my prayers have been answered!

Of course my 12v battery would die after just 13 months (1 month out of warranty). HOW CONVENIENT! Perhaps some Q4 service numbers need juicing??? Hmm 🤔

saw this, thought it was cool (euro stadium conversion for the dolphins v commanders game)

some great games today, bummed i couldn't catch dolphins v commanders live, but that was too early for me.

Finally finished Brian Greene's Fabric of the Cosmos after reading it on/off for over a year. Found it verbose, perhaps b/c I was already somewhat familiar with the concepts discussed. Overall, I greatly prefer the respective PBS NOVA series for it's visual demonstrability.

it's a clean blue sweep in virginia, you love to see it

i hope this scratches my fps itch

everytime i feel shitty and don't want to run, i'm usually happy i did afterward; also the mobile fitbit app isn't rendering the heart rate chart so i have to manually screenshot it to share... lame, maybe it's time to switch to garmin and strava?

Switching on "athlete mode" in september dropped the body fat by ~5%... it would be interesting to know how the metric changed.

I quite like this picture of myself I took the other day.

Trying on temp tattoo for funsies. 🦉

Wanted to head into DC today before the government shutdown closed everything down. Ended up at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. It was a good opportunity for reflection and introspection. I really love this country and appreciate those who made it what it is today.

Very happy with my run today. It was a beautiful day; partially cloudy, ~68F. Slightly slower pace, but I met my goal of not stopping.

2 key factors:
1. Greater back activation, especially lower back with increased scapula retraction
2. Didn't run on a completely empty stomach
