Is there a good collection you’d recommend? Needn’t include The Lottery.

I have to admit that when I’m out running in the morning, and I pass a dog and their person out walking, that I tend to say β€˜good morning!’ followed by β€˜and hi! human’. Dogs are the best.

Meet Phineas. This distinguished gentleman is at a ripe age of 10. He just received a surprising diagnosis of progressive neurological deterioration in his hind quarters. Doing well for now, but changes are coming, and we’ll keep trying to enjoy each day that we have. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

For the children, Sarah. For the children. And the dogs. The cats will be ok.

I was lucky to see Dick Dale perform this at Slim’s in San Francisco in the 90’s.

On the taper, my easy pace run somehow turned into a progressive run on the last third (thanks again, zombies) and somehow netted a new 1mile PB. #RunSky #runningpunks #run

Morning run. Find the segments where I was pursued by zombie hordes.

Morning run. Find the segments where I was pursued by zombie hordes.

The morning runs are now all in the dark. Add a few higher-paced zombie chases, including one in pitchdark woods, and there’s a wake-up for ya. #BlueSkyrun #running #runningpunks #zombies

They are crafty, small, and quick. And not to be trusted.

It is something that, I propose, many of us would like to enjoy but are confronted every year by its unnecessary ickiness. Make it better!

And the critter count for this morning was one opossum scampering up a tree, and 3(!) Cooper’s Hawks in s tree discussing the plan for the day. Low bunny count today β€” reference aforementioned raptors. And no deer today for whatever reason.

About 2 weeks out from a HM, and I crushed a 10 mile training run this morning. The return to Fall temps is like an afterburner. The easy run turned into a progressive for the last quarter.

Completed my first HM distance run today. Had to get over a mental block and align my prep to go out today. Pace is still in the β€˜easy run’ category, and I don’t see that improving substantially in the near future. Still, good to finish! #RunSky #running

My wife just started reading the manifesto. She’s in the zone and has a few questions on the bewildering array of small/large changes.

I’ve procrastinated long enough. All that camping equipment seem ill-suited to put itself away.
