I love making soups. I feel I can really get creative with them. I start with anything that needs to be eaten from the fridge or just some ingredients that suit my fancy and then figure out what to add.

I don't talk much about football on this blog, but I will say it's my favorite sport. I know it wasn't the highest scoring game or had the most exciting plays, but I quite enjoyed the Superbowl. I think

I knew my day would be busy so I got a good 4 mile run in today in the morning. A little frustrating how I’m not showing as much improvement as I’d like. I guess it’s just a bit harder to improve at my

No run today but I did get a ton of walking in today. The Actifit measurements seem a little weird as I got more activity for walking three miles than running 4... well I guess that will remain a mystery

I managed to hit Diamond III on the last day of the competition. It was actually a bit anti-climatic because I won't on a forfeit. I certainly am getting the hang of the game. I am excited to see what

I got another four mile run in today. I feel so much better after this one. It actually gave me energy unlike yesterday. Tomorrow will be a rest day and then I will get after it again. Next I’ve got to

Well I surprised myself yesterday by hitting Gold I. I just shot up there. Seems to me the competition gets quite a bit harder up about this level. Settled into a bit of a rhythm here. Seems like level

I got a 4 mile run in today. I didn’t feel like I’d improved but I did break the eleven mile average for the run. I know that is not awesome but it’s an improvement for me. I do feel really tired tonight

So the competition went well. I’ll write more about it tomorrow. Most of my exercise was walking around the venue and cleaning house. Nothing too exciting. Tomorrow will probably be one more light day

They’ve started the first matches. Very exciting!

Once again I am volunteering at a FTC robotics competition. This time it is the Midwest regional League Championship. Should be a fun day of competition. I hope at least one of my two teams can progress

Today was mostly a day of rest after my competition week. Took a few walks but nothing serious. Had a lot of in this evening in a trivia contest fundraiser. I will have to do that again sometime. 6016

I briefly dipped into the Gold III level! Things have certainly gotten harder and I'm noticing that I'm facing people with equivalent level of cards. Most of my commonly used monsters are lvl 3 with a

I made another four mile run today. It was super slow because my body was just worn out, but I am glad I did it. Just finished a week long Apple Watch competition with a friend so I pushed myself hard

I am very tired now. After having to grade late last night, 10 hours of work and a 4 mile run I am about fried. Still it felt great to get a four miler in. Going to try and make that a regular occurrence.

Finally stopped raining this evening so I snuck in a 2.5 mile night run. I certainly don’t run as fast on those as I am a little wary, but I think the exercise is still good for me. Hitting 40 has certainly

So I shot up to Silver 1 pretty quickly as well. Things are starting to get hard for me around the 1650 range now, so I think I might have hit the level of my card quality. I think the level caps in bronze

Well that was very interesting. After struggling to hit Silver 3, this morning I just hot streaked my way to Silver 2 in less than a half an hour! I've been wracking my brain and I can't figure out the

I had a okay day with regards to my exercise... my run got cut short by other duties bioinformatics managed to work in a couple of walks to balance it out. I am a little annoyed at myself because I had

Whew, that was a hard slog. I'm not terribly consistent with having time to play, but I was working on hitting Silver. It had this weird issue where every time I hit 950 I kept hitting really good decks
