I run to stay sane. I have an unhealthy obsession with my cat Crouton. Expert at making bad decisions. Self deprecation and sarcasm are my love languages Rebellions are built on hope #running

I have to take a week off running to get to a baseline for some medical tests. I’m already stressed enough about the tests, but taking running from me is just going to compound the stress/anxiety. These next two weeks are going to be rough.

I've had it better than some and I know I shouldn't complain Though my grandfather told me once that all pain hurts the same If I could return to when I was a child I'd forget what I learned and go back to the wild

I won’t be able to come close to my 10 mile PR I set in May this weekend for the Delco 10 Miler, but it will be a fun race with fun people.

Got a 7.25 mile run in with a few race pace strides. The #Delco10Miler is Sunday. Normally ten miles is easy for me but my current health situation has me slowed down. #run #runner #running #runsky #runchat

Went hard in the sideways rain today just to see what I could do. It was not great, managed a sub 9 pace for 6.25 miles but it was TOUGH. #run #running #runner #runsky #runchat

Slow run on a very very humid day. Ran by perceived effort. Wanted to get at least a 10 mile run in this week. Going away for the weekend so got it done today. #run #runner #running #runchat #runsky

Got out after the torrential rain into the thick soupy air for a 10.25 mile run. Took it slow and easy and listened to my body, which isn’t easy for me. #run #runner #runsky #runchat #running

Breaking the gravity from my bed to get into orbit for the day is getting more and more difficult. The wife and cats have a strong pull.

Low aerobic run in 99% humidity. It was not a fun run, felt beaten up. But it got done. At 26.25 miles for the week. Only going for 32 this week. #run #runner #running #runchat #runsky

The documentary on Mary Oliver is on PBS tonight at 9pm. She is a wonderful poet, two of which are in my daily meditations. Wild Geese is one of my favorite poems of all time.

Nice low aerobic run. Hydrated during the run this time and it made it much easier. Still warm, still humid. Explored a new neighborhood! #run #runner #runchat #running #runsky

Brutalized myself which was stupid. 10 mile run in the heat and humidity with no water. I planned on looping back but just didn’t. Dumb move on my part. #run #runner #runchat #runsky

Nice and easy low aerobic run to finish off the week at 36 miles (although I did work in a couple of sprints at the end). Full day of rest tomorrow! No work! No run! #run #runner #running #runchat #runsky

I did not take it easy this morning on my run, needed to get the heart rate up and feel stronger. Tomorrow will be an easy run. #runner #run #runchat #runsky

Trying to get my 35 miles for the week in before Sunday. Which means I need to run 18 miles in the next three days. Very doable. Just got to make them easy miles. #run #runner #runsky #runchat #runchat

Not a bad run this morning, but not a great run, it was just a run. I did notice I get a nice little body high when I hit my lactate threshold. #runner #run #running #runchat #runsky

Left my water bottle in my front bushes and made two water stops during my run. Amazing how much a little hydration dramatically helps over all feel. #runner #runsky #run #runchat

The best mid run nutrition I have ever used is xact bars. You do not need water with them, they dissolve easily in your mouth and are made with basic ingredients. They are made in Canada and when the tariffs were imposed they stopped shipping to the US.

Debating on staying in this morning to give myself rest. Instead I went out and punished myself in the 97% humidity. Worth it. #run #runner #running #runsky #runchat

I’ll take it, especially for 95% humidity and a few point of 74. Set out for 6.2 decided to make it an even 7. #run #runchat #runner #runsky

Didn’t run this morning, this weeks schedule is all off. But more so I just slept like shit and felt rest was my best option. Now I feel like shit because I didn’t run. It’s a vicious mental cycle. Anyone else deal with this? #run #runner #runchat #runsky
