Lesson learned from Monday. 7 hours of Zoom calls today for work? Don’t even bother going to the office. I’m set up on the patio, laptop, external monitor, hot coffee, fresh air, 54F going to 74F this afternoon. Bring it on.
Finally took the plunge and put the iOS 26 public beta on my phone. (I’ve had it on my iPad for weeks now.)
It’s… fine.
Beautiful pseudo-fall day here in Iowa. Got to the office, realized my day was 8 hours of Zoom calls.
Got a 30-minute break in the morning call. Grabbed my laptop, got in my car, drove back home.
Still have 6 hours more Zoom calls, but now from my patio. 1000% improvement.
A beautiful day, a new pair of shoes, and I think I finally figured out doing a Zone 2 run. That felt really good. Now I’ve got a week until the NewBo 10K. Maybe can sneak in 1 or 2 more short runs before that.

Current status: creating a Kahoot quiz to use in an upcoming work team meeting. The topic: “Drug, LOTR Character, or AI Startup?” 20 names, make your best guess for each.
I think it’s gonna be tougher than they expect.
Didn’t run for the better part of two weeks thanks to some travel and excessive heat. Trying to ramp back into it in prep for a 10K on Labor Day weekend.
Wednesday’s run was rough. Today’s was better. Think I can sneak in maybe 3 more before a couple pre-race rest days.
Just had a conversation with a younger engineer who independently worked to solve a problem that I tried to solve a couple years ago. His solution is very similar conceptually and a 100% improvement over mine. It’s cool and a very humbling experience.
