#5KADay 809/811+ #running 7.27 km, 7.21 km and 10.11 km hitting 150 mi/mo yesterday. Tuesday’s 10k felt especially sloggy. The weather has been a bit warmer&sunnier. Doing the big long runs & more miles definitely means going slower with no break days. #Runsky #Runchat #Runningpunks 🐧 visit Tuesday

Sigh. I registered to vote in California so now I must study the Driver’s Manual to replace my 2025 Colorado license. Yes, they make you take the exam here…which blows my mind because we got extra auto coverage here because they are not good drivers (hubby voted in CO but never got license, cheater)

#5KADay 806+ #running 9.13 kms Thursday relaxed 6’25” pace in the new Mount to Coast P1. Felt great. Relay has a 5-day use/rtn program, so just have to make sure knees are happy in them. I basically repeated Wed 🏃‍♀️ & it was just the morning heat that hit my HR #runchat #runsky #runningpunks

#5KADay 805+ #running 9.13km yesterday at ez pace, tight calves & sore arches from the fast 🏃‍♀️ in the NSP Tues. Back in the adrenaline 24s I really felt the GTS on my arches, but no toe pain like the NSP👟 after breaking the long run seal on them. Today is MtC P1 🏃‍♂️!! 🎉 #Runchat #Runsky #runningpunks

My peeps, you can’t even imagine how excited I am to 🏃‍♀️ in these Mount to Coast P1s tomorrow. And because I 🏃‍♀️ a slow 9 kms today I can do pretty much any distance I want tomorrow in them 😍 #Runchat

Trying on my new runners 👟 after today’s 9.1 km run in the Adrenaline 24 (taking a break from the Nike Structure Plus shoe experience). Bare freckled legs with a runners tan (surgical scar down left knee, horizontal abrasion on left knee still healing from August🏃‍♀️ fall) , grey/blue wright socks, P1 sneaker in white mesh with black sole (size 8M, size 8.5 in adrenaline 24 & Nike Structure Plus). Always try on new sneakers after a run if you can.

Ummm, so the Geico insurance situation got real interesting….and I assume all insurers are doing this. Your odometer reading and annual mileage absolutely still matters so if you drive less than 14k miles you should call in with your odometer reading and annual use mileage.

Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Geico car insurance cheating you $120? Our 2012 vehicle has only been insured with Geico. Some states mileage allegedly doesn’t matter (doubt this). But confirming address change prompt today I’ve confirmed we were getting gouged for ~ 14k mi/yr. Our vehicle only has ~ 66.4k miles on it in ~13 yrs

Geico populated 13,862 miles in a screenshot of a screen I never saw before and I called the company because Geico doesn’t allow the company to edit the greyed out field where the Annual Mileage appears again at the bottom, so I called them

Tonight I found out my marriage is a lie. My husband and I watched an episodic japanese show together for years that I called “Ghost in the Shell.” Tonight, watching the no-dub Ghost in the Shell movie in theater I learned we were watching Mushi-Shi and he thought it was “cute” I called it 👻🐚

remember #running shoe stores are no substitute for a physical therapist and all the work it takes to achieve neutral body alignment w/ 🏃‍♀️. The 👟 store didn’t have the P1 in any size…and I was repeatedly recommended trail shoes for road running, which is dumb. The shop is lucky I didn’t see email

“hello
if you are a neutral runner, you do not need the P1. The RI and CI would work better for you. We have both in stock.

MTC makes great shoes. I do not think you will go wrong with any of their models.
