So this haul is 54 hours worth, maybe 324 miles on average, or 20-30 long runs. Call it six months before I need to restock again.

Longer runs (ultras, trail runs) often have snack breaks for real, actual food because even the finest gels like Huma get disgusting after a few hours of nothing but.

I used to take gels (100 calories) every 3-4 miles but that could take hours on the trail so I just set a “time to eat” timer every 45 minutes. Works for me.

All set for my next long run! …and the next few after that

Three boxes of gel packets: huma strawberry, gu caffeinated vanilla, and gu strawberry banana (which tastes like bubble gum, but, whatever.)

We are, in fact, back on our bullshit. We must’ve been here a hundred Fridays at least. Tommy’s Skyline to the Sea was back on tap, it’s done really well! Different from the usual Barebottle Brew Co beers.

Skyline to the Haze is a hazy IPA with 7% ABV, named after the iconic Skyline to the Sea trail. Surf Detective is also delicious.

Sunrise was 7 a.m. over Black Mountain west of Cupertino this morning

High clouds are pink and orange, reflecting the sunset just over the horizon behind us. A pale purple band just over the horizon is the “Belt of Venus,” which is the shadow of the earth cast against the sky by the rising sun. The golden and olive hills are furred with a marine layer extending out over the Pacific Ocean.

Today I got to drink a beer brewed by a trail runner friend who works at Barebottle Brew Co. Worlds colliding!

A flight card showing Skyline to the Haze as the first glass. “Did you try it?” My dude how could I not hello

Skyline to the Haze is a (very!) hazy IPA 7% ABV. “Named after the iconic skyline-to-the-sea trail, this beer channels the reward at the end of the hike (run!) with bright, citrusy New Zealand hops.”

Google in their quest to jam Gemini into everything now prompts users to ask for a summary of any video. The previous “summaries” were so deliberately vague as to be useless. But, mixed feelings: the goose is being stepped on.

It is unclear to me why a physically out-of-print book should command such a premium price in ebook form.

It costs $70 to license a DRM copy of Japanese Women Writers. I guess the publisher wants them to remain obscure?

I bought a used hardcover for less.
