Woo hoo! Just did my first β€œrun” in the None to Run plan. It’s mostly walking with a few 30 second runs, but that felt PERFECT after 40 years of not running. I’m looking forward to the next one, which is about as much as you can ask from a workout plan. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

After not running for 35 years, I’d like to start. I bought good shoes and am planning to do None To Runβ„’ - Gradual Running Plan and App for Beginner Runners. Any advice? I’m in good physical shape (for 60), lots of swimming and strength training. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I fell off the “no Facebook in August ” wagon this morning. Ouch! But now I’m back on the wagon, more determined than ever. Then I spent another hour trying to figure out Mailmate keybindings and I finally got my custom keybindings working! Probably took me 4 hours total. Ugh

Time for a change to make more space in the office so I put this bookcase out on the front lawn. It was gone by the next morning. Freecycle recycle #mbaug πŸ“·

I’ve already talked about how much I love this album by Wu Fei and Abigail Washburn. On the strength of it, I subscribed to Wu Fei’s substack and I’m so happy I did. 🎡

I’m going to call this a silhouette even though it looks more like an impressionist painting. It’s the clothes drawer that my cat has emptied painstakingly onto the floor. #mbaug πŸ“· 🐈 🐱

I was sad to bid farewell to these ski boots as there were among the best I’d ever had. I skiied in them for at least a dozen years so had to take a picture before they went to the dump. #mbaug. πŸ“·
