2024-08 Checkup – Running and starting the school year

Events

August has been a whirlwind, packed with a lot of running, events, and some cool milestones. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to this month:

Running Stats

This month has been all about hitting the pavement. I managed to squeeze in quite a few runs, with distances ranging from a quick 3.25 miles to a solid 9 miles. My times varied too, with some runs lasting around 30 minutes and others stretching over an hour and a half. My longest runs were on August 24 (8 miles) and August 31 (9 miles). Maybe I should find a marathon to train for?

Events & Happenings

  • August 3: Kicked things off by grabbing some delicious food at City Barbeque in Findlay, OH.
  • August 10: Enjoyed Lake Day — with Ken, Jason, Sherry, and Chad.
  • August 20: Had a museum board meeting, working on some network upgrades.
  • August 27: Tried something totally new—I did my first-ever stand-up at Two Dollar Radio Headquarters in Columbus for Rough Drafts hosted by Rochelle. It was a ton of fun, I can’t wait to do it again.
  • August 28: Got a much-needed haircut to wrap up the month in style.

Social Highlights

It’s not all about work and running! I managed to fit in some quality social time too. On August 17, I helped Grace move back to college in Akron. Then, on August 30, I had dinner with Grace and Tara at Ralphies in Kenton as we prepared for a week at the fair. And to top it off, I had Tara and I ate Culver’s while on a Krogering runn on August 31.

Milestone Moment

Tara and I started the first day with students on the 21st, year 33 for her and year 29 for me!

On August 19, I hit a pretty big milestone — I now have 2,000 subscribers on my Eduk8Me email list! It feels like a small but important step forward, and I’m excited to keep growing.

Wrapping Up

August has been a great mix of personal milestones, fitness achievements, and trying new things. I can’t wait to see what September has in store. Stay tuned!
