Knitting bobbles. Yay or nay? 🧶 #knitting #skytok

On the trail, most people seem harmless. But sometimes, things get weird out there. New on my Substack. lisashroyer.substack.com/p/giving-peo... #writingcommunity #substack #hiking #hikers

About the time I hit 15 miles weekly, I get a tight/sore hip flexor. It might also be from running on snow/ice. Any good warmups for psoas/hip flexor issues? Obligatory midrun dog photo #running #runners #racetraining

i’d like to feel what that feels like for 3 seconds

Which hat is not handknitted? 🧶 #knitting #skytok

This long piece on Mike White and The White Lotus helped me understand why I dislike most TV but I love this show. Can’t wait for Season 3.

Morning run in the canyon. Can’t wait for the Peaks to Plains trail to be done! this is such a nice run. #runners #goldencolorado #clearcreekcanyon

I did this. In the year I’ve been unemployed, I volunteered hundreds of hours with an outdoors nonprofit and I took an AI class. Now, I’m feral and I can speak to robots.

The only thing interesting about Valentine’s Day is this story I wrote about being chronically single and addicted to adventure. #substackers #writingcommunity #writers #singleladies #valentine

I’m in the phase of race training where I don’t want to run. It’s 14 degrees out. I want to eat pastries. This week my long run is 7 miles and I feel the motivation slipping. what’s your training pep talk? #running #runners #racetraining

Lackluster January precipitation led to a decline in snowpack above Lake Powell.

In today’s crashout edition of “Things I Shouldn’t Have Said on Linkedin”: Boss babe was just Female Chauvinist Pigs in Kohls dress pants. One step closer to being so unemployable, I’m the next big thing. #books #feminism #linkedincringe

the biggest irony rn is that, in my Gen AI class, I’m not allowed to use Gen AI to do my homework. is this some new kind of theoretical paradox? i’ma call it Shroyer’s Robot #artificialintelligence #genai

What are your lesser-known or underrated outdoor spots? I’ll go first: Wheeler Geologic Area, specifically at sunrise (southern Colorado) #hiking #landscapephotography #naturephotography

Happy year of the snake! I would argue that the snakes of the United States are just as varied and pretty as our birds. A few years ago I made a poster to try and prove it. Drawing this took many months and a lot of research. You can get it here: topatoco.com/collections/...

I think that I shall never see A boyfriend lovely as a tree. #trees #hiking #poetry

This new song from Sharon Van Etten is giving me tingles #newmusicfriday

Every Friday, I publish a Substack about mountain adventure and front-country f*ckery. Here’s a piece about how I quit my job, at 42, with zero plans. lisashroyer.substack.com/p/some-of-th...

Another thing - Denver - we have a lot of roundabouts. Contrary to what you thought, these are neither 1) a four-way stop or 2) the Indy 500. How could they possibly be both? #denver

This year, be the driver who stops in time for a runner in the crosswalk and puts a hand up, palm forward. Don’t be the one who slams on the brakes halfway in, then gives that frustrated scooping hand to say “go already!” when the runner stops because they thought they might get hit. #runners

How did you tear your rotator cuff, Lisa? Making the bed. How on earth ? I bought a 17-pound weighted blanket. Why did you do that? Because the weight of the world is not enough to quell my dread. So, now what? I stopped making the bed. #neurodivergent

Since Capcut is not working (also owned by TikTok parent ByteDance), I’m back to Splice for a video editor. It’s pretty good, but the music library is … dare I say… 🌽🌽🌽 #skytok #video #capcut #tiktokban #mobilevideoediting

At this point, screw TikTok — why isn’t Capcut back up? I want to edit videos for other places now 🥲 #tiktokban #capcut

How cool is it that I worked the word “coroner” into the first sentence of my memoir? THANKS DAD #writingcommunity

In wilderness first aid, we learned you have to keep an exposed bone…moist.

I went to the mountains and stayed in an off-grid cabin for 3 days last week. This was my view. It’s good to breathe, chop wood, and sleep by a fire sometimes. Wish I could go for 4 years 🫠
