Raw Dog a long run

Brutal boring run, but I got through it.

Basically I didn’t have my headphones, thought I lost them. Time for new ones anyway so I found two to try. Of course when I got home I found it.

It was 60 minutes of boring but a strong run, I probably could have pushed for more.

Maybe It Is The Intake

Today I went in to the office again, had a small lunch, and took the opportunity to hit the gym and try again, didn’t do much, but I did hit the treadmill and do some weights.

After I got home wife and I made our way to the park and did some walking there too.

When I got home I hit a new low (since tracking on the database)

But I think the key was a light lunch. Had a salad for lunch.

Perseverance Paid Off

I had a bad run on the treadmill today, maybe because it is a different gym, I went to the one at work rather than the Y.

Then I tried to do some weights, pushed too hard and cramped.

Finally as a way to earn some points back, I went on a 2 mile walk rather than a 1 mile.

Rocked it, felt good during the walk.

Long Day Tomorrow

Didn’t complete all my tasks like yesterday but I did finish a lot.

Exhausted maybe tomorrow will be better.

PR Tied today

I did not PR today, but was so close. I basically tied my last one.

Daughter said I was moving, felt like it.

After that I did a bunch of errands, got a LOT done.

Went to Harbor Freight today and they have these grates which unlock a fear in me. I fear I will drop my phone in them.

But one of the things I got was a refurbed router I flashed with DDWRT

Guest Wifi Netgear R6400

One task today was to get this, another task was to flash it to ddwrt. Mission accomplished.

I accomplished all I set out to do today. A PR would have been nice but I tied it, so there is that.

Hoping to sleep really well tonight.

Really Bad Sleep

I just could not get to sleep last night. I went to bed at 6AM, I super exhausted. Took a 2 hour power nap and was able to finish the rest of the day.

This evening I was able to work out and get my goals done, I am expecting a crash this weekend.

Most of my physical tasks are for tomorrow. So if I can power through tomorrow, get my tasks done, I can wake up late Sunday and just chill with desktop stuff.

On of those things is testing my Fedora builds. The seem to be working.

Also having fun with LUKS, TPM and Yubikey. Those combine should provide for a secure system.

Fedora Desktop and Laptop

I am hooked, liking Fedora, this is probably going to be my distro.

It uses rpm packaging which I am familiar with and has roots with Red Hat.

Going to be playing more with encryption and any password vaults. More to come.

Weekend is almost here, going to slow down on the home work. Sunday will probably be a chill day.

Trying To Catch Up

Wow, just posted yeterday’s post. I must have been really tired. But I think I was ok today, lead two meetings and got a bunch of stuff done.

I did forget to submit my timesheet, so I logged in and did it.

But I did run a 60min workout on the treadmill. Wasn’t as bad as Monday but was going slower but longer.

Rare Missed Post

This is officially posted 7/8/2026 but this is a very late post for 7/7/2026

Not sure why I missed it, but here it is.

Woke up early went to the office, got home did some work, walked with the wife and dog.

Was a pretty exhausting day, so one of the rare ones (I think this may be the first) I actually missed a day.

I actually went to bed before midnight.

Weight is a guess from memory.

My Fedora Laptop

Got my new toy in today, I admit, I opened it up and started an install of Fedora 44 on it.

Lenovo T14 Gen 1

Here are the specs, a little moderate

  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10310U CPU @ 1.70GHz
  • 16GB Of DDR4 RAM
  • 512GB NVME (I thought I was getting 256)

I got it running with both Secure Boot and an encrypted Hard drive via TPM

This laptop is not a workhorse, just something to connect home securely and provide documentation.

Note the yubikey, I am also using it to test my logins.

Need to mention today’s workout, not sure what the heck was going on, I was not right.

My rate wasn’t crazy but it was the first time I had to grab the rails to finish. I had 90 seconds left so I didnt want to stop
