Whereas we had an inch during the day and another inch since midnight.

waves of showers today, no thunder but heavier rain at times. Around an inch so far. Another day without having to water.

the 2 closest online Davis stations are at .89 and 1.0 so far today. Seems about right or a tad low based on the water in the pots, etc. Sadly I sit pretty much in the middle of two stations and one is out. The 1.0 is a bit further away.

Before I met her, my wife was stung in her eye. 30 years later she still feels the effect at times but not because of the sting itself. When she was stung in the eye, she was driving. She promptly drove into a telephone pole and went through the windshield. Her neck and shoulders still get sore leading to headaches. I think once she hit the pole the sting was no longer the issue.

Is there actually a circulation with the fog bank off ME and NH? I don't know that I have ever noticed that before. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-Vermont-02-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

Hint: do not go for a run until it has passed.

It is actually really nice in BTV at the moment. Sun is out and the wind is strong enough to make the air not feel muggy.

We went the route of a Concept 2 Rowing Machine earlier this summer as I am under orders not to run for the foreseeable future. I am really enjoying it, which I hope is not just the novelty factor, but am still at the stage of rebuilding my fitness and adjusting to the new stressor.

Nope, I'm male. When I hear about chafed or bloodied nipples it is with male runners. Off the top of my head, it could be for two reasons: a. The fabric with bras tends to be less of an issue for chafing than with shirts or b. men whine more about such things. 3 ways I would address it/prevent it: 1. run shirtless 2. use body glide (vaseline would stain my shirts and the marks would make it look like lactation stains) 3. band aids (often in addition to body glide)

The ingredients for me tend to be cool weather, longer run, shirt wet from rain or sweat. Bodyglide pre-run usually mitigates the risk, so does my podiatrists I can't run at the moment (9+ months at this point)

Staying with the Good Morning Vietnam theme:

Running in a warm rain, however can be fantastic, especially shirtless. One hazard or downside that can crop up however happened to me years ago. I was in the middle of a fantastic run a number of years ago while visiting my parents in Princeton. It was pouring and I was just carrying my drenched shirt at the point I reached campus. I looked down around that time and saw bubbles going down both legs. Apparently the last time I had washed them, my running shorts did not rinse properly so when the rain soaked into them, the remaining detergent decided to create a sea of froth down my thighs. I had to keep stopping to wipe them off with the drenched t-shirt. Lightning is dangerous, wind makes runs awful unless you can do a point to point with it at your back the whole way.

Glad you made it. Lightning and wind were the only two conditions I hated running in. (For different reasons)

Tropical Storm James incoming?

You could have gone for the Independence Day themed gif: Meanwhile there is a nice looking storm right where NY/Mass/ and Vermont come together.
