Yesterday was March 1 and my #running streak celebrated its’ 4th birthday! 🎉

5K a day. Most days, a slow jog running in place. A few marathons and halves thrown in there for good measure.

Spotted in the wild!

@k_runO2net@masto.ai I’ve run the 2nd half and the full of the SF marathon and prefer those immensely.

@k_runO2net@masto.ai First 7 miles are a great loop of Golden Gate Park, then the last 6 is an out-and-back along Great Highway which is basically psychological warfare.

But an early February half is SUCH a good forcing function to not be a couch slug through the rainy season.

Why do I do this to myself every year? #running #halfmarathon 2 hr 27 min

I can never move out of #sanfrancisco because my ability to estimate #running distances on the fly here is unparalleled.

12 miles today in 2:29. Half next week!

@varx Costco sells a big tub of mixed “gourmet dried mushrooms” that’d work, too.

Usually those mixes are cheaper because they’re little pieces and a lot of people prefer the pretty whole dried mushrooms - but the little cheaper pieces are more suited to your use case!

Cannot recommend highly enough investing in very comfortable socks (or slippers, is that’s your thing) for all activities.

I have gradually replaced all my just-okay socks with Balega “hidden comfort” running socks and it is a tiny daily delight.

This is genius Albert Einstein who refused to speak at white colleges and at the end of his life spoke exclusively at black universities
"The separation of races is not a disease of colored people but a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it.

@rckenned it just started raining here, sorry for jinxing the SF runners

Grateful that the wind and rain gods are allowing runners some dry time on long run Sundays. 11 miles, 11:39 min/mi pace #running

In many ways, 2022 feels like the year that time resumed for me. In 2023, I hope to build on the momentum for myself.

But even more, I hope that the people who the pandemic still has stuck in time due to local circumstances or individual/family risks find some freedom.

The older I get, the more aware I am that being critical rather than enjoying things is not a sign of intelligence or wisdom. Not loving things - movies, art, music, people, situations - because of their weaknesses doesn't make you better than them, it means you're unable to see past imperfections. Sure, some things absolutely are bad & should be left behind - but being hypercritical denies you joy. I need reminded of this every day. Too many things are legit bad to throw out good ones too.
