Brew and Run
Got a bunch of medium roast coffee beans to use up before I resupply. Here was this morning’s attempt: This is essentially the same thing I brewed about six weeks ago, with slightly hotter water and a little bit more coffee. The result was similar to last time: just fine flavor-wise, but lacking in body.…

This and that
My dream of running 10+ miles on Saturday mornings is going to have to wait at least another week, as it’s still oppressively humid out there. Today, I settled for 10K, and probably sweated out about 30% of my body weight. If I’m able to consistently run longer distances through fall, winter, and next spring,…

Running/Climbing
After a hot and humid day yesterday, this morning saw a cold front sweep through and take a lot of the humidity with it. I got out for my run at about 8:30, which is later than I typically like in August, but it worked out in my favor today, as the dewpoint had dropped…

Saturday Run
Today was a very pleasant morning for August, with temperatures in the 60s and dewpoint in the 50s. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “fall-like”, but it was definitely nice late-summer weather. I was a little bit slow-moving, and didn’t get out of the house for my run until around 8:00, but…

Morning Run
Crazy week here at the house, with construction out front as the county scrambles to build sidewalks before school starts, and our own driveway paving job starting shortly as well. Should be nice when everything is all finished and re-landscaped, although who knows how long that will take. I woke up to a more humid…

Morning Update
Not a pleasant morning at all here in central Maryland, so I opted to run in the pool. More storms later today in this already extremely stormy and wet summer. How long until autumn again? 😀 I’ve written before about how the benefits of owning a pool don’t quite make up for the expense and…

Run Notes
The good news this morning was that I got out early for my run, as it’s forecast to be 92 today with high humidity. The bad news is that I only got around 4.5 hours of sleep. I woke up around 2-2:30 and couldn’t settle back in. In spite of that, the run wasn’t bad.…

Niner
I ran 9 miles this morning, for the first time since June 15. I was surprised that it had been that long, especially given the cool weather we had during the second half of June. Today, the temperature at 8:00am was around 70, and the weather was overcast and muggy. I got 7 hours of…

Running etc
Pool update: after yesterday morning’s weird SWG behavior, I returned from work in the late afternoon to find everything ostensibly working normally. The temperature readout had corrected itself, and cell volts/amps looked good as well. The Free Chlorine this morning was identical to yesterday’s reading at ~4.5ppm. Not sure what the issue was. This morning,…

Hot Day Hybrid
Day 3 of the heat wave: after skipping Thursday’s run in favor of the pool, I wanted to run today, even if it was only a short one. I hit the road at 8:15am, when it was still below 80°, and although it was plenty humid, it did feel slightly less oppressive out than it…
