After yesterday’s trail adventure, took it easy for today’s group run in terms of miles and pace. Brisk but sunny this morning. 🏃
Gorgeous fall day and day off from work so hit the trails. Turned a 5k into over 10K by mixing up directions and doubling up on a loop 🤷♂️ 🏃
Do you ever run just slightly less than 10K and get annoyed because Strava/Apple won’t give you credit for the 10K? No? Me neither… 🏃😊
“Atheism does not bother me even a little bit. Stupidity does. Laziness does. Treating cultures and civilizations as though history began last Thursday—or some weekend 40 years ago when teen-aged you decided you didn’t feel like going to church with your parents—does.” - Kevin Williamson
Nice 10K at the Len Fisher Bridge Run in Delaware, Ohio. Happy with my pace despite a late night and a beer watching a buddy play music at the local watering hole. Beautiful sunrise 🏃
My Apple Watch died the last two times I ran, including last night’s club run, so decided to run in today’s beautiful sunshine. Running a 10K on Saturday. 🏃
Finished reading: Final Spin by Jocko Willink 📚 // grabbed this at the library yesterday and finished it last night. Quick engaging read, which is what I needed.
I started my book blog, Collected Miscellany, twenty years ago. Now I don’t know what to do with it. Any ideas?
My run club had our Halloween run last night people had trouble guessing my costume but it was easy to run 🏃in 😄

Thanks for the sticker @jean
Ran my first official half marathon on Sunday. Had a great experience and was pleased with my time. 🏃 13.1
Currently reading: Effective Data Storytelling by Brent Dykes 📚
Finished reading: The Road by Cormac McCarthy 📚 // A hard book to rate and review. The language was spare and at times beautiful. It was full of powerful emotions and thoughts of how all easy answers breakdown at the extremes. But I was also left wondering what it was all about exactly? Just the above? Perhaps my literary sensibility is not deep enough to appreciate a book where all is bleak and the world is ending and yet I was hoping for a little more direction, a little more purpose to the story.
