My garmin can suck it- got a 20min pr running the nyc half today, but garmin's only giving me a 'maintaining' status (but also 85 hr recovery?) #running #runner #runnersky

I was told to just go ahead and update my work laptop to Windows 11 myself (this is fine, I'm also IT, just the apps side). It's been 40 min, and it's only 29% done ๐Ÿ˜‚

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

Anyone know what's up with Duo? He's freaking me out a little, lol!

Anyone else running the NYC Half and already worrying that the weather could be crap? I live here, and I know better, but... I wouldn't mind SO much except that I know I'll be waiting around for probably an hour before my wave goes off!

If you feel unsafe doing this, fly a Star Wars Rebellion Alliance flag insteadโ€”just tell people youโ€™re a fan of Star Wars. ;)

At work, someone asked me how I can get up and run 6 miles before the sun rises and the "feels like" is 7ยฐf. And I think its just because my body doesnt know any better yet, that it hasn't had time to acclimate to the day! Also, I've got somw *really good* gear that keeps me covered.

What the actual fuck?! America, itโ€™s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Serviceโ€™s Stonewall website wasnโ€™t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Today's breakfast: coffee and a mini-muffin. Lunch: three dumplings, two blackberries, and a piece of cheese. Dinner of a couple handfuls of nerds and a cup-o-noodles. I'm doing AWESOME ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ’€

A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they donโ€™t participate in DEI. So itโ€™s not just the feds, itโ€™s any private biz that contracts with the feds. Hereโ€™s the message they got:

When everything feels out of control, what do i do but map out a training plan for the marathon. That's not until November. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Boss messaged me 10 min before I left work today and said "you can work from home tomorrow if you want." Why? "Because it's going to snow in the morning." He felt bad that I'd have to walk half a mile from the subway to the office (or wait for the bus which would take approx the same time) ๐Ÿคฃ

Even though I've lost literally 100 lbs and am a completely normal size (woohoo 6/8, s/m!) I still looked at what I was wearing as I walked out the door this morning and thought- damn, this makes me look fat today. Hashtag impossible standards!

Wendy's has the best social media team! (I also fear because I just did my taxes over the weekend...)

Samesies. I bailed on a 10k race today, and all i keep seeing is how cool the medals are. But with the NYC Half in 6 weeks... eyes on the prize.

I have spent all day (minus doing the dishes, yay!) under a blanket on the sofa, doomscrolling. A little diagusted with myself, tbh

My 2nd dns ever today. Had a 10k race, but, as mine do at some point, my cold moved down to my chest. Its also 18ยฐ. One or the other, fine. But i always baby my lungs after a fun case of covid a few years ago.

When you work for a 501(c)(3) in arts & culture (so DEI is a big deal) and has a fair bit of federal funding... anyone want to send me some xanax or something?

Oops. My 13 mile run turned into a 5 mile one because my hydration bladder straw froze. Up to 10k or an hour-ish, i could go without (especially in the winter) but I wasnt willing to do 13 without hydration. Unintentional (and not really needed) de-load week.
