I have been a regular runner all of my adult life, doing 10-15k 3x/week nowadays, well down from my younger average of 60-75k/week. But this type of running is just astonishing to me. Completely incomprehensible. I’m really in awe. Two hundred fifty miles?!?!

And here I am feeling a bit stiff and creaky from this morning’s flat 12k. Jeez. #running #RunnersOfMastodon

Nice morning walk through the ranch on the edge of town.

I think there were way more olive-sided flycatchers than just 5 but eBird gave me shit about it and I didn’t feel like justifying my ears to someone who wasn’t there.

Hey #RunnersOfMastodon I have an apparel question!

I need to buy some new running shirts soon, which will double as gym shirts on non-run days. For years I’ve cycled through simple Nike or Under Armor short-sleeve tees, which have always been fine enough, but over enough time, 100% polyester can get pretty funky, no matter the wash frequency.

I’d really prefer to avoid buying more plastic clothing, shredding pieces of itself during every wear and wash. Are there light weight, high-quality, natural fiber exercise clothes that are functional? There’s plenty of expensive “athleisure” stuff, but I’m not convinced that will perform over time. Any thoughts?
