What if they don’t care about the affair but were embarrassed to be caught at a Coldplay concert?

2 of 6 races now into 2025 @usatfne (IG) Grand Prix, competition’s impressive. This series brings in people.
A tough course at Saturday’s Frank Nealon 15K (Upton, MA).
56:48, 6:06 pace, 135/578, M50-59 5/61.
Team @dirigorc (IG) did well.
Next series race is July 13, a 1 miler 🤪.

Today, stepped out of my comfort zone, raced shorter than 13.1 at the @robertburns10k (IG) (Westbrook, ME) w/ club @dirigorc (X).
The experience certainly does wrap up a lot more quickly.
Chilly but big sun.
Went ok, age group win earns a hoodie.
Get older, go faster. 5:59 mi/pace.

Otto called it!

What's that, @OttoRedBoneRuns (X)?
Your upset pick of the week is @Commanders (X) over @Lions (X)?
Well, I don't love it.
But if you say so.
And don't wink at me.

2024:
Miles run: 2149.9. <-Yes, this has me twitching.
Raced ✌️ 26.2s & ☝️ 13.1.
Any year I'm able to stay healthy, complete multiple 26.2s is a win.
Different strategy in '24, NO 🏃 in July, instead: 🚴‍♂️.
It helped keep fresh my parts that take a pounding from the run.

Didn't do as much reading in '24 as I would've liked, but I did just complete Dave Eggers' "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" in the past week.

C'mon @OttoRedBoneRuns (X), don't laugh (or 🥱)!
@Patriots (X) might beat the @Chargers (X), right?!
No, of course not.
LA looks like an incredibly complete team.
Anyway, hope you're having a great holiday week!
Almost time to post year end miles, & it's looking good!
Cheers.

It didn't work.
2 hours before kick, it’s 25 degrees, SMU players out here “warming” up without shirts because reasons.

21 December 2024

Happy Solstice to planet Earth and all its residents. For the next half year, daylight gets longer north of the Equator and shorter south of the Equator.

Confirming that yes, contrary to what many people think, days get **longer** in the Winter and **shorter** in the Summer.

Today's reminder we don't deserve dogs.
@OttoRedboneRuns (X) says "hi".
@BostonMarathon countdown: 127 days.
And @Lions or @BuffaloBills?
Who ya got!

1 week ago.
Was humbled by @RunMillinocket (X) 26.2’s Golden Road.
It’s unpaved, uphill, blows Mt. Katahdin headwinds at you, & is 1/2 the race.
And the race is a double loop.
So, it’s the 1st 1/4 of the race, then stumble out of it, race back to the #Start, repeat.
6th, 3:02.
🥶

Come alive, @OttoRedboneRuns (X).
It's Army/Navy weekend!
Really, in my time on Earth, cannot think of a prior occasion they've BOTH had such a good season.
This AM, 3rd run since last Saturday's @RunMillinocket (X).
Feeling like I moreso need to ease back into the run process.
Cheers.

Hi friends!
Raced @runmillinocket, ME (X) yesterday.
Race start 10 AM, 🥶 13 °F, 🌬 18 mph, big 🌞.
A bucket list race & FREE Boston qualifier!
Takes place in a former paper mill town, in need of $ rejuvenation.
Finished 6th, 3:02, half dirt (tundra), half paved.
And my son ran the half!

The Lions have become the team that every non-traditional Lions fan roots when their traditional team stinks.

The Lions have become a team I always trust to make the plays to win at the end. What a world. 12-1.
December 6, 2024 at 2:23 PM
Probably late to the game on this (usually am).
But while on the 'mill this AM, actually came across the song "Treadmill".
Not bad.
