Another successful night of run club. Organizing is always a weird feeling. I bring all these people together, watch friendships form but often it feels like im at the edge of it.

For those curious what the breaking point was, I responded to someone who was celebrating Trump move to cut loans for certain degrees and suddenly my feed was filled with "college is worthless/ liberal art degrees are a waste of money" The absolute dumbest people.

Also finally deleted Twitter. I was holding on to it to follow the few accounts that I do enjoyed but my feed was just pretty much 90% right wing slop. Truly the worst place.

#running is neat because it let's me stumble across cool sights. Like this fully decked out DeLoreon.

Last night I was belaying a friend in her project at the indoor gym. Two guys started to get ready to climb a route that crossed into it. Politely asked them if they could wait cause she was right at her crux. They heard me, looked up and proceeded to climb. Again asked them to wait....

Trying to decide if I'm being a Karen, as I'm getting frustrated with how little my climbing gym updates their routes. Checking Kaya and when stuff was set, there are so many from October and December 2025. That seems wild to me. #rockclimbing

X Rays came back fine, no bone damage (laaaaaaaaaaadies). Good on one hand but back to square one. Guessing blood tests and a rheumatologist visit will be the next step.

Knee has been bothering me for a while so I finally went to go check it out. May end up being arthritis, getting X Rays today. Worried that my running time may be over. Anyone have good stories about continuing to run with arthritis? #running

Haha. My friend is recently single and told me how overwhelming the apps are. He is a guy, and this is his first day on it. I'm absolutely not surprised, he's a good dude and very attractive but man, those are probably more likes than I get i ever gotten in my time using it.

One thing I find myself thinking about is how often people show up for community yet only take and don't offer anything back in return. Don't get me wrong, just showing up is huge but if you're a regular at any community think of ways to help out or give back.

One of my group chats is currently about which Harry Potter each person is and then someone using AI to turn them into that. Literally combining the two worst things.

Had to drop 800 dollars getting my car electrical system reset and a new key yesterday (it's a whole story). Last week I paid 400 bc it got towed. I try to stay grateful that these expenses don't keep me from paying rent or anything like that but this is how I feel this morning.

Finally got around to beating #cairn . What a game, what an ending. Easily in my top 5 games ever. I don't think I'll ever attempt a free solo run but def will return to try some alternate paths/routes eventually.

Got my Shockz stolen at yoga this morning. It was at a brewery, I had finished my run earlier so I still had them with me. Set them down when we finished with some of my other stuff and was helping move tables back into the space. Realized they were gone later. So fucking pissed at myself

What the fuck are we even doing here? A 6 year old console is now 150 dollars now expensive than launch. The slightly upgraded version is almost 1k. Pray that your launch console doesn't break down. Who will even be able to afford a PS6?

Peak performance in action. Raced a 5k over the weekend and things kinda fell apart. Instead of getting frustrated I decided to have fun, grabbed a beer in the last kind that was offered by someone in the crowd and ended up with one of my favorite #running pictures

When on a first date yesterday, had a good time but at the end she preferred if we stayed friends. Bummed but I appreciated the honesty . At the end this was still a good experience, just two adults navigating dating in a respectful way and I did enjoy our brief time.

#cairn will probably end up one of my to 5 games ever. Absolutely continue to love it. Every time I get so frustrated from falling off a wall that I turn it off, I eventually return to it Piecing a climb together just feels so fall satisfying. And seeing your entire progress is so cool.

I been playing #cairn still, loving it, but I got to the Peril wall last week and just got stuck. Could not make progress. I finally started piecing together a route that worked and last night finally cleared it. I get Souls-like now.

One of the best feeling in a race is passing people in the back half of it. Not because I was glad that they are struggling, but because it meant that my training strategy had paid off. Really proud of my consistency At least until mile 27. Still gotta work on those last 5 miles. #running

#cowtownmarathon ultra done! Big PR, almost 30 min from my first one. Those last 5 miles absolutely destroyed me though. Gotta work on better pacing the 50k. Still got enough to take 3rd in AG! Plus side, I'll take a 3:36 marathon time on a tough course with tough weather anytime. #running

Medals aren't that important to me, unless I'm doing a race specifically for a cool medal, but even with that is hard not to be disappointed with these medals. Such dinky medals for what is a pretty big ( and expensive)race. Don't get me started on the shirts.... #running

Forecast for weekends 50k looking rough. Normally I doing carry hydration, just rely on the aid stations, but I'm planning on carrying a water bottle and electrolyte tablets to be safe. Original goal was 4:15ish but I go for 4:30 to be safe #running #cowtownmarathon

I'm not upset by people having preferences in dating as we all do, and you're attracted to what you're atracted to, but it's a bummer to often be reminded how important having hair is to a lot of people. I done a lot of work on myself but I can't replace the hair. Always feels it holds me back.

Let's talk about TRUE underrated shows. None of this "community" or "arrested development". Even "Better off Ted" has gotten plenty of love after it went off air. For me its Grand Crew, a show that deserved way more seasons and Stumble, a show that hopefully gets more seasons. #tvshows #sitcoms

Been trying to balance my constant need for approval and validation with my role as a group organizer lately. I think when I make leading my run club look effortlessly people don't realize the effort that it actually takes. But also I shouldn't expect constant thank yous or external validation
