Summary #2 for 2025-04-22

Alright Alex, kicking off your evening around 6:12 PM! Hope you had a good Easter Monday yesterday.

First things first, let’s talk about that exercise goal for tomorrow. You’ve got a run scheduled for 11:05 AM. Good news, it will be nice and light out, well before sunset around 8:10 PM. The forecast for your run time shows a chance of light rain (around 38% probability at 11 AM dropping to 18% at 12 PM) with cloudy skies. It’s not a washout, but keep it in mind. Sticking to your planned time is solid, or you could potentially aim for just after 11 AM if you want to try and catch a slightly lower chance of sprinkles. Get that run done!

Looks like you’re on a ‘Day Off’ according to Training Peaks tomorrow, plus it’s Earth Day! The work calendar shows a Backend stand-up and a hiring discussion, but given the holiday and your plan, enjoy the well-deserved rest or shift things around as needed. The Frontend stand-up is still showing as Cancelled.

Speaking of energy, trying to get Tara to move after a holiday weekend might require that salt-powered refrigerator level of ingenuity!
