it took a bit a planning before starting, and all the questions you asked were factors in whether i would be able to do it. My job does have gym facilities on the premises and i do pack a change of clothes every day i run to work.

in my office i left some daily essentials like a small toiletries bag, a pair of shoes, emergency pair of socks, towel, and some snacks.

Choosing the right bag i felt was very important. i looked for a bag that was very light and had many anchor points so it wouldn’t move around while running. found the perfect bag - Flash22 by REI and is big enough to fit my clothes, 1-2 small electronics, and a bento. Thats about it because if i put anything more into it the bag becomes a burden. Planning out my pack was essential to make this enjoyable.

Some other things i prepped/tested:

I work mostly on computers, and since i am limited with bringing tech home due to space and weight, i made it so i could remote into any of my work devices before i started running.

i ‘raced’ the bus that stops by my home to see if i could beat it to the station. given it makes 10 stops, and i was able to take direct paths, it ended up with me being to the station a few minutes before. if i wouldve been outpaced greatly i dont think id have started.

probably my favorite bonus is that my daily run fits better into my schedule. When i get off work i hardly have time to do a run because i have to tend to my child. I’ll take him on stroller jogs, but sometimes that is a pain after a long day of work. so being able to squeeze in my commuting as my workout activity is really nice for time management.

If im not running i have an escooter, but as the weather changes ill like switch more to running.

im fortunate to be able to do this, and if youre able to id highly recommend giving it a shot!

i stopped commuting to work in my car and switched to a motocompacto + public transit. Probably one of the best decisions ive made this year. while it was a little up front investment, i have since paid it off with no longer having to pay for downtown parking. im also a one car home and i would prefer my wife have some easy access to a vehicle should an emergency happen with me or my kiddo.

love riding the moto every morning to the metro line, packing it up and out of the way of other commuters. anecdotally, it really does seem like more scooters and assisted bikes are on the road in my area. though that could just be due to the season.

the change would not be ideal for many, but it fit my needs perfectly.

2 months ago fell down the stairs and landed with all my weight onto my left large toe. figured it would’ve healed within a week, but here we are. missed my planned half, but there is always next year. Now its time to get back into a routine. Thankfully my work is hosting a step competition this month and i intend to run commute starting tomorrow!

this from ancient aliens on the sega genesis???

like ham radio? i think you can find affordable radios to listen, but in order communicate i recall you need like a radio communication license. at least in the USA

wouldn’t have expected this to be a wiki entry but now I’m curious what other animals could he burdened by this circumstance

just followed up after seeing your comment. someone was called out for assistance.

when i was a child, i was told that i would get worms if i ate raw brown sugar. i believed this for quite some time at least until i was 12.

what constitutes for a disc golf cap? Honestly didn’t know a thing existed

baseball cap yesterday while playing disc golf

our first child has turned a year old and it is amazing how my wife takes care of things with child in hand. I couldn’t be more proud at the mother shes become so far!

i had a friend who cosplayed as ironman and to sort of help guide/handle him i cosplayed as a s.h.i.e.l.d agent. mainly walked in front of him and prevented people from touching him because he was on some stilts to appear larger. then helped with taking photos with fans. my cosplay was pretty easy. Just a suit and a laminated badge hehe

I recently got my wife a sewing machine and cosplaying was a good creative avenue. She made a cosplay of Bulma from Dragonball. it was really cool and her own take given her skills. She wants to do another Bulma outfit but likely one from DBZ.

maybe just a little more clarity, but now im second guessing myself. cant go wrong with either and im not sure why i called out the remaster specifically, maybe cuz it is just in my rotation a lot

Pretty Hate Machine Remastered - Nine Inch Nails

i like that the controller is true to the DC design. though retro fighters modern wireless DC controller is pretty great despite its own quirks.

seems like this is also taking the approach where the VMU will be part of the wireless dongle. must be a challenge to get the sounds and ui to work well wirelessly.

Cool nonetheless

so many recommendations already said and im sure many more to go.

Three that i didnt see mentioned that i enjoyed were:

Martyrs- French Version The Visit Session 9

Scenes from martyrs have been memed out of context so i think its fairly familiar. i hadnt watched it until recently and i think one time through was good enough for me. i’m not into a lot of torture style suspense.

The visit was particularly scary for me because If you’ve ever been in that scenario of being dropped off with familial strangers those initial reservations you have running through your head do make you uncomfortable and blossom into horrific thoughts. in the case of this movie a bit more so ;)

Session 9 i watched during the golden age of netflix. it isnt amazing but it was enjoyable.

haven’t thought about these games in ages!

Pablo is the GOAT of the franchise easily.

i got new shoes! i had been running in adidas ultra boosts, but they’re on their way out. i picked up Adidas Boston 12.

Sadly i fell down my stairs at the beginning of last week and hurt my toe. putting me out of commission. i think by midweek ill be ready to go out again and try my new shoes.
