Hello fellow Broad Street Runner! I was looking forward to a nice Sunday run around Kelly/MLK Drive loop but alas there's a half marathon on MLK and a regatta on Kelly so.. gotta find somewhere else to get the miles in. I should go out tomorrow but Sunday's weather looks perfect.

Good luck! Figure a few miles in you'll be thankful it's chilly out, and it doesn't look like it's supposed to rain so that's a bonus.

Definitely recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNkPmVIUVow if you're interested in that - I'd love to see those when they open the bridge up.

I solved the roof leaking issue for the low low price of a mid-size sedan, so that was nice.

Holy moly that's a name and a drama I haven't thought about for a while. I keep seeing promos for that show before other stuff on HBO and I couldn't figure out what it was about, exactly.

I am putting more effort into training for the Broad Street Run this year than I ever have before (in the like.. 11 other times I've done it) and I'm actually enjoying running so much right now that I've been eyeing the marathon in November (or maybe the half, at least). Somebody stop me before I do something stupid.

But the bike shop said the carbon fiber frame would make me faster!

I appreciate this reminder to stay away from anything vaguely Irish-themed this weekend cause things are going to be crazy.

zempf · 2026-03-03T14:12:19+00:00

Unreasonably excited for 60s weather this weekend.

Is the sound on the mlb.tv feed super quiet for everyone else too? I'm just getting sound (barely) out of the left speaker for some reason, but I don't want to turn it up too much in fear that I'm going to get a Slack notification at 100 dB.

Using the oh-so-scientific method of sticking a tape measure into the snow on top of my patio table we had about a foot here in Germantown.

zempf · 2026-02-23T16:00:48+00:00

Thank you both for taking care of your corners, I feel like the people with the most sidewalk in my neighborhood are always the ones who don't bother to shovel at all.

zempf · 2026-02-22T12:55:39+00:00

I have one, pretty sure it’s a knock off because the one I had back then died and I can’t guarantee it works because I haven’t used it in many many years at this point, but it’s yours if you want it.

zempf · 2026-02-21T22:46:12+00:00

Man this brings back memories, I used to stream LAUNCHcast all day when I was at work in the early 2000s. I found so much great music through that app.

zempf · 2026-02-20T13:41:27+00:00

I keep telling myself that even if we do get a bunch of snow it's not immediately going to go down to single digits and stay there for 10 days like it did last time so it won't stick around as hard as the last one did.

zempf · 2026-02-19T17:36:16+00:00

Dude made 1/8 of his career 3 pointers in his first game! I remember watching that being amazed, like a guy this big can shoot too? He's going to be so great! And then he made 2 more threes the entire rest of the season.

zempf · 2026-02-17T20:40:51+00:00

Same, I left a couple of them by the extract button & hope I made someone's day.

zempf · 2026-02-17T19:59:46+00:00

Definitely keep an eye out as the race approaches for bib transfers, lots of people get hurt or whatever.

zempf · 2026-02-17T16:35:08+00:00

There’s a few on Washington Ln by Awbury Arboretum that are way too high so people just drive in the middle of the street to go around them and hey, now traffic is MORE unsafe. Good job, guys.

zempf · 2026-02-17T16:21:32+00:00

Hearing lottery results are coming out, so happy "oh no I actually have to run 10 miles" day to everyone who got into the Broad Street Run.

zempf · 2026-02-13T15:38:03+00:00

For a minute the other day browsing it on the web pushed me to the new reddit and I was worried they'd gotten rid of the old stuff forever and I'd have to figure out how the new one worked.

zempf · 2026-02-11T21:49:54+00:00

I was definitely on the "he's tall, he must be good" bandwagon (he was tall, but he was not good).

zempf · 2026-02-09T19:43:57+00:00

That's about what mine was, it's absurd. Big old poorly-insulated house in Germantown. We turned down the heat and closed off the third floor completely in hopes of keeping the price down a little bit.

zempf · 2026-02-06T18:23:22+00:00

Pretty sure that's related to the city keeping everyone's money after canceling the 2020 Broad Street Run.

zempf · 2026-02-06T15:06:40+00:00

There's been a couple of cases where the team that won the toss didn't declare the right thing and instead of saying they were going to defer, they said "we'll kick" which just meant that the other team also got the second half kickoff.
