Anyone know why Waterloo sparkling water is sold in 8 packs at Safeway and Kroger but 12 packs at Whole Foods? These are the pressing mysteries that Google isn’t helping me with.

Temporary. Just over here filling cups.

❝[T]he cup that running filled cannot be replaced by something else. So the goal is not to fill the emptiness left by running, the goal is to find new and different cups to fill.

If only being on a cruise ship wasn’t my worst nightmare (actually, it might be better than this…)

When Is It Too Cold to Run Outside? Here's what the science says about running outdoors when it's very cold.

With all of Colorado looking at extended sub-zero temps this weekend, an excellent read for all runners:

Jealous! I’m overly sensitive I think, though I didn’t used to be (too long of injury history sadly).

Personally, I do like 2-3 miles at the beginning of my run and then switch to my other shoes. Then maybe do 4-5 miles in it next, and finally up to a regular length run over the course of a week.

Other friends say they just do an entire run immediately. (I’m clearly overly cautious πŸ˜…)

Spurred by a discussion with running friends: what’s your usual method for trying out a new model of shoe you’ve never run in before? How do you start to incorporate it?

Showed my non-runner boyfriend Strava last night: β€œso, is this just an app to compare your running to others and feel bad as a result?”

I can’t disagree with that take. πŸ˜‚

If everyone could just consolidate and stay over here, that’d be great thanks.

I miss my bird app ultrarunning community circa 2015-2019 and I think we can recreate that πŸ™Œ
