This concept has resonated with me for a very long time now, and when we can acknowledge and respect the "two truths" in most situations...gamechanger.
To stay on the LONG path of progress you've got to hold (and harmonize) competing ideas at once. This is so important.
Stress AND rest
Seriousness AND fun
Self discipline AND self-compassion
Solitude AND community
Success AND failure
Caring deeply about goals AND non-attachment

#runsky #runningcoach question! Had to scrap my 100k bc of life conflicts with my kids. Instead, I'm running the Batona, a 52 mile point to point trail in South Jersey on 3/14 (the weekend of the 100k) BUT I missed two peak training long runs (one was icy & the other I fell & banged up my knee).

This past Saturday long run was supposed to be 4-5 hours…and now I still have dirt caked in my knee. Walked the last bit just to hit 10 miles.
Other than eating ish, it was, physically, a great run, on a gorgeous day before another cold snap.

Process goals > race goals lately & really loving just training.
Hoping once I get to the start line (you know, at the back of the pack, not like, the ACTUAL start line, lol) it will just be a "yasss, I made it" moment & the race is an eval of everything that went into it.

Running @ sunset to practice w/ my Ultraspire waistlight for the Rabid Raccoon 100k. Last (& only) two times I've used it, it automatically dims after an hour. I click it off & on to get the brightness back but it only lasts for a few minutes. Anyone else have this issue?

Having a 15 yr old boy is buying the ingredients to make a fresh mozzarella, avocado & cherry tomato salad and coming home to him having eaten, not one, but both boxes of tomatoes.
“Oh. My bad.”

Just bought Running While Black by Alison Mariella Desir and @stevemagness.bsky.social Win the Inside Game from Bookshop.org ✨📖
Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

My 13 yr old just used her allowance to DoorDash dry shampoo in a snow storm.
What a time to be alive.
