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.

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… ;-)

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…
Two more volumes added to my Everyman’s Library collection in the past week.

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…
