Weather swing! 30F higher this morning than at the beginning of the week. Felt good to break out the shorts again. Blurry photo to indicate glee. Next week back to freezing, so enjoying it for now. #runsky #runningpunks

First proper winter run this season. Broke out the cold weather kit. Pretty in the morning light. #winter #runsky #runningpunks

Early winter in the Midwest this week. Frigid at ~9F with windchill. Very pretty with the light snow coat on the remainder of the leaves. #winter #snow

First snow of the season. The dogs had a great walk in their sweaters. #dogsky

Dark, blustery (and hilly!) first run in my new RunningPunks kit. Made me a tad faster, especially on the downhill portions. And a lot easier to see.

I have to admit that when I’m out running in the morning, and I pass a dog and their person out walking, that I tend to say ‘good morning!’ followed by ‘and hi! human’. Dogs are the best.

Meet Phineas. This distinguished gentleman is at a ripe age of 10. He just received a surprising diagnosis of progressive neurological deterioration in his hind quarters. Doing well for now, but changes are coming, and we’ll keep trying to enjoy each day that we have. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Kimmel is back on air. You people rock with standing up for our beliefs. What a great birthday present.

On the taper, my easy pace run somehow turned into a progressive run on the last third (thanks again, zombies) and somehow netted a new 1mile PB. #RunSky #runningpunks #run

The morning runs are now all in the dark. Add a few higher-paced zombie chases, including one in pitchdark woods, and there’s a wake-up for ya. #BlueSkyrun #running #runningpunks #zombies

The lab’s machine shop. Evidently Devo is coming to play for the faculty?

About 2 weeks out from a HM, and I crushed a 10 mile training run this morning. The return to Fall temps is like an afterburner. The easy run turned into a progressive for the last quarter.

Completed my first HM distance run today. Had to get over a mental block and align my prep to go out today. Pace is still in the ‘easy run’ category, and I don’t see that improving substantially in the near future. Still, good to finish! #RunSky #running

I’ve procrastinated long enough. All that camping equipment seem ill-suited to put itself away.

2025 me really appreciates the foresight of 2019 me in procuring these anti-ankle-biting fly gaiters! #camping #UP #stupidlittlebuggers
