A short ride around the block this morning, more a check mark than a workout, but it counts toward the fourteen I’ve set as October’s goal. The heat arrived today too, the start of a week-long stretch that will make the rest of those rides harder to talk myself into. In the evening I’ve been back on Ace Combat 8, grinding credits while dinner cooks, which is about as low a stakes as a cockpit gets and exactly why it’s fun.
