I’ve reached the reading poems and weeping over breakfast phase of this concussion. It’s beautiful.
“You will find me, God,
like a dumb pigeon's beak, I am
pecking
every which way at astonishment.”

Met some talented student writers who also happened to be stellar humans. (Forgot to take pics.) Read from the novel-in-progress. Saw some friends. Remembered the power of stories, felt grateful to share this creative life with so many good people. Thank you, U of Arkansas MFA program. 💜

Left the hound dog in Virginia. First run in awhile. Shitty (elevation + so windy I thought I might blow back home) but somehow also so good. Take that, dearly beloved uterus.

my allergies have been on overdrive (so many negative COVID tests🙏🏼) so no runs for awhile but I will run again. In the meantime, a hike.

I skipped two days and didn’t want to do this. Slower bc this one was a hilly trail run. Feeling kind of proud I did it anyway.

I *think* this is what I actually did. Way less triumphant but a run when I didn’t feel like it nonetheless!

I’m having a hysterectomy in one month & a week. My body has been on some real bullshit for a while & I kind of gave in to not doing much with it. So I’m gonna use this little account to write down an intention. I want to start a running habit again. Starting small, but today, I did it. 1.64 miles.
