Had to take the hockey player to morning practice today so I figured I should get a run in as I will be in the car later today. I used ever minute I could not knowing if I will get another run in this week but the weather was already humid and the air quality was not great either.
I had exactly 30 min to get this run in done before I needed to head down to watch day two of State Swimming for our youngest. Probably not the most ideal time to run due to the heat but I had a long afternoon/evening ahead of sitting.
Well I finally got around to creating my first POAP! I wasn’t really sure what it would involve so figured I would give it a go for the MN Age Group State that will happen at the Univerity of Minnesota. It seems to have worked and if anyone is in the area or looking for the code after the fact let me know I have a couple saved off to the side.
Always hard to get all of us together when outside of the hockey season where we see each other daily but it is always great to find the time when we can to catch up.

Felt really good today on this very wet run as it rained the whole time. If it wasn’t for a meeting and picking up a kid from practice I might have just extended the millage on this one. Even with the rain it wasn’t bad outside.
My family keeps thinking I should take our younger but bigger dog for runs with me so I decided to give it a try again. About .4 miles in he just refused to go he was done. So we walked back to the house and then I went out and ran on my own. He was happy for a little bit of our run together.
Seems like a pizza oven kind of night. π
Well this is just really sad news to discover… Poor Jeep π¦
I have been working on a different Obsidian plugin for no good reason than to do it and I spent much more time than I would like to admit doing so. However, after a lot of trial and error I was able to figure out how to update posts using post_id vs just normal url. At some point I need to write this out in more detail but this is all for now.
If all goes well this should post from this plugin as well.
It did POST and now the update works successfully too! π₯³
Felt good today running and extended it as much as I could before having to pick our youngest up. It wasnβt bad out either but started to get warm when the sun wasnβt behind clouds but I will take this over the heat earlier in the week.

I had just enough time to get this run in before heading up to a swimming volunteer shift. It was really nice out tonight since it rained all day and was overcast for this run. I wish I could have gone longer but probably fine as the last block my ankle started to hurt slightly.
About a half mile into this run these dark sky just dumped rain on me for the next 3.5 miles. I kept going as I figured it would let up soon and at a minimum I would have been soaked that much from the heat and humidity anyway. It finally let up with 1 mile left just to make me get warm.
This was a warm one out today running around the streets and woods. Pretty much we tried to find some shade while out there today.
Since I was in Cedar Falls I decided to run around the University of Northern Iowa where I went to school in order to get a run in and see how things have changed. Such a blast to see again as it has been a while since I have been here.
One of the many reasons I choose to run is because I sometimes find myself wanting to eat fun cookies like this π€£. Donβt worry we only ate one for now but the other one might be later tonight. π
At least I could convince my daughter to share the bear one with me for now.
I decided to get this late night run in as I will be sitting for a lot of tomorrow. I actually thought it would have been cooler out tonight after I finished mowing now that the sun went down but I think with the rain today the humidity skyrocketed.
Wish I could have made it to the championship game today to watch these girls win the whole tournament . So fun to think only 1 year ago M decided she wanted to play volleyball for fun. π€© ππ
Plan B for tonight we decided to goto a site I have been before and meandered around the historic trails at the old Bloomington Mill site. Had fun even though it was a lot of work. There is so many trails and old wooden steps into this valley that are no where on a map so you have to look closely.
I am never a good rule follower so this might have said bridge closed but we still made it over and back.

Trust me this is a path to the bottom even though it just looks like dirt there are some rail road tie steps in there.
