Currently reading: Dominion by Tom Holland 📚

Finished reading: Calamity by Brandon Sanderson 📚

Another fun read from Sanderson! Such an enjoyable take on the superhero genre.

Today we celebrated our nephew Kyle marrying Lindsey. It was the culmination of an amazing weekend here in Jeffersonville, IN.

Knocked out my “Long Easy Run” for the week. I did a 5 minute warm up at 3.5 mph. Jogged 40 minutes uninterrupted at 1% incline and 11:45/mile pace. Then jogged 10 minutes at the same pace at 0% incline. Finished with 5 minutes at 3.5 mph.
