First Frozen Beard Run of 2021

This morning was a longer interval run, and it it was a lot colder than it has been, thus the frozen beard. It tool me a bit to get going this morning but I fought the urge to go back to bed and got out there and got it done.

    Monday Morning Recovery Run

    What started out being a pretty easy going run turned out to be much faster than I had expected. I was checking my heart rate the whole time and only once did it rise just a hair past 150. My pace just ended up being what it was based on how I ended up doing with my heart rate. What’s encouraging to me is to see what appears to be my heart health getting better. I feel God has definitely blessed me through my running. Honestly, one of the big helpers with my runs is listening to a worship workout album. There are moments when I am so focused on the song that I forget about the running. I did take some time this morning…
  • Choosing To Run

    This morning was one of those where after the alarm went off I had to convince myself to get up and get ready to run instead of going back to bed. I have never been a morning person, so for me to look for an excuse to stay longer in bed, instead of getting up at 4am, is no surprise. Every day is a series of choices and I’m glad today I won the battle between my bed and the road. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

    Expanding The Meaning Of Running For Water

    So this morning, after making it about a quarter of a mile from home, I realized I had forgotten to grab my water when I walked out the door. At that point I really didn’t feel like going back home and starting my run over. The first half of the run was OK, but the second half was a bit more of a struggle without my water, making my #Run4Water mean even more than normal. As I continued through my run, #WhyIRun was at the forefront of my mind. My struggle doesn’t even compare to the daily struggle for clean water that those in Sierra Leone, Africa face. I had the benefit of a virtually unlimited supply of water waiting for me after the run….

    A Well Changes The Future For A Village

    Help me impact 19 more people with just $255 more to go. Don’t delay! https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Putting a well in a village that has no reliable source of water, let alone clean water, has major long-term impacts. A village with a well becomes a source of hope, even for people not native to that village. It puts that village on a path of prosperity and growth.

  1. Coming back to this after-the-fact, I’m realizing that it’s a pretty cool way to do exercise posts. I used to have a better way of doing these myself, and this is a great reminder. You should definitely post the example to the IndieWeb wiki when you get a chance: https://indieweb.org/exercise.
    When you’ve got a chance, take a look at your h-card so that when you end up sending webmentions to others your name, website, and avatar parse and show up correctly. You can test with https://indiewebify.me/
    Glad to have another WordPress IndieWeb site in the world!

    1. Thanks, I’ll look into my `h-card` settings, I think I have some pieces I may have disabled at some point due to other conflicts. Something that is interesting is that your comment has a syndication URL back to your old WordPress.com site. I’m not sure if that’s a result of the JetPack comments as well, so that might be another piece to run down. I may just need to give up on JetPack comments.

  2. I do syndicate copies of some of my articles and notes back to the old .com site, in part as a back up as well as for a small number of people who only follow me there. There is a recent glitch since the update to 5.6 that’s causing some of my other posts to syndicate across as well, but they’re all done as private posts (I think). I should have that issue sorted sometime this week.
    I’ll also note that the microformats mark up in your comments section is a tad off, so that you replies from your comment section are sending webmentions, but when parsed, I’m getting the original post back instead of your comment. I’ve duplicated it on my site, so you can see the “odd one” that came through as well as the duplicate which is what most would expect.
    In my opinion it’s these small and unexpected microformats glitches in the WordPress (Theme) space that are preventing a more massive uptake of the plugins. But once it’s working, being able to do a cross site conversation from post-to-post and comment-section-to comment section is rather nice and elegant!

    1. Yeah, I also made the mistake of not realizing that my reply actually made it back to your site. So I submitted manually my reply URL. Hopefully I can get more of this sorted out and have a bit more elegant solution as well.
