29x marathoner (22 states, 14 sub-3hr states), full of bad jokes, and friend to all dogs.
I wish I could tell people on X that I don’t miss X since I left X last year.

It’s this #hot in Chicago (suburbs) right now. The #squirrels are melting!

I thought I ordered a *Bird* Buddy, but I guess I clicked the wrong one…

Only 20 weeks until I toe the line again… given that we won’t get out of single digits (F°) today, I’m glad I picked a late 1st half of the year #marathon. No pressure to long run through this season. It’s damn #cold out there!

After a 5 year hiatus, today I ran a 2:59:48 at the Rocket City Marathon.

Extremely happy with this one as a flatlander running the rolling hills of Huntsville.

This was marathon 29, state 22 and 14th sub-3.

It’s my “Last (short) Long Run Day” before my marathon next weekend! Always a happy day to have in your rearview mirror.

Just deactivated my Twitter account.

Few things are as liberating for a #runner as launching a good snot rocket on a #run.

It may be gross, but it’s true!

Last 20-miler is in the books. A bit rough with starting temp of 14°F with a “feels like” of 1°F.

Glad that’s done. Bring on the taper!

In July I ran my first race in 4+ years. It was a 5k at 6:44/mi pace.

Yesterday I ran an 8k at 6:10/mi pace.

I am extremely surprised by, humbled and proud of my progress this year.

Not quite where I was pre-COVID, but not really that far away.

Anybody else get the feeling their posts are actually being seen by people over here?

Weird.

Another 20 miler in the books!

There is a good nights sleep I’ll never get back.

Why did I stay up for this fight? This is very boring.

Pretty sure that dude in the car with Jake Paul is spraying a can of Axe Body Spray… which would seem about right…

Tomorrow is another 20-miler… my long runs have been going smooth, but always daunting the night before! #marathontraining

The general vibe I get here is like move in day at college. Everyone is friendly and excited to see who lives on the floor, and they’re all filled with hope for what’s ahead.

…and the starter packs are like finding a flier for a kegger that night.

I am excited to finally see the #running community growing on this platform!!!

Realized that I’ve been putting all my focus on #running in my #marathon comeback, at the cost of any other workouts. Today starts my #weightlifting on non- #run days routine. #onwardandupward

Nothing quite like being out in nature. 11-mile hike today. No cell connection. Happiness.

Not sure which creeps me out more… people who put their Amazon wishlists in their social bio’s, or the people who buy items for people from the Amazon wishlists in their social bios. Both sides of the equation are just, eww.

Remember when riding around on a Segway was supposed to revolutionize life as we knew it? Those were the days…

While there seems to be a lot less activity over here, I don’t feel nearly as angry here as I do on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
