Feeling great today. Yesterday was my longest cumulative run yet at 7.2 miles (2mi in the morning and 5.2mi in the afternoon). Never thought I’d be at this level when I started running six months ago. Yesterday was also a really productive day, overall. Let's do it again today!

I think I’m going back to an immersion chiller instead of a plate chiller when I start brewing again. The plate chiller is a bit of a hassle to ensure that it’s sanitized, and the beer stands at >180° for far too long while it’s being transferred to the fermentor. Also, immersion chillers are way easier to clean and sanitize, and I can eliminate a few steps and pumps in the process. 🍻

Today I bought prescription Wayfarer sunglasses. This may seem trivial to you, but for me, it means that I’m actually happy with my body. In the past, I’d put Wayfarers on and think that my face was too fat to wear them. Analyze that if you want, but that’s how I felt. It was awesome trying on a pair and thinking “finally!”...finally.

Chips and hummus are great, but I think that in terms of healthier eating, baby carrots just might be the perfect vehicle to deliver hummus into my gullet.
