Bitcoin has gone crazy this year. That is more than a 10x price change in the last year, most of it in the last month! Doesn’t seem correlated to anything of measurable value. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ’Έ

We take Lucky on a walk nearly every day and usually go through Pamela Park for a 1.2 to 1.6 mile loop. With the pandemic the ice rink and ponds have been very busy with lots of skaters. It makes the walk more fun to see people out and having fun. β›ΈπŸ’

I got my Peloton β€œCooldown 2020” video this weekend. I think its fun that they make these and kudos to them for making them easy to download and keep. #FitByFifty

New 60-min Peloton PR

I hit a new 60-min PR in Matt Wilpers Power Zone Endurance Ride this morning. 676 kJ versus my previous 653 kJ from Sep 26, 2020.

It was another Zone 2 / 3 ride but I leveled it up since I felt like my zone data is a little old. I need to do a new FTP test! I spent a lot of time in the higher end of Zone 4. You can see that the last 3 efforts my power faded a bit. I was definitely feeling it in my legs.

My heart rate was at Threshold for 67% of the ride and bursted into Max Capacity during the efforts toward the end. You can see I was a bit gassed as my heart rate was climbing and power was dropping in those final efforts.

It was a great ride and I was joined by a number of friends riding live as well. I’m a big fan of Peloton Live Rides, it encourages you to push and make the most of it. #FitByFifty

This seems like a moment in time worth noting. The founder of Facebook and one of the richest people in the world (also holding special shares of stock that makes him unaccountable) just banned the President of the United States from the biggest social platform in the world, with very good reason. These are very odd times.

My daughter gave me this great workout shirt for my birthday and my Fit By Fifty project. I absolutely love it. 🀩 One year to go!

CTO Spotlight: Candid Conversations wth Minnesotan Leaders

I got a chance to join Jac Stark and Nels Pederson of Tech.MN for this CTO Spotlight conversation. We covered a wide range of topics. It was a good conversation. We recorded this in August 2020, but it didn’t get published until December.

We all watched Soul tonight and liked it a lot. The story, message, visuals were all awesome! We will definitely watch it again. 🍿

We had a fabulous afternoon XC skiing at Theodore Wirth today. It was our first time out as a family, and we had a blast!

Watched Ad Astra tonight. Enjoyed it. It was pretty much what I expected, which was just fine with me. πŸΏπŸš€
