I wrote this as a joke but I did kind legit ignore any emails that came in after like 3:30 because I couldn’t focus on anything not Brian Wilson-related

Sorry I couldn’t respond to your email, I was too distraught about the death of Brian Wilson and had to binge the Beach Boys

Forgot the phrase for β€œbrain fart” so called it β€œmemory shits.” English is my first language and yet my grasp on it is embarrassingly poor sometimes.

Learning not everyone has a little blaring radio on their head that is hard to mute has been a little odd because what do you mean there are people out there trying to sleep and their brain isn’t screaming IT’S BEENβ€” IT’S BEENβ€” IT’S BEENβ€” IT’S BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT MEβ€”

What sucks about getting older is hearing about old friends losing their parents β€” folks I got to meet when I was a kid or in high school, who welcomed us all into their homes with open arms. It’s to be expected but I don’t think it’ll stop stinging anytime soon.

Honourable mentions to β€œsorry for the convenience,” β€œI still do, but I used to, too” and β€œrice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat 2000 of something.”

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said β€œforget everything you know about slipcovers.” So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn’t know what the hell they were.

Did my 3rd fastest 10K ever today according to Strava. 3 minutes slower than my PR back in March. The difference is that I walked 1:07 in that one whereas I walked 10 minutes today. So I’m getting faster during my running segments…?!

As of today, I’ve done 69 runs this year. Feels pretty nice.

Band in question is the Dead South and they were also eating two tables away from us, feels less weird saying it now they’re well in the venue prepping for their own show

Tfw your partner’s band is playing outside of a venue and you realize the band playing inside is the Canadian band your Australian cousin added to your marathon playlist … small world

God I fucking love it when people post weird not-exactly-veiled statements on Facebook where you’ve seen them post a partner a lot and then you get β€œif you can’t handle me at my worst you don’t deserve me at my best” stuff. Like go girl, love yourself and congrats, but also I find it hilarious

It has been done, 5:55:36 according to Garmin, 6:02:08 official chip time but that was with a couple pauses to say hi to my dad and refill my water. Think I may be a one and done marathoner. I raised over Β£2500 for #TeamBreathe and am kind of proud of my results.
