Monday I worked on pockets and such, getting ready for the convention. I was supposed to run in the evening, but it rained all day, so the trails were too muddy. Tuesday I got up and finished the pockets, then we went to music lessons. After we returned home I worked on the backpack for a bit. That evening we …

Weekly Mileage #264 and Nighttime Running
Monday, despite the sore throat I’ve had for several days, I took Max for a trail run. I’d already skipped my run on Saturday because of the sore throat, and I really couldn’t skip another run.

Weekly Mileage #262 and Another Karate Graduation
Monday I went for a slow trail run. My muscles were still tired from Saturday’s long run (and being out of shape). I tweaked my new work setup in the basement a bit. I still need to change some things up, rearrange some shelves, etc, but I think it will be a better setup in the long run. Tuesday we …

Awhile ago Ocean found one of Jeremy’s Monster energy drinks and he must have drunk a fair bit of it. For hours afterward he was practically vibrating. He couldn’t be still and his brain was going a mile a minute and his mouth couldn’t keep up. It was funny, but also a good reminder that we have to keep an …
