@LUFC1992_v2 You could ride out the storm in Portillo’s and try a chocolate cake shake!

@LUFC1992_v2 I’m so unbelievably happy that you went to Wally’s… now you need to hit Buc-ee’s at some point!

@coachjayjohnson @MCHSXC kids log summer miles on paper logs for mileage T-shirt purposes, though many use Strava and copy down mileage totals at the end of summer.

No mileage logs in track, but I do keep a spreadsheet with every kids’ workouts and my own notes from June-Nov and then Dec-May.

Once in a while I slow down enough on my weekend runs to appreciate just how stunning my local trails are. #blessed
