M has been really into baking lately and her newest item is blueberry muffins from scratch. I will have to say they are pretty good!

It was actually cool out this morning which felt great. Just wish I could say the same for my body during this run .

Trees stand tall amidst dense green undergrowth, basking in early morning sunlight, within a serene forest clearing. Light mist drifts through, adding a dreamy quality to the scene.

Glad to get moving on this run early today as the day seems pretty busy with meetings. Also, helps to avoid some direct sunlight midday and I got an overcast and calm morning which was nice as well.

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 🤭🐶

Two people watch a black dog jump while playing in front of an open garage filled with various items.

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.

A vast green field stretches under a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds, bordered by a line of dense green trees. A single tall plant stands in the foreground.

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.

A pathway stretches into the distance bordered by lush greenery on the left and a black metal fence on the right with overhead power lines running parallel to the path.

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.

A small stone cabin with wooden doors stands amidst a dense forest surrounded by lush green foliage and a dirt path leading to it.

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

Three people on a lake sitting on paddleboards smiling with forested shoreline visible in the background under a cloudy sky. The text on the paddleboard reads “Founder”.

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.

A dirt path stretches forward with overhanging green trees and dense foliage on both sides suggesting a serene wooded area.

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.

A tree stands prominently in a lush, wetland area with tall grasses and scattered bushes, under a partly cloudy sky at dawn.

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.
