Good morning to everyone, except every politician, plutocrat, pundit, and pastor who got us into this mess. 👋
My Garmin Toledo Half Marathon did not go as planned
Welp…months of hard work for what was supposed to be a celebratory/fun return to running a half marathon (7.5 years since my last one…I used to be fast, promise) with my speedy wife, who graciously agreed to slow down and run this one with me. Had to go over a minute slower per mile than what my Runna plan was ideally targeting. And my heart rate was still through the roof, almost right from the start. Average of 185 over the more than 2 hours 😳, which is absolutely insane. Yay for effort and not having a stroke I guess? Really, deeply bummed with this one. Was all I could do just to finish without walking/quitting. It was less than ideal in the rain today, but still. I thought I was at least ready for 2hrs again, but I guess not, and that’s a punch to the gut.

It’s >7 yrs since I ran a half marathon. Running one tomorrow. It’s gonna be warm and rainy, I’ve still got the remnants of a head cold, and I’ve been managing tendinopathy in my right foot for over a month. Not exactly what I hoped for at the start of this training cycle, but here goes! 🏃♂️
I think my dream job would be reviewing tools and pens, so I could get sent free tools and pens…
Woof. Anyone else out there just so, so tired of all the bullshit?
It’s all fun and games until your kids get you sick and you have to miss your rec soccer game that’s usually your hardest workout and most fun of the week 🤧
Wait, so, are there “open” captions?
If you’re on multiple social networks, where do you tend to have the most interesting, beneficial conversations?
I don’t know, guys. I just don’t know if we’re going to be able to “both sides” our way out of (gestures broadly)…all this.
Do any of you use a digital privacy data removal service? If so, have you found it worth the cost? Do you have an individual or a family plan? I’m considering DeleteMe but I’m on the fence.
I wonder what kind of abuse/shame/disgrace (ὀνειδισμὸν, Hebrews 13:13) Christians ought to endure today, “outside the camp,” for the sake of the world? Solidarity with immigrants and refugees is the first thing that comes to mind.
6:30AM and it’s 71F, 90% humidity. Summer can be done any day now!
No, not Dolly Parton! Sigh.
I really want to get a Concept 2 RowErg rowing machine someday. Does anyone in my online circles have one? Is it worth the high price?
Just watched “Remarkably Bright Creatures” and really enjoyed it. Haven’t read the book, but my wife has, and I’m glad she convinced me to watch it.
I’m looking for audiobook recommendations that I can listen to while running.
Do you use an E-Reader? If so, what make/model? Kindle? Kobo? Something else? I’ve got a Kindle Paperwhite 10th Generation and I’m considering leaving the Kindle ecosystem. Needs to play well with public library offerings.
What self-help, improve-your-life-in-some-way books are worth reading in their entirety?
YIKES to this GitHub incident/outage/degradation this morning. Definitely slowing down my day job as a dev. Where else are people putting their code these days?
