Non-elite runner trying to run well.
@WTL I was course marshaling a race for 2 hours this morning where it was 28 F with 15-20 mph winds. 28 F is generally nothing but wind chill is real, especially over time.
@Hieronymous call it 10
Completed my last run of 2022. Highest mileage total, most consistent, and toughest training in my 42 years of running despite some set-backs. Hope to do better in 2023 and I think I will. #run #running
I’m declaring victory over my post-NYC Marathon injuries. Now time to rebuild the base. 13 F felt alright with the right gear. Go out again tomorrow. #running
Narrow band of showers moving through #RVA right now with winds picking up and that drastic drop in temperatures arriving around 10. #rvawx #vawx

Today I present you the SUBLIME Taiwan Blue Magpie!

While beautiful, they are not afraid of people and they have strong nest defense behavior. According to locals, it is not uncommon for them to swoop down onto humans from trees and peck their heads!

@ilyaraz Think long-term. Do the stuff most runners hate (including me but I’m getting better at it) and come back stronger than before.
Kinda looking forward to running with temps in the 10’s to low teens (F not C) starting Saturday. I’m sure I will tire of it by the time I’m doing mile repeats in February. I guess its the novelty of using the really cold weather running gear after many months dealing with the heat. Of course, it gets harder to keep my hands warm each year. Age. Anyone feel that way about early season cold snaps? #running
Added another 1+ mile today and all ok during and post run. Couple more runs and I will declare victory. #running
If you reduce your running volume but not your food volume, your overall volume may increase. #running #snacks #truth
