Darn, our 55k Tesla got stranded today at home as suddenly nothing worked anymore and, of course, our roadside assistance just went out of coverage.
After watching a YT video I could open the frunk with a 9V battery and then use a spare car battery to charge the 12V car battery of the Tesla and, yes, the Tesla has a car battery.
After the Tesla came back to life it sent me an alert that the battery is about to die - perfect timing Tesla.
Race Weekend is upon me - another installment of San Diego Rock’n’Roll Marathon next Sunday early morning.
It’s now 17 weeks since I started the marathon training and it’s time that this comes to an end - victory lap.
It's the time of year again to book a Hotel Room in San Diego for the Rock’n Roll Marathon on June 2nd 2024.
Looking forward to it even though there are around 360 miles to run till then
When it comes to running (training) I am a lone wolf so I don't have to deal with scheduling issues, people not showing up or not running what I want / have planned.
That said in my last marathon I learned that running together is a powerful instrument against mental fatigue.
So when the Messy Happy (https://www.thismessyhappy.com/coaching/18-week-marathon-training-plan-accountability-monthly) announced they would do a Spring Marathon plan as a group I was sold. It will be fun to share experiences, learn from others and get my own efforts and shortcomings into a better framework than with pro-runners / YT doing it for a living.
I am excited to push my own boundaries with a 1/2 faster goal time, longer per-week milage and double days.

I got my Covid booster yesterday and even though the last night’s sleep was bad and now I’m shivering and have muscle soreness the side effects are minor compared to the previous ones
For the 3rd time I got injured (lightly) in my hamstring and this seems to be recurring issue when I try to run fast.
This time, tough, I signed up for Exakt Health app to rehab and it works pretty well. I finally get to the point where I take the Strength and Conditioning of running serious and make it part of the plan and not just a nice-to-have.
Republicans will force a 10-year-old to carry her rapist’s baby to term, let a 6-year-old carry a gun, permit a 12-year-old to work an 8-hour shift in a meat packing plant and allow a grown man to marry a 14-year-old with a Judge’s consent, all while telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender-affirming care and books about Rosa Parks is that they want to "protect our kids."
Scalded 17% and used 84% hydration. Scalded flour was whole wheat - the rest was an a p. I let it rise in a Pullman pan bowl overnight and it rose more than expected and I damaged the top removing the Pullman top before baking (which I did because it rose too much) will try again later I. The week
Thank goodness for good friends - Mark suggested "Navy Bean Soup" and it reminded me that I was going to try making the Rancho Gordo Senate Bean soup: https://www.ranchogordo.com/blogs/recipes/senate-bean-soup
Senate Bean Soup

This soup was made famous in Washington D.C., almost. For this easy soups recipe, use Rancho Gordo Dried Heirloom beans.
