Our Lyft Saga

 We went to the Railbird festival and needed to get back to our hotel, 5 miles away.  We left early to avoid the crowds and had reserved a ride the day before.  The concert was in the area that looks like a horse racing track.



The event organizers arranged for ride shares to pick-up in chutes set up in the grassy area SW of the track and it was working well, but our driver wanted us to go here:



After half an hour of futzing around, he never showed up.  My wife called a new ride and he wanted us to go here:



He also never showed up, though we walked to that location.  I used my phone to try another one, from about where the coffee cup  is.  He also never showed up.  Finally, we continued walking toward our hotel to here:


We quickly got a ride and were back at our hotel, about 2 hours later than planned.

Catching-Up On Running

I like to get in 60 miles of running per month, but it can be a challenge sometimes.  The month started with a trip to Kentucky and I got in no running.  Today, I was 9-days behind schedule (round to 2 miles per day)  Now that I'm back from an 8-miler, I'm only 5-days behind.

If I do another 8-miler on Thu the 11th, I will be 3-days behind and if I do the same on Sat the 13th, I will be down to 1-day behind.

There is hope!

Note: I normally alternate 4 and 8 mile runs but I'm so far behind, it will be (schedule permitting) 8-mile runs until I am back on track.

Wordle 1580

 


It went against all my instincts to not enter VOUCH for the last try, but after 1580 games, I know their ways--they loves them some using the same rare letter twice.
