KEEN Utility Sales

Last day to of our ecochallenge.  

Took the dog for a walk to clear the zoom from my head.

Long run day from St. Marks home.

Only a few days left. Keep earning those points.

Stuart bridge run.  Tried to run the Kipplinger trail but with all the rain it was ankle deep in mud.

Ran 4 miles in the Stuart 'hood.

I was on vacation last week, so didn't log on much.  However, we traveled to Arizona to visit family.  Usually we fly, but this time we drove (750 miles), mostly to avoid the airports during the pandemic, but it also had a benefit of reducing our airline impact.  It's much cheaper to drive to Arizona that to purchase 4 round trip tickets.

It still gets pretty warm during the afternoons in my area, but I have found that by opening the house early in the morning and dropping the inside temperature, I can avoid using the AC at all during this time of year.  It's usually in the mid 50s in the mornings and gets up to the 90s in the afternoons.

I have stopped using my phone right before bed, which saves about 10-30 minutes of screen time and allows for more sleep.  Instead of reading on my phone I will read a magazine or book, but don't make it too far before falling asleep anyways.

I have found so far that not using my phone right before bed helps me fall asleep faster, which equates to about 10-30 minutes extra sleep per night.
