How many miles did you run today?

[Dusty Heaters]

Look at you guys with your offspring and responsibilities. Meanwhile I’m over here smoking blunts and sluggin bourbon like a fuckin loser. I don’t even wear my wedding ring for ***** sake.

When does one stop being a 30-something year old selfish ************* and start allocating discretionary resources towards a greater good? Asking for a friend.

When your wife/gf becomes pregnant the first time.

I was still a shitbird until child #1 actually arrived and then it suddenly dawned on me that this **** was real!

It sobers you up when the hospital lets you leave with another life that is your responsibility. That first drive home I felt like my car was a bullseye and the world was trying to hit me.

30 minutes on the track running intervals today, no idea how fast or far I went but it felt good to actually be outside in the brisk air

I may have to ditch the treadmill while the weather is still nice in TX

Another 2 yesterday to stay on track with my twice per week plan. Stronger. Probably will do 2 again next week and then up it to 3 the following week. Really trying to avoid the little injuries from pushing too hard to get back to where I was.

4 miles at tempo today.

0 children.

Picked these up today to add to the collection.

4.5 miles with the dogs in a couple of inches of slushy snow. Temps in the mid 30s.

Looks like they need to recalibrate their screen printing machine...

Is that the VaporMax Flyknit?

Rookies on the job, but I’ll cut these 7-year olds some slack. It’s only their 4th year in the factory.

Is that the VaporMax Flyknit?

This is the ‘Vaporfly 4%’ — at this point I just collect and stockpile them for future road races. It’s a controversial shoe that allegedly yields the highest evergy return in ‘lab tests’. People cite the full length carbon fiber plate as a cantilever-type mechanism and thus being an unfair advantage. However Misuno has been using the tech since the 90’s, so it’s nothing new. Others say it’s all about the ‘Zoom-X’ foam.

Net/net its a bunch of marketing bullshit. But placebo or not I feel faster pushing a hard pace in this model so I buy em.

 

[Fueco]

6.5 miles with the dogs (8:58/mile pace, 58:32 total time), much of it on partially frozen slush. Temps in the mid 30s.

I also PR'd the .63 mile Strava segment that contains most of the climbing in mile 5.

 

[Dusty Heaters]

Going back to this format, much easier.

I increased to 2 miles today, and had some soreness in my hip and knee subsequently.
