I’m taking the approach of not being patient after my most recent injury. It’s worked before.

Today may be the earliest in this transition of seasons that I wore long sleeves on a run.

Once again, my neighborhood Facebook group has broken out into people suggesting walking/running WITH traffic instead of facing traffic. Each example they try to use are terrible spots to try to be walking with the traffic. Also, these streets get like 30 vehicles a day.

I have felt pretty miserable this summer trying to run, but August has turned out not so bad. I’ve run more this month than any of the previous 4 months. And the last time I ran more in August was in 2019.

Went to my first NASCAR race in about 10 years a week ago. Good times with my friend, but my goodness, the action in the track was as boring as TV makes it for short tracks. I’ll go back to be an occasional fan.

I did a short run-bike-run workout this morning. It’s the first time doing that in a looooooong time. My dog wasn’t too sure about going out a second time. #runchat

I’ve never really cared about engagement on Instagram, but what’s the point when they’re only showing posts to less than 5% of followers on most things?
My dog pic after 12 hours has 0 likes, but if I made a Reel of him just sleeping and doing nothing, it would be a different story.

Almost - and somewhat surprisingly - got my time in the Blue Ridge Half back into the 2:20s today. 7+ minutes faster than a year ago and 14 minutes faster than 2022. Next year I feel like I need to focus on sub 2:30 again. Last time I did that was 2015. #runchat #runBlueRidge

1 week until the Blue Ridge Half! These past few months of running have been weird. I wouldn’t even really call it “training,” but I ran more than last year and had some really good long runs. (1/2)

This time of the year is almost as nice as mid-October. But allergies ruin it …
