Broke up my run into two parts today… That’s how the schedule worked out. Part 2 was warmer than part 1.
Looking forward to the weekend π
Had a work event at Office Golf today, it was a lot of fun! I didn’t bring my own clubs (they’re away for the season) but it was still good to stroke a few. I’d definitely go back!
My body is continuing to recover from the race last week… And it’s still cold outside. Before and after picture from my run this morning. π

Always get a laugh when I come back to missed chats and one of them is a super long thread of devs posting numbers for agile planning poker π
Deposited my quarterly Solar Rebate this morning. Love being energy neutral at home. Still on track for <10 year payback on the investment in solar panels.
After mentioning my journal, I thought I’d post a link to the publisher of my 10-year journal…but they appear to be out of business! βΉοΈ I have a couple of years before I need my next volume, but it’s sad to see they last published in 2022. –Journal10
Still very cold out there today, our kids school start was delayed to let things warm up, other schools are canceling outright. I suppose it has warmed up a bit…

My wife and I have really enjoyed playing Wingspan. Fun, competitive (but not cutthroat), and gorgeous.

Productive day in the cold:
- worked with the fam on some tidying projects
- cleaned some food out of the pantry that’s been there long enough
- played some Uno Flip with my daughter
- updated my navigation and social links on my personal website matthewcanderson.com
- caught up on my paper journal
Another one of those chilly days today… Grateful to have a nice warm home and the choice to stay in.

Got out for a nice ππ today, even though it’s cold out there. Wrapping a light mileage week after a race, feeling stronger each day, will continue ramping this week.

Cub Scouts ice fishing day was a bust, but H said “that’s okay…let’s make our own fun.” So we did π
Watched The Instigators πΏπ
I’ve started back into A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan π I’d made good progress through book 6 of the series, but paused a couple of years back when I changed roles at work. Excited to be back at it.
I felt ready to get out running again today… my Garmin agreed (after a couple days at 1 then 19). It’s a lot colder out back home in Minny compared to Arizona. Still glad to get back out there!

I’m hoping I’ll be recovered enough to get out running tomorrow. Signs are good based on the game of tag with my kids tonight π
Using the recovery room at my running gym. Normatec sleeves have been a great help to get my legs get back to normal after a race.

Ran the Black Canyon Ultras 50K today! What a blast..but now I’m exhausted π½πββ‘οΈπͺ¨πππππ₯£π
