Poor sleep recently so maybe that’s why Garmin suggested 22 mins slow, which I just ignored and then weirdly set a new PB around the lake. Lovely misty conditions.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
