#5KADay 534 #running a relaxed 7k 6’39” pace Monday was the most time in a sub 12 min/mile pace run I’ve spent in the green zone/zone 3 @ 35min - 146 bpm hr avg. Wasn’t targeting any specific hr zone, just stacking the miles without stressing knees/feet. #runchat #runsky

#5KADay 533 #running a sub 30-min 5k + extra for past track setting mishaps so ~ 5.25 Sunday. Warm up harder with cooler weather, but so hot by 3.5 km the t-shirt had to drop. Saved four ⚽️ and kicked them back in perfectly while running, cloud cover really helped week’s exhaustion #Runchat #Runsky

What a clutch morning by the by. I snagged a sub 30 min 5k and the hubby is making our snuggle baby 🐾 happy at our new dog park before we have to hit SF for the afternoon. #Dogsky #dogsofbluesky #running #runsky

#5KADay 532 #running a gentle 8.35k at 6’31” average pace (tho sweaty) Saturday as I’m uncertain about speedy track work for today. Running in circles with no view and no shade🌳. Forgot to finish all my post cooldown stretching so tighter this morning #runchat #runsky

If you are in #EastBay California looking for pie this winter I loved trying www.apieinthesky.com at their El Cerrito cottage. Tried their passion fruit pineapple cheesecake and have an order in for their riff on pumpkin pie & their riff on pecan pie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Support local business when you can!! 😋

We finally made a huge penzeys spice purchase after conserving between moves. SEA to DEN, DEN to East Bay. www.penzeys.com is an amazing company that values human rights, workers rights and the public. 🥰 A box of 17 + 8 more mixes we ❤️. Left a few out/got smaller sizes this time, but covered for now

#5KADay 530 #running ~ 6.2 km 39:00 continuous. Km 5 6’07” fastest km. The first km felt like running in quicksand, colder out, slick surfaces but no active rain, another conference break run for Thursday. Glad it’s over, 2 days is my max for consecutive virtual training days now. #Runchat #Runsky

#5KADay 529 #running 6.1 km in 35:42 on a conference cpe training break Wednesday. Applefitness/siri acting up frustrated run a bit. All 6 splits were sub 6 mins so that was cool but there were a couple interruptions so took a break at 4k to relax. Breezy out. #Runchat #Runsky

How last night’s dinner turned out for whole food eating #foodsky #cooksky #meatsky ~ 20oz bone in steak for two + 🐶 and split roast carrots (not peeled, washed only).
November 20, 2025 at 3:45 PM
Monday’s dinner was chops and courgettes and bell pepper. We do a light dry brine on chops in the morning. Whole food eating, #meatsky #foodsky #cooksky

Dinner Tuesday was a riff on charcuterie (forgot to open the pickles). Two types of cheese (goat, cow), imported prosciutto sliced at the deli counter, dates, persimmons, par boiled/shocked green beans. Fig jam and three types of cracker/bread alternatives not in frame. Simple. #Foodsky

Tonight’s dinner - steak for two and split whole raw carrots - on a tray coming up to temp. Whole food cooking. #Meatsky #Foodsky This is a variation of what we do when I’m not doing a whole brine chicken roast and repurposing chicken & stock in diverse dishes.

#5KADay 528 #running 8k Tuesday at a 6’10” avg pace for 49:22, 5:58 km 3 fastest of the 8, 6:02 in km 8 was 2nd fastest. Knee was a little squeaky every so often so decided not to push for 10k especially since I was under-fueled for my delayed run & 7.7 or 50 mins was the goal #Runchat #Runsky

I’m in online conference hell. Not sure if I should ask for a refund, bail and go running or sit tight. Group’s platform isn’t working (no activity) and no email updates. But shows it’s definitely time to commence. 16 minutes of nothing into 8 hrs of CPE field training. This is new for this group.

I went to xhitler to see if Catherine Lucey is currently and it is, but not here 🦋. There is only 1 result 🦋for posts. People are not using alt text in image grabs with her name and are not posting about her. She is the reporter who POTUS finger wagged in the face and said “Quiet. Quiet, piggy” to.

I’m setting out to follow more woman runners and more ppl using #FitnessWalking and #Running to rehab from illness and post covid havoc. This is not a mutual follow-back request, but I’ll be out there looking. Feel free to alert me of useful hashtags.
