Finished reading: Silent Prey by John Sandford 📚
Enjoying the calmness of the lake after a busy (and beautiful) day out there. The community here delayed the amateur fireworks to tonight, so feeling ready for sparks and booms. 🎆🎇
Finished reading: Past Tense by Lee Child 📚
28 Years Later 🍿🎥 was better than I expected.
First time experience: I was the only car left in the Drive-In watching this through to the end (final movie of the night). Everyone else left before it started or during the movie. I suppose it was late…
F1 🍿🎥was a fun movie but the stakes seemed low both for individual characters and the collective. Favorite character was the investor, who reminded me of the blood sucking lawyer in the original Jurassic Park.
Finished reading: The Third Option by Vince Flynn 📚
Was reminded by @ericmwalk that I too was very close to a deer on a recent run. Adding here for posterity. 🏃🦌
I just learned about Libro.fm and it looks great. Anyone have experiences (good or bad) that they’d like to share?
I’m not an Audible user, but I do use Libby for content from my local library system, probably 4 audiobooks per month. I’d be looking to augment my Libby usage, not replace.
Finished reading: The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson 📚 First time reading a Sanderson novel, excited for more!
The Wierd Al show at Treasure Island last night was fantastic! He’s still crushing it and full of energy.
I put together a playlist of his set to commemorate the night.
“The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.” Love this quote from The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson 📖
Got the kids to watch The Muppet Movie 🍿🎥 with me. They’re finally old enough to sit through a slower-paced feature-length movie and it makes me so happy!
Final cub scout meeting of this year, what a gorgeous evening for it! Sunny, 70’s, and a light breeze.
Feeling energized after Kettle 100k, thinking about swapping out Voyageur 50mi and replacing with the Badger 100mi. I’m still planning on Superior 50mi after Labor Day. 🤔💭🏃 I have another 8 days to decide…
Got back out running this morning. I expected a longer recovery after my first 100k, but I’m feeling good! I felt like I could have tried on Tuesday, but forced myself to wait until today. The Waiting was the hardest part. 🏃🌻
Finished reading: Extreme Measures by Vince Flynn 📚 started and finished this one during my recent race. 🎧🏃
Finished reading: Prey by Michael Crichton 📚 interesting reading this in 2025, with the discussion of AI and Agentic system design. Now we’re discussing software agents instead of contemplating nanotech. Fun read.
Amazing day running the Kettle Moraine 100k. I felt great and finished ahead of my goal time. Grateful for my family and Crew joining for the day as well as the very cooperative weather 🌞🏃🔔
