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.

I am going to give micro.blog one more push. Plan is to encourage/beg a bunch of friends to join which will allow me to fully abandon social media… ;-)
Why run a marathon? The ups and downs of deciding to go for the big 26.2 🏃
How I became a “shoe guy” - but am trying to get better… 🏃😄
Focused on reading 📚 in the latest Substack. Specifically returning to favorite fiction series.
Unexpectedly becoming a “runner."🏃 Running is solitary AND about community
Finished reading: Charity by Len Deighton 📚
Currently reading: Charity by Len Deighton 📚 // kinda sad this is the last book in the series

Wednesday means run club. Marathon training plan is ramping up. Six miles tonight (in two parts) and 12 on Saturday. 🏃
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…

Thoughts on Running Advent and winter running. Plus, a book I’m reading and one I recommend
Doing Running Advent this month: Run .5 mile on 12/1 add .5 everyday until you get to 6 miles, then subtract down .5 every day until you get to 12/23. You must run the correct miles everyday. You can run more - you can’t run less! You can’t bank miles or make up miles. 🏃
I have decided to start a newsletter on Substack called Running and Reading if you are into those sort of things…
Fun run last night in Columbus. ASICS was featuring their GlideRide Max and offering $50 off. Plus, got a free hat.
First run since Saturday’s half marathon. Felt good. Run club is always fun. Wednesdays are for 🏃 running like the shirt says.
