Since summer has decided to arrive with a vengeance and I have to get ready for kobe, I joined a konbini gym to get access to a treadmill. 8km easy after work. Not a huge fan of indoor running but it's better than not running at all because the outside isn't safe #blueskyrunners #marathon #running

Well the temps are finally high enough that I have to shift to early am running. Up at 4am today and still finished literally dripping with sweat... But it's the difference between running in 75f and 95f. I don't even want to talk about the humidity.

#AutismAcceptanceMonth starts tomorrow. Please don't give to Autism Speaks; their $$ rarely supports autistic people/families, and their 'awareness' work portrays autistic people as burdens, not humans. From @autisticadvocacy.org, a good org to support instead.

Before You Donate to Autism Speaks, Consider the Facts
Very little money donated to Autism Speaks goes toward helping autistic people and families.

I adulted today (I filled my us taxes). Also fuck the us tax system that makes me file taxes every year even though I've made no money in the us and don't live there. The USA is one of only 2 countries in the world that require citizens not living in the country to file taxes anyway. I want a cookie

I've run multiple marathons. But the athletes who toe the line at the Barkley Marathon are truly built different. Even finishing one loop is a large order of magnitude more difficult and impressive. Truly inspired by what they are doing. #bm100

I keep thinking of different ways to frame this wild year. Surely a few stragglers will still come in over the last 40 minutes. But as it stands right now:
2024 Loop 5 starters: 7
2025 Loop 1 finishers: 7

I do not run, but I know many runners and am fascinated by the sport. Every year I avidly follow the reports coming in from the Barkley Marathon, a 60 hour variable course ultramarathon which has only been finished 26 times in its 30 year history. Now updates on Bluesky; follow on #BM100

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't."
That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.

I've been waiting to get a pair of racing shoes for the marathon for months. Been sold out since October (which meant running in the sc trainer at Kobe) Checked today and still sold out but not in the new colorway! LET'S GO! #running #marathon #tokyo2025 #newbalance

You don't have to run the entire time. You can walk. You can take a break. You can take a photo, grab a drink, or duck into the bathroom. It still counts. I ran 20km today and stopped at Ikea around 9km to use the bathroom and buy some snacks. It still counts! #running #marathon

Thankful that my first run back after the recent marathon didn't suck. Some little niggles here and there but nothing to be concerned about. Time to get back on the grind. Only 96 days to go to Tokyo!
