Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
Atlanta’s growth model is dying—choked by the escalating costs of housing and autocentric transportation, alongside wages that can’t keep up. No simple fix will transform this vicious cycle into a virtuous one. But some guiding principles should guide our search for reinvention.
Yesterday I raced the Refuge Coffee Run. It was a struggle, but I won my age group.
Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s California-Style Orange Chicken from The Wok cookbook.
The end result was good. How it could not be? 4 stars ★★★★☆
Went to Mother’s Best with Megan for lunch. I had the lunch special chicken sandwich which was fried chicken tenders on “Georgia toast” (Texas toast) with fries. It was good! Kind of like an indie Zaxby’s.
I last minute signed up for the Refuge Coffee Run.
I finished my most recent 5k in 23:14 at 73°F which is a VDOT of 42.9. Tomorrow’s race temp is supposed to be 67°F which would be a VDOT equivalent of 23:01 or 7:24/mi average pace.
I’m going to aim for 7:30 for the first mile, and then pick up the pace each subsequent mile.
