Lesson for Son

Today we found my son is running the 3200 this weekend but he is in the fast heat. There is a second slower heat but his ranking puts him in the faster heat. Unfortunately he is ranked last in his heat.

So the lesson is, do you want to be the fastest in a slower heat, or the slowest in the faster heat.

Part of growing up, part of being challenged.

Got my steps done early today, sleeping early.

Brace for foot

My foot has been aching a lot, pretty sure it is plantar fascitis. So I am trying a new splint to keep my foot from loosening up too much at night.

It worked, woke up and my foot was not bad as before.

Going to try again tonight.

My son did incredible in the 800M dash, he was ahead by 4 people but at 200M left he hit the turbos and placed 3rd, amazing run.

Good Pace Today

Not crazy, got work done, had good sleep (although I got up later than I wanted to), did my work.

Also got steps done early, as of my post, I have 9889 steps, it is very unlikely I will not make my steps.

Nice day too, sunny, not hot. Was a good day for a walk.

Got a new brace for nighttime for my foot, hoping it will help with my plantar.

Get Most of Steps Early

Although I rested a lot, but have not healed right.

My left heel hurts, seems like rest and massages help.

We’ll see how it goes, maybe just rest.

Recovery Day

Needed it, slept a long time today. I think I went to bed at 2:30AM and got up at 11AM

Ate lunch did a bit of youtube, basically a needed unproductive day.

Almost done with my steps though, got 1000 more.

Pollen Season

Watched my son run a meet, still cracked 11 minutes, I blame the pollen.

Day started hot, we were cooked by the sun, then got cool and window, sucked when it started to rain.

I did my walk at home with some drops hitting me.

All done though.

Son Was Flying

My son ran an event that he was not accustomed in running the 800M dash. That was his main race for the day but he was saving himself for the 1600M and 3200M this Saturday. I fully expect him to complete it in 5:00 min and 10:45 respectively, my stopwatch showed he ran has 800 in 2:14.14, officially his time as 2:14.42, a PR, but what was amazing was he place 2nd overall in 2 heats.

Got an hour left in the day to get 2700 more steps. I should be able to get it.

More Hardware Security Keys

I got enough keys for most of the families.

Theses are the newer one that work but are cheaper. I do not like their app to get TOTP requires higher admin rights. The yubikey one was easier to use.

New Hardware Security Key

I been trying out the yubikey, but it is kind of expensive for what I need it for, so I tried the trustkey T110.

It works, ordered 2 more for the kids.

So will have 3 yubikey and 4 trustkey for the family.
