May have overreached slightly on my long run today but I've officially run a half-marathon. Was definitely feeling the pain by the last couple miles but either way the fact that I can even do this now is a sign of my progress. #running
The returner gains are real. A pace that winded me on a 10k last week was a pace I could sustain for 10 miles this week. It's good to be back #running
Shifted my focus to running again lately, the progress has been excellent. Went for a sub 30 5k for the first time in 10 years and got a sub 29 even (as well as multiple other returning PRs)
Officially 1 year since bottom surgery! I cannot stress how important the decision to go through with this has been. The recovery process was so much harder than I planned for, but I'd do it all over again if I needed to
Had a diet win today: Apples have been off-limits for me since I developed a fructose sensitivity in my early 20s. However, I've been noticing it less and less lately when eating, so tried to have a full apple with peanut butter today. It went down well and I've had no issues from it :)
My strat to keep my head up through the extremely bleak state of my country atm is feeling more like building myself into the best version of myself I can. Honestly considering training for a marathon this year. Still a little unsure but I'm going to enter a few smaller races once it warms I think
Just like me fr
That rain outside the hotel means the sky was just as moved by @tomatoanus.bsky.social as we were. Massive thanks to Tommy for joining us for that prize segment.
Take their wisdom to heart. Please.

Fish…
The gains don't stop just because I'm on vacation. 5k on an elliptical.
Just think, 6 months ago at SGDQ I was celebrating running just one mile. Can't wait to see where I am in another 6

Oh no I've become French for a week
My 2026 goals are:
-3000 miles of cycling, both indoor and outdoor combined.
-Go on at least 1 bigger hiking and/or camping trip
-Keep following the speedrunning urge when it pops up. Don't stress when it's not there
-Push myself out of my comfort zone more. Meet people, do new things, etc
Getting outside and biking as much as I did changed my mental health for the better, extremely significantly. I'm happier, healthier, eating better. Im absolutely taking that energy into 2026 with me.
I ended the year with just under 400 miles biked in the last 10 weeks of the year, and seeing as I could barely walk for a few months there, that's huge. Speedrunning took a bit of a backseat, but honestly, that's starting to be okay. I'm finally admitting to myself that being outdoorsy is vital
2025 was a hard year for me. Surgery was a major limiter on what I could do, recovery honestly kept going until August/September even with the actual date being in February. Balancing work alongside that was all I could really do for a lot of it. I'm proud of how strong I ended the year though
Closing out the final full week of the year with a >100km week of riding. This year has been nothing short of life-changing, even if honestly it may have been one of my hardest ever.
Managed my first 50km ride earlier this morning ahead of some snow coming in overnight. I'm officially on pace for >300 miles this year which is triple my goal when I started 2 months ago 💪
It's been a damn good few days for cooking. Started this morning off with a 5 mile bike ride, into blueberry pancakes and a thanksgiving spread I'm super duper proud of.
Balsamic glazed salmon, potato/squash medley, baked Mac n cheese, brioche rolls and cranberry sauce.
So pleased with myself today
Biking update. I put a 100 mile goal on biking this year only having 10 weeks to work with, and turns out I've already crushed it. Capped it off with a 22 mile ride this morning, I'm feeling super accomplished lately.
Best ride so far in week 2. Already noticing a lot of improvement, and actually being consistent with exercise (for once) has been a huge mood boost lately
The bike came in Thursday! Not bad for day 2. Absolutely in love with it
Looking forward to this weekend. I used a work stipend to splurge on a nice new bike. This will be my first bike since high school, and by far the nicest bike I've ever owned. Really excited to build a new work out routine
Holy. Online runs and even with some sloppiness still pulled out a 1:35. We're getting there gamers.
Tried to squeeze a quick offline run in between work and raid, and hey look at that. 3rd PB, still very sloppy, especially in the endgame. May upload this one to YouTube though, it's probably the first time I've been comfy with a run so far.
Going live with Silksong any%. 3rd run attempt, hoping to start pushing sub 2

After getting my 100% file completed I decided to hop right in with an offline first run. Super super fun route and I'm excited to do more
