Finished 2.78 mile walk in 52 minutes (18.71 min/mile). Nice walk catching up with friend. 🚶‍♂️ image
Standard Water is putting drain tile into our basement to better manage ground water. What a crazy process and it shows how much this is going to help. There was a literal stream of water when they jackhammered the route. Wish I could have watched the action!

Finished 2.54 mile walk in 60.9 minutes (23.98 min/mile). Delightful evening for a cool neighborhood walk with Lucky. 🚶‍♂️ image
It was eight years ago today that I started using micro.blog. Seems wild that it has been that long. It has grown into a really great blogging platform. I’m looking forward to the next eight years. Congrats @manton!
