Man, haven’t really put in a run in over half a month, beyond the couple mile treads incorporated into my HIIT workouts.

Got hit with a second wave of illness just before the weekend. Today was probably too soon to try. I was so exhausted my face was cramping up lol. Oh well.

Use It Or Lose It Monday!

Frustrating run today. Felt like I started with zero energy and moved like a slug the whole time. Never really felt like I got over that block, though I was expecting a bit better at least from last week; same route and all. Folks say this exhaustion could last a while. I hope not.

I haven’t ran in almost 6 months due to my eye surgery. I can relate!

Guess I forgot to post in here yesterday morning, amidst the flurry of any killing and trying to leave for my work meeting. So there we have if.

OT workout later!

Tough OT workout last night but it allowed me to put in an extra 2.5 miles on the tread so I could finish my Marathon Month goal early. Half Marathon mileage completed! Any more miles I get the rest of the month are just icing on the cake.

Friday! Thank goodness.

The kids’ first week back in school seems to have gone well. The youngest, who started his freshman high school year, is already inundated with homework 😂

Typical Saturday in progress. A slight break from the heat/humidity too right now as we have some cloud cover today! Yippee!

Have a blessed Sunday all!
 
Around these fancy parts, it’s the kids and their electric bike gangs you’ve got to watch out for! Flying around like they’re invincible and everything in their path is a minor inconvenience.
I’m afraid I must inform you that electric bikes are a gateway to those infamous and dangerous motorcycle gangs, much like one hit of weed leads to insanity, debauchery, and heroin (please see the 1936 documentary “Reefer Madness”).

Monday returns, all too soon.

This soap is in extreme donut ring stage. Probably going to mash it into the clown puke tub soon!
 
Could you enlighten me on how you do this? I'm not sure how to combine my three nearly empty tubs into a clown puke tub. Teach me, oh Wise One.
If you don’t already have an empty tub waiting for the purpose, pick your favorite shaped one out of the 3. I use my finger to just scoop out the tubs I’m emptying and mash it (or layer it; I like to mix it all up) into the tub I chose until it’s all transferred. Then I even it all out and leave it sitting out for a day or two with the cap off to set up a bit.
