Early Day, Did A Lot

What a busy day, wife and I woke up early to do Park Run

Then went immediately to a craft fair

Then went home and started the WLED lights with my son and his friend

Finally got some permanent LED Lights

There were a ton of other things I did like fix a fridge that had a stuck water filter, move a pet gate, installed a larger pet gate.

Family helped a lot too.

Tired though, but did get some great sleep.

Four MPH

I don’t recall the last time I ran 4MPH with consistency but today I did. Marking it as a milestone.

I did the usual first 3 minutes of warm up then I kept going to 4MPH so from the 3 minute mark to the 30 minute mark I ran 4MPH.

I really wanted to lower the speed, but I was able to push.

My body rewarded me by dropping me under 310 keeping my status under 310.

Still a lot to do over the weekend, my to do list is too long.

Weight Gain

Today was a rest day, so I did not burn a lot of calories, it is weird because I am so heavy today.

I think it is the soup I had for lunch and dinner last night after weigh in.

Started playing around with a Cheap Yellow Display (CYD), got the basics working.

Interesting Day Good and Bad

Weird day felt like a lot of extremes happened and the mean and medium comes to a normal day.

First off the Good, today is the last day for payment on my CRV. No more car payments!!

Then the bad, looks like a huge vulnerability in PHP today, redhat is patched, spent couple hours after work patching. Unfortunately the rocky linux repos are so stressed that I can’t patch.

The good, made it to the gym with enough time to do my hour run. Not sure if this is good or bad but here is how I performed

  • after warm up
  • 3 to 20 was 3.3
  • 20 to 40 was 3.4
  • 40 to 59 was 3.5
  • final minute was 5.6

Then more bad, my morning weight was 313 wow. But after my workout

Dog Training, Again

It has been over a decade since I took a dog to obedience school, I am out of practice.

This is just a beginner, daughter wants to go for advanced.

Was fun though, wife came with me.

But been a weird day, kind of long one. Nearly 11PM as I post.

I need to get some sleep though.

Need A New TV

Our really old TV is still going strong, 1080P one, not smarts, the way I like it.

This TV in the Living Room died though

Time for a new one. It is 8 years old, but I thought it would last longer.

Went to gym today, actually hit 3.9MPH for 27minutes of my run.

The 5 min cooldown typically adds .16 miles and my final milage was 2.06 so in 30 minutes I ran 1.9 miles. That is amazing progress.

Painting Done, Some Installed

I would say about 40% of the furring strips are done. I am pretty sure I can install at least 1 strand to see how it looks like.

Going to see if I can get something installed tomorrow.

I am happy things are painted, cause now I don’t have to worry about painting, just installing.

This was a late post, was out. Got home a little after midnight.

Pretty sure my weight was under 310 part of the day, so not to worried.

New Problem, Weather

So the boards are all primed

But the new challenge is weather. Before it was just time and trying to get it before Halloween.

This morning area was a little wet due to a little overnight rain. Tomorrow looks like I got a chance.

I need to sand it down a bit but it was already dark and not all the boards were dry.

I should go to bed early, and get up early to deal tackle this project.

What I was successful with was getting a CIS self audit and reconcile.

Busy Weekend Ahead

Not really a holiday thing, but related to the holidays. Going to get the furring boards primed and painted and hopefully set up with some lights tomorrow.

Hoping I will have a picture of lights tomorrow.

Workout Schedule Change Up

I just got too much going on tomorrow, there is a personal event that will happen that I will have to participate in, also in addition I have to take the new dog for his first vet visit.

Add to that work, I am still scheduled to work.

So today, I did my gym workout which I normally do on Friday.

I am still tired from yesterday’s 1 hour run, and I really wanted to drop the speed down. But I maintained 3.8 after my warm up.

Learned a new thing today, how to do CIS checks on a Linux box. It will up my game.

Also Seahawks lost.

Lukewarm day, wouldn’t say it was draining because of the Seahawks lost, wouldn’t say it was unproductive because I got a decent workout done and learned some cool things. But I am looking forward to going to bed.

Day not done though still need to clean.
