Saturday morning 11k+. Rabbits and deer today. Including one weird squirrel - deer standoff. Passed 2 runners - 1 ‘hello’ & 1 fist bump. That was nice. Have a great weekend on your runs! #running #runsky #runningpunks

7x1min reps this morning. Next week I’ll be wanting gloves. Deer and skunk came out to say hello. I swear they’re stalking me. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Too late, Ellis. You’re committed til the end. Make nice noises about the shrimp.

That shrimp looks heavenly. What, if anything, did you serve it with? Oh, and you ran too. Good job! (Nice progression. Cars suck.)

Morning folks! Base run this morning. Deer and a fancy, fuzzy skunk met me along the way. 2 other runners doing their thing as well. #running #runsky #runningpunks

A very sleepy, somewhat chilly Monday morning. My mind was still ruminating and awaking as I needed to progress through a couple of gears and then hold it. Not bad. I’ll take it. Have a good week, folks. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Last bits of summer. My wife converted a corner of our front lawn to wild flowers. And the pollinators love it.

It’s annoying when the same model shoe changes from year to year and ruins it for you. Good work, and excellent repast. Good work on the run, even with the issues.

I may still do a Parkrun someday, if I find myself close to one. We’ll see.

SteveTheAurora @stevetheaurora.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Yeah. I don’t race or compete. Came to running late and I’m in it for other reasons. I like to follow training plans for goals I set, and appreciate the variety of workouts.

SteveTheAurora @stevetheaurora.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
So my long long run is a 15k and I like to do one at the start of each month for that little burst of accomplishment. Today was an especially good effort, with a surprising added spring from the rear foot. The local shop’s club run was out and I had to wade thru. #running #runsky #runningpunks
Happy woodland creature.
My reward for breakfast. Fresh muffins waiting for me!

Well, it surely points to a lack of explosive power. My acceleration rate is not spectacular.

Are you going to work in recovery weeks and/or deloading cycles? I’m catching on to the logic of that now.

Sprint work this morning. Hit the window if not the exact target pace. Hmmm. Faster shoes? Longer ramps? #running #runsky #runningpunks

Probably my least favorite workout; very glad when it’s completed. Just one of those paces to get more comfortable in. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Monday morning wake up run. A little bit over 5k with a little spurt at the end. Have a good week! #running #runsky #runningpunks

Garmin had queued up an easy, 39 min run today. Nah, instead I will start with a 10-hr fast, a medical blood draw, then an 1hr 18min run fueled by a small chunk of baguette w/butter, a fig cookie, and 2 gel chews. Had a great run with some nice uphill strides. #running #runsky #runningpunks

What would happen if you paired the longest with shortest, and worked your way up to the middle?

Fleet foot day! Good day of anaerobic reps. Credit could go to the cooler temps, but I think it was the Argyle socks. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Birthday run! Nothing special, but feeling much stronger compared to several weeks ago. Chilly today - Had to break out bits of my winter kit. Ran up on 2 skunks, so I’ll take that as an auspicious omen. Said a blessing as I passed sad roadkill. Have a great Tuesday! #running #runsky #runningpunks

Monday morning 3x threshold reps. Earbuds not working so ran without musical inspiration. A little dark out, and somehow managed not to trip on anything. Met another runner on the cool down segment and let myself turn it into a short race. Happy Monday! #running #runsky #runningpunks
