Primrose

Really gorgeous sunrise this morning. 5 miles, I felt really strong.

But what I want to talk about is that this is almost exactly two years since I started running seriously. 1,900 miles, two full marathons, and five halves later, I'm still going. Today was a good one.

Great run this morning. Felt really good. Nothing spectacular, just another 30 minute or so 5K. It's a cut back week. Have a great week, everybody.

All up for the week: 23 miles (4/4)

I've run this a thousand times and never saw that until today.8.5 miles. (3/4)

running it dry and keep going anyway. 40 minutes in the orange zone was a lot but I can do more.I've missed these long runs. This wasn't even that long. But I'm out of practice. There were dozens of butterflies going back and forth across the trail close to the end. (2/4)

The weather seemed to think I'm a stinky wolf who needed a bath this morning. Got drenched about 2.5 miles in. No, we don't stop for rain. I've run in a blizzard. I fell off the pace for the last mile but I kept going. That's the way to make the tank bigger, (1/4)

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and resolving that you will NOT give up.Overcoming the Place is the most important lesson of them all. Some days, that Place is the entire damn run. That was today. 5 miles, 2 fast. (5/5)

those who call you an inspiration, the fame, the medal, or just the right to tell yourself that you fucking did it. Maybe some combination of all of those. And just keep going. It doesn't matter how fast, how hard. (4/5)

I have seen runners do exactly that over and over. Just walk away. Give up.The hardest thing of all is to just keep going anyway when you reach that Place. To reach out for those you love, those you've lost, those who are counting on you, (3/5)

you'll know. You suddenly realize this is crazy. Everything hurts, there's so much more to go, this is just crazy, why am I doing this to myself, and it would be so easy to just step to the side of the path here. On pretty much every race, (2/5)

I want to talk about the Place. I don't have a better name for it. But every race, indeed, every run, you will reach this Place. The Place can be 1000 feet into a mile jog or 20 miles into a full marathon. It doesn't matter. But when you reach the Place, (1/5)

Today was the first hill repeat after I injured myself. So here's the deal. Warm up then run, uphill, as hard as you can for 45 seconds. Then jog back down. I did that six times this morning. And it went great. Sore, yes. But having any ankle issues, no. (2/2)

Have a nice sunrise. So, training for a marathon doesn't mean only running a long way, over and over. It doesn't work that way. You also have to train fast and hard. I'm a good boy. I'll take all three, please. Erf. (1/2)

Those last 200 yards hurt but this may be the first time I've actually done the distance. This is distressing. (2/2)

I knew my watch had issues tracking my turns in the pool but I had no idea it was this bad. I feel like I've been cheating. The watch says 1000 yards. I did 800. That's a dramatic difference. I just need to actually count. (1/2)

Moo. Six miles today. I was very beat up. Every run has a difficult point. Sometimes it's right when you start, sometimes just before the end, and some days suck because it's the entire thing. Erf.

for a few lengths but it's not consistent and takes warming up. (2/2)

850 yards, although I'm suspicious with my bad turns. Also, my coach asked for 775 but it's a lot easier to just swim the lat 25 back then walking a long way around a big pool.I can do the dance, as it were, (1/2)

And I did it anyway. It feels very good to be back into proper training. (3/3)

Touching that--I touch it every time--feels like I'm almost done. Also, terrifyingly lanky wolf shadow. I did the exact same 7.5 mile long run last weekend. However, there was a critical difference this time. My weekly mileage has increased from 18 to 25. (2/3)

Say hello to my mile stone. That big boulder is within ten feet of one exact mile from where I always start. Reaching that rock the first time two years ago was a massive achievement. Now, I pass it on my warmup and then again on the way home. (1/3)

Heckie! That would be tough but so so worth it. ERF!

my HR was way up and the wall lurks but it felt like I could have kept going forever. Getting there is hard but if I can just stay in that state. Wow.Five miles, two at goal pace. (2/2)

There could be a lot to say about today but none of it matters because I got it back again. What 'it' is, I have no idea. With only like .2 miles left in the fast part this morning, everything just dropped away. I stopped feeling everything. Sure, (1/2)

A bit under three miles should be easy, right? However, this was no ordinary little run. Intervals are brutal stuff.

Very briefly, I hit a 5:46 minutes/mile pace. That's a 2.5 hour marathon, not that I'll ever be able to hold it that long.

Twitter is a sea of ads and annoying fake artist accounts following me to try to sell me furry AI commissions. First, it was Discord that had a dozen of so of them friend me and try to schmooze me into paying for AI slop or nothing. Now, it's Twitter. Any real artist will not approach you.

I've been very disparaging of Blue Sky before. The algorithm had serious issues and was determined to flood me with things I did not want to see, no matter how many I blocked, asked to see less of, etc. However, it appears to be a bit better.
