I’m mostly ok. But no promises on that front.
It’s that time of year when I subject myself to a large herd of extroverts for three days at a 5 star resort where, let’s be honest, I most certainly do not belong. Thankfully I’m home now and I’ll possibly be recovered in a week. But hey, enjoy the rare formal Kirk.

Seems like I’ve been everywhere but home the past month! So here’s one from (checks notes) 10/21 and a super-rare picture of me almost smiling during a race from Sunday.

These really don’t do justice to the madness that was last weekend. First is after the Free State Trail Run Half Marathon on Saturday , the second is finishing the Billy Mills 10K on Sunday.

Odd week, this. Hopefully next week I’ll have pictures from the craziness I’m subjecting myself to this weekend. Meanwhile, a thoughtful pose from Tuesday.

The rumors of cooler weather are as of yet, unfounded.

Here’s one from last week plus a bonus pic from today. Very first solo vaca EVER. 3 days of getting beat up by waves and I wouldn’t change a thing.

If you know what this picture represents, you’ll know why I’m in a surprisingly good mood.

It’s a CYOA kinda night. Covered in a metric shitton of mosquitoes and sweat or… mostly clean at work.

We were back on the trails last night and it was glorious (in an awful way.)

Everyone is bringing the heat tonight and I completely forgot to take a pic yesterday. Instead y’all get a picture from last Saturday when I turned into an ambulatory puddle of sweat and mud.

I lost track of time, hell I couldn’t figure out what day it is today. The weeks don’t get less insane apparently. Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.

I think this was two weeks ago. Last night’s run was so hot I completely forgot to take a picture.

I haven’t had a chance to play lately because of, life. But I did hit a really big goal. I finished my 2nd marathon AND beat my PB by 21 minutes! The world is still a flaming mess, but I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

I cannot stress enough how shitty the past few weeks have been. But today is Thursday and I’m at least a small morsel of a percentage less stressed.

First a chilly morning after crushing my PR at the John Brown Half. Then back sweating on the trails yesterday. Both were pretty awesome days.

It was still too cold for a shirtless pic on Saturday. Maybe this Saturday we’ll get one. (Although I don’t know how good I’ll look after 6 hours!)
