Joan Didion’s Thanksgiving: Dinner for 75, Reams of Notes // I find Didion fascinating. Recently read the Library of American volume Didion: The 1960s & 70s
What I am listening to: Standard Stoppages by Third Coast Percussion. Was lucky enough to meet these guys and have my son work with them at a Music & Arts camp at Denison University.
Fall turns to winter. Also, meant hour plus commute… 📸
Great time at Scioto Trail Race Series #2 this morning. Wanted to pick up the pace but what I gained on first lap I gave back on the second. Still farthest I have run on any surface except 2 marathons. 🏃
Not sure how many warm evening runs are left this year. Warm if windy last night for local club run but enjoyed still running in t-shirt and shorts. 22 miles on Saturday. 🏃
Currently reading: In the Heat of the Night by John Ball 📚 // picked this up a library sale
Beautiful fall evening for run club. 🏃needed lights but skyline was pretty.
Signed up for a couple gravel races. Two races came with a pair of Solomon Aero Glide 3 GRVL shoes. Race #1 was 10/25 & roughly 11 miles (photo). Saturday is #2 and 22+ miles. Looking forward to it.

Once more into the breach
Remember when I started a Substack and then completely stopped publishing it after just a few posts? A confession. For those of you not on Substack. I am going to try and re-start Running & Reading despite a history of not following through…
