up today. Here goes!

Giving this shortcut from @crossingthethreshold a try so I can publish to Micro.blog from Tot. Here goes and thanks again for sharing it David! 🥳

The weather seemed too good today to pass up a run after work. The weather was ok but I wasn’t feeling 100% and tried to find a couple hills along the way as I think my lack of miles lately is translating to lack of elevation gains.

Early run today was the plan to get some cooler weather. Today was one of those days I decided to add some miles but even when I finished I thought I had run 1 mile less but still was happy. Then I looked closer and realized I matched last weeks mid week long run.

Found some time today to get a run in. I was super thankful for the overcast sky to at least not have the sun with the heat and humidity. I might have to do a morning run tomorrow.

Woke up really early to get the swimmer off to swim in the first car. Then I sat in the camper debating if this run was going to happen. I probably missed a cooler time to complete it but I did end up adding a little bit to check out this old “camp” nearby.

Spending some time out on the lake today in this sweltering heat. 🥵

Went back and forth in my mind this morning on whether or not this run was going to happen. Mostly with being more busy the next two days I felt I should get this done and due to again the heat. I didn’t wanna wait until this afternoon or evening.

Another humid day even during an early morning run.  It seemed more like putting in the miles today but overall after a couple miles I just found a groove and stuck with it.

A paved road curves gently between two stone walls with green grass bordered by tall trees and flanked on the left side by a white house nestled among trees.

Going to be a long day of work and then “working” at the swim meet tonight so I had to get this done early. It was humid out there but at least the sun wasn’t shining yet today so that helped keep it a little cooler on my run.

I regretted my decision to run after I looped Round Lake. I then ran across this deer that I see had the right idea of sitting in the shade relaxing. In fact it was so relaxed that it didn’t move much as I ran by about 10 ft away.

First time Playing Kubb and for sure won’t be my last.

If someone suggests running I always jump on board as it is nice to have company on a run. The plan was not to run today but sometimes a little motivation or push helps get you moving. This also lead to a faster pace than I would have done too.

Was just going to go for a shorter run today but after getting out there the kinks went away so I kept going not knowing if I would run this weekend.

Tonight’s creations… ✅ Homemade simple syrup ✅ Red Sangria (though I haven’t drank for 150 days now so let’s hope this will taste good for whomever tries it tomorrow 😂)
