    I ran my first half marathon in over 4 years this morning. I used the Garmin suggested workouts to train for the race and felt very well prepared. My default is just to do lots of easy miles when training, so I appreciated the various types of runs the watch suggested.

    My initial goal when I signed up for the race was 1:45, and this morning my Garmin said I was in 1:42 shape. I went out with a goal of 1:40 and finished around 1:39:30, even with a slight detour that added about 2 tenths of a mile to my race. 😂

    I'll have a pretty light week next week and think about what to train for next.

    35 km this week, though I may run later today. I've had higher weeks lately but have a half marathon coming up so I'm in the taper phase

    I've got a half marathon coming up in a few weeks (my longest race since a marathon in 2019). I'm near the end of my "peak phase" on my Garmin training plan so another week or two of highish mileage then a taper to the race.

    My current goal is sub 1:45. My Garmin says I'm in 1:43:xx shape. I'm not sure how much weight to give the watch's prediction since I've only done 5K races so far this year.

    This site has a crowd sourced list of apps that includes their compatibility on deGoogled Android devices.

    Personally, I've had very few issues with apps not working, and banking/productivity apps haven't given me issues on CalyxOS, but your mileage may vary

    I highly recommended Dragomino. Similar gameplay as Kingdomino, but without the building restrictions and the egg collecting introduces enough chance to level the playing field

  • I updated to 0.0.35 today and get this server version every time the app is opened. Is this a bug? My home server administrator told me that 0.17.4 is the most current server version

    Dolphins' Hill investigated in alleged altercation
    www.espn.com

    MIAMI -- Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is under investigation on allegations of assault/battery at a Miami Beach marina, a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department said Tuesday. According to WPLG-TV in Miami, Hill allegedly hit a marina employee during a "disagreement" that took place Sunday. Miami sports radio show host Andy Slater reported that Hill slapped the employee on the back of the head, but that the employee has declined to press charges at this time. The Dolphins released a statement through a spokesperson, acknowledging the reported incident. "We are aware of the situation and have been in contact with Tyreek, his representatives and the NFL," the Dolphins said in the statement. "We will reserve further comment at this time." Hill is entering his second season with the Dolphins after spending the first six of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs.

    I don't listen to anything while riding my bike. Since I'm going faster and am going with car traffic, I like to be as aware as possible. If I was riding somewhere away from cars, the calculation might be a little different.

    How far is the drive to the train station? You could try going down to just a bike and train commute since the bike only commute is too far right now

    To be clear, you're saying to return the book in the Libby app on a smartphone but leave the ereader in airplane mode?
