Wordle 1600

If the puzzle looks weird--I'm on a work trip and didn't want to bring my home computer, so had to do the puzzle on my phone.

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.
