Had the day off today so why not get the run in early so I had the rest of the day free. Oh wait, there was Hockey games today. This particular route I always forget how many hills there are until I am too committed and have to keep pushing thought.
This is why I can’t buy nice sunglasses…. I toss them in the car and then I sit on them…. and repeat 🤦♂️
Last time for my daughter to do piano for a while so I filled the time running and filling in my street map. Still cold 🥶
Start of the week so I wanted to make sure to get some miles in. However, I quickly realized that my body was not ready for 58°F with lots of sun to run in again. This felt much worse than it should have.
Well 45 min of work and we will call this Backyard Ice Rink season a wrap… or bust! 🥺 Till next year I guess… 👋 🧊🏒
Well didn’t see this one coming after yesterday but here I find myself at a swim meet all morning today. Thankfully I have a great spot and view of the event since my daughter will be in lane right in front of me for 2/3 events.
The plan was for a mile less running today but seeing how we made a couple wrong turns it helped force our decision to continue to the half distance. Is still strange to think I haven’t run this far for almost a year and a half now.
🔗 Genius vs. Expertise - by John Warner
Playing drums on pillows or even simulate drum rhythms and fills by clicking his teeth together is not being gifted with genius in the way we popularly think of genius unless deep down genius is simply passion manifested through practice, obsession married with expertise.
Such an interesting article to read on this topic and does make you think what is Genius.
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.
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… 🫣👟🏃♂️
