Another 12 miles today & 436 miles this year (with gym) - a mere pittance but that's how i roll, baby: old people power: engage!

not one of my better nights - ah well, it's gonna be 90-something here & the birds out the back window are in a good mood - no complaints

words i thought i would never say: "that was a quick 9.8-miler"; there's a touch of summer out there, too

today is shaping up to be awesome - think i'll bike to the gym & remind myself why i hate working out indoors #smells

biked to work and should have picked up that free coffee - on the upside, feeling pretty good in a zombie kind of way

26+ miles total & 1270+ useless calories burned today - new outdoor records - maybe just maybe i'll sleep tonight ;)
