My LAST big long run of my training block! 22 miles!! I got it done this morning, and I did it at race pace! 😁✊🏻

I’m so ridiculously proud of myself. This has been the hardest 14 weeks of my life! 😭 But I’m HERE! Now it’s time to enter my taper. The Inaugural SATX Marathon is THREE weeks away! 😎

Btw if you ever wondered what firewheel seeds look like… 😁

Finished up sowing a good number of seeds I’ve collected off spent heads and seed pods while on runs! I planted some native seed mixes from Native American Seed back in early spring that yielded lots of blooms. The firewheels blessed me with MANY seeds! I got them all scattered and sowed. 😁✊🏻

What does it mean when you find TWO road pennies heads-up right next to each other while in your last tempo run of the training block? 🤔☝🏻

I’d also like to draw attention to the fact that I ran over 200 miles last month. 😗

Worst photos ever because I took them through my home office window while at my desk…but! The yellow-rumped warblers (“butter butts” 😁) have returned to my neck of the woods! Their arrival marks fall time-for-real for me, even if we only have cooler weather in the mornings right now lol

Got my 21-miler done this morning! 😁✊🏻

With the temperature in the 40s-50s F in the mornings, my pace has seen an incredible improvement over my summer paces. Today was an incredible effort!

Week 12 complete! I have TWO more weeks with my 22-miler on Nov 16th! Then finally! My glorious taper! 🙌🏻

I spent the afternoon at the kitchen table shelling out/organizing seeds from the native wildflower spent heads and seed pods/legumes I harvested while on my runs in the spring and summer! I was able to get through 3 paper sacks. I still have a few more sacks to go, then I’ll sow them very soon! 🌿🌱

We got the kitties a 5.5-ft cat tower yesterday.

Today is flea treatment day aka Fitz has to wear a baby shirt or he tears himself up trying to lick off the medication.

I came home from lunch with a friend to this.

I love my silly baby-shirt flea-medicated boy. 😭🥹

Weird, but I really missed my kitchen while I was away lmfao.

Ignore the white foldout table. We’re getting an actual kitchen island…just other house stuff took priority lol

Also! Tada! My Pokemon Legends Z-A trainer sona! As always, I’m a Psychic-Type trainer 😁🔮 Which…lemme say, having a mono-Psychic team makes this (and pretty much all Pokemon games) hard as hell LOL

Takes me back to my grad school days tbh lol I did my thesis research project on bridge-roosting Mexican free-tailed bats that used a highway overpass much like this bridge on the running trail.

My running buddy and I found a bridge with some Mexican free-tailed bats in it while on our 15-miler this morning in Southern Walnut Creek trail

Listen to that chatter! Also CW for Stephanie voice jump scare lol

Easy-paced 15-mile run this morning on the South Walnut Creek trail! I didn’t even know this fantastic route existed until yesterday. Glad I found it! It was so beautiful!

Then I grabbed coffee at Flitch Coffee in east Austin. What a gem! 10/10 day.
