Rookie mistake starting the coffee pot, walking away and now suck with a pot of hot water 🤦♂️

Don’t always get 2 parents to one kids but we had fun going to Valleyfair with this one. They had a carnival theme there so we let her play a couple carnival games and she won at each of them 😄

Had to make it another early one today 🏃🏻♂️

This was shared this with me and I thought it was funny enough to share along:
Don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee.

Or after my coffee. Or during. This isn’t really a caffeine thing I just prefer not talking to people.
Either you’re using time.
Or it’s using you.
You can watch the clock, but if you do, it’s watching you.

Had to get up extra early this morning to run as I had a 6:30am meeting. However, really who schedules meetings that early on a Monday 🤦♂️🏃🏻♂️

Possibly the greatest troubleshooting statement from my works help desk:
“I see that there were some shenanigans happening with reactivating accounts”
Not the plan but glad that the Smoke left us and we had blue sky’s today. Also, thankful I found some time between kids activities to enjoy the 70° F weather… 🏃🏻♂️
This air quality issue derailed my long run today and I ended up having to run on a treadmill. I appreciated my fiend letting me join him at his gym today but I really dislike treadmills.

Family Movie night watching Jungle Cruise - Solid Dwayne Johnson movie with humor and fighting. Also, not a bad intro with a Metallica song “Nothing Else Matters”.

Why did I wait till Friday to complete some of these work tasks 🤦♂️
Frontenac State Park had some great views but my legs were not ready for rocky terrain, narrow trails, and steps that took you up and down 425 ft of vertical. 🏃🏻♂️




Never knew Old Powers Blvd existed till I stumbled across a small section today. It was what I needed as the long run was not going well. Most likely the heat and humidity was to blame as it looked and felt like I swam the miles. 🥵


It might just look overcast by the picture but this morning’s run was smoke filled ⚠️🏃🏻♂️

I will have to find a special place for this award 🤣. Thanks @HemisphericViews for the fun and challenging Arcadia June! 🏆
I am glad Tuesday is behind me now as it was a very long busy day that started with this picture of a train track where you can’t see the end (that is how the day felt).

Time for some “camping” coffee… ☕️

Found some fun trails to explore today at Theodore Wirth Regional Park. Granted some were mountain biking trails but good for a runner too 🏃🏻♂️
