I thought the weather was going to be nice and cool with the overcast sky and breeze. Not to mention I was in need of some coffee so did a coffee run which was good but warmer than I anticipated. Well the coffee was good and helpful for work today. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
๐ Forgot this is the time of year when we wait to hear tryout results and tonight one is supposed to come out for a new sport for our middle child. The suspense!
@canion I am glad I have a support group here ๐
๐ Beautiful night for a cross country race. I decided to stick around after my sons race and watch some of the other kids I knew in other grade.
๐ฅ Just having lunch now at 3pmโฆ Wait is this still considered lunch?
Nothing about this was really enjoyable during the run but after I was reminded it was good to get done. After having some cooler days and running in the morning last week these evening runs have felt like real work.
๐ It will shock no one I am sure that I have been using a different Note taking appโฆ Reverted back to Goodnotes for a while to give it a spin again.
@darby3 this cooler weather is making me excited for more fall running as it is one of my favorites. However, I also agree we are probably not out of the woods yet with the heat.
๐ First day of school for the youngest. I am an early morning person but for her to be catching the bus before 7am this year might make for a long one.
@bjhess hope you had a great birthday looks like it started off great!
๐จโ๐ง Since I was young I have always had this mindset to tinker and fix things myself vs junking it. Fingers crossed I bought the right switch to fix my small shop vac as it seems like it was the switch failed me. Time will tell I guess.
Day was too nice out to again not go on a run. My legs were heavy but kept prodding along as it was nice out and a long week ahead so needed to front load some miles.
๐ซ Well all of this stuff from the camper is not going to pack itself away in the shed and get washed soooo.. Probably should get started on it.
๐ตโ๐ซ I think at this point I kind of do some targeted reading and then give up after a little while.
@camiel funny you mention this.. My older two used to always bike with me and eventually stopped and my youngest and I were talking about that after the run and she told me I will for sure keep biking with you when you run or we can bike together because remember we used to bike on the tagalong together too. I agreed but said time will tell but I am going to try to hold you too it.
@mihobu if I would have been at my house vs the camper I might have ran inside and grabbed some of my old ones I still have for no reason. This would seem like the right reason. ๐
@jthingelstad thanks and hope you have had a great weekend so far as well!
Well I wasnโt planning on running but the weather is amazing out. Not to mention a kid was game to bike along with so I jump on her excitement.
๐ Two kids biking around the campsite taped cardboard on the frame so it make a noise when it hits all the spokesโฆ. Love it!
โณ๏ธ I canโt believe I have not played miniature golf all year yet at the campground. Well better late than never as the season for us is almost over so playing a round with the youngest.
@darby3 well done on the run today! I do agree the last mile is always the worst especially when long run training as most of the time that is the mile you need to keep building. ๐
Couldnโt pass up the nice weather today so decided to go for a run on the trails north of my house. I was shocked to find the boardwalk mostly covered and I had to turn around as I came across another flooded out area.
@bjhess thanks! This is one of the reason long ago I decided every run I would take a picture of something interesting. Even though I mostly traverse a lot of the same trails but I always figure I can find something I find interesting and a good way to document it. Thanks again!๏ฟผ
@odd I am 5-10 and had no issues running under it (of course I was going to try). Looks might be slightly deceiving here but still you never know when it might give way!๏ฟผ
๐ Got to the camper and got everything setup and cleaned up in less than an hour. Too bad it seems so much easier about the time you are ready to close it down for the year. However, that is not now so now it is time to relax.
๐ Guess we find out today that the boy is allergic to bee stings as he currently has a rash all over his body. Who would have known running was so dangerous. Unfortunately, he wasnโt the only victim as it seems the course took them right over a bees nest. ๐
๐โโ๏ธ Early morning wake up today not for me to run but to drop my son off to get to an early morning cross country meet on the other side of town.
@darby3 thankfully we were only out for a little more than 24 hrs. Only big loss for us was some food and my lost time of running all around with kids and dogs ๐
Last week before kids have school next week with our youngest having to catch a bus before 7am ๐ณ. So I figured I would take advantage again of a not so early but still early morning run before I figure out a new routine next week.
๐งน Decided it was time to do a little cleaning in the shed office today so I spent 15 min inbetween meetings to dust and sweep. I guess not being a part of the house it probably gets done less. ๐ฌ
Granted it has been over 24 hrs since the storm but I figured I would make a run around and see some of it.
Trail obstacles
More Trail obstacles that are not helping with my pace
Sidewalk out guess I will take to the road
This is likely the reason we have not had power ๐ฑ๐ฅฑ Long day of work and running around today. Glad to be closing the laptop now for the night.
@jack looks good! Want to bring those skills this way and continue to perfect your craft? ๐
๐ Time to get back at it today. However, of course in looking at something late last night I realized that my Status.lol is not syncing over to Micro.blog. I will need to resist digging into that much today as I should get some work done.
๐ฎโ๐จ Finally power back on and home for the night. It has really been a whirlwind of a 24 hrs with probably less work done than I had hoped. However, grateful for close family and also being able to help out friends.
@aa when might this one hit the shop ๐
@jthingelstad yep we were in the same boat here too. In the clear now except still no power ๐
@toddgrotenhuis ๐... This reminds me of the other day I was running and a big walnut dropped a couple feet in front of me and really made me jump. I can only imagine how all the acorns would sound.
@thomasrost yeah I typically like early runs if time permits and summers are the best time before the kids are back to school. As for running along the tracks, nope I didn't just ran across them and snapped this photo.
@dynamitemoth nice work! Glad the weather held out for you and hopefully made for as an enjoyable hike as it could be.
@jthingelstad nice! Looks like a great time and a great night for it.
@maique that is a great looking road.
@camiel that path looks so narrow! However, maybe it is just how the picture shows but looks like if you came across someone you would be running in the grass. Looks like a great place to run though.
@patrickrhone I just wish I would have planned my week better to go and enjoy this amazing weather today. I really love days like this ๐
@bjhess congrats on 20 years! It is something. I do wish sometimes I would have kept a better habit even with just some smaller posts in years I didnโt. However, we are where we are now. Also, glad to hear you will keep apace!
@darby3 I know, if it wasnโt for that that time works best right now and it is cooler out I might have to pivot to some other time of the day.
@lmika very cool and interesting idea. I have actually increased my usage of DayOne lately but for the very quick journal entries I am at a loss on how to really do it in DayOne. I have tried both a summary entry and individual entries of which both interest me but really not sure in the end. So, seeing something simple like this is very nice!
@camiel nice work! Also, I agree even though I enjoyed running younger I had a falling out with running for no good reason but am just so glad it has been my constant for the last many years.
@canion oh wow! I feel like there will be more insight to all of this soon so I will be patiently waiting.
