This weekend, I decided to run to all the schools in our combined district.
Starting at one end - Bristol Plymouth Technical High School, and ending at the other - Somerset Berkley Regional High School ... and all the stops in between.

We totally wanted to see a total solar eclipse so after 2017 wasn't close and I knew 2024 would be within driving distance, I started planning. And then April 1, 2024 rolled around so I resumed planning! I totally missed the ball.
Modeling a fixed, wired network is a tricky endeavor. There are so many interactions at the network protocol level and the application data plane that make it far more stochastic than deterministic. Now, make the modeled network wireless and you've elevated the degree of difficulty. Modeling free space propagation loss, signal, noise and interference as well as antenna gain patterns and directions make modeling wireless networks a far more challenging task. Finally, make the modeled network airborne. Routers and switches are no longer bolted into fixed racks with neatly dressed cables; they are literally flying around in the air hoping to build some type of connectivity on which a network topology can be created. Welcome to my work.
My latest - and last planned challenge of this year - is done! I've been running at least the mileage of the month number every day of the month, so:
and at least 6 miles every in June was so close to a 10K per day, that was the June challenge!
Today I finished ...
It's too bad the conversion between miles and kilometers is just over 1.6 (closer to 1.609 kilometers / mile). At just under 1.6, closer to 1.592 (just 17 less meters) we'd have:
5 km / 1.592 miles/km ~ 3.14 milesOr as we in the maths field like to say, π (pi) miles.
And then of course, my 10 km a day would be:
2 * 5 km = 10 km / 1.592 miles/km ~ 6.28 milesor 2π miles, to take this full circle.
ONE MORE 10K TO GO IN JUNE!
I just passed the half way of running 6.21371 miles (10K) for every day in June - the sixth month of the year; hence, 6(+) miles every day. I'm getting tired and it's a bit unexpected.
