Once again, an Eminem run. Nothing exciting happened. Other than nearly getting ran over by a car, so there was that 💁🏻‍♂️. #running #runchat #runner #blueskyrunning

-19F windchill; -25F* cold af running INTO the windchill. Hopefully the last day experimenting with de-icing the ski goggles. The thicker film of dish soap helped. fuckme, that was cold. *🤷🏼‍♂️ #running #ruchat #runnersofbluesky #embracerhesuck 🥶

10k in the -8F (-23F / -Lots C windchill) snowy-ish run. For some reason, the sidewalks were oddly quiet 💁🏻‍♂️. #running #runchat #runnersofbluesky

Didn’t want to run in -11F/-24C this morning. So I didn’t. Ran this afternoon in +12F/-11C. So much nicer! #running #ruchat #frozennoogieplums🚫

It is National Pizza Day, so this is your periodic reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek-Canadian named Sam Panopoulos at his Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario in 1962. A True Canadian Hero 🫡

EZ 6 after yesterday’s 20 miler. The domestic trails were quiet and it was nice to see the sun today. Thanks, Canada 🇨🇦, for listening; today’s wind was only 1 mph & from Colorado 💁🏻‍♂️. #ruunning #runchat #runner #trailrunning

This is so true and when you calmly explain the science behind the science using Cooking as an analogy, they lose their shit! @danakw.bsky.social

Trails at Hitchcock. 4160 ft (1268 m) of vert. Who knew in Iowa? The pace was good and reflects the forced 15 min aid stn stop as I frantically searched my Jeep for more coats & better gloves. 🥶 Hey Canadian Praries: go ahead & keep your north wind. I’m good. #trailrunning #running #rumchat

My opinion because it happened to me: Does the higher price offset the down-time from a running injury? Yes.

6 miles this morning in the banana top. It feels like I’m wearing a portable foam mattress, but warmth knows no fashion 💁🏻‍♂️. #running #runchat #runsky

That sentence hit extra hard because I started running post-midlife crisis!😳

Eminem run tonight because it was too icy to run it this morning. So I swapped the weights and run around to finish the day. My hands were under-dressed and I was cussing myself for not wearing heavier gloves 🧤. Training mistakes made now instead of on a race! #rumming #runchat #runsky

Trails on the Missouri River’s ancient river bank. The frost is coming out of the ground making slippy-mud. Tired of not-dying, on the mud, I ran the dry, but so much windier, side of Hitchcock Nature Conservancy. It was glorious! 🙌🏼 😁 #running #trailrunning #runner #trailrunner #runchat #runsky

Fuzzy 8 miles this morning. Probably because it was 37F and I wore shorts, & forgetting the cardinal rule of when I lived in Fargo: *The only reason it warms up in the middle of winter, is to snow* of course it was perfect weather for fuzzy snowflake flurries during the run. ❄️ #running #runchat

Flat, medium-long run on the trails. It got warm so the old-man-fuzzy-face goes away; like it kept me warm anyway 🙄. them: if 15 miles (24k) is a medium-long run, then what’s a long run? me: anything over 18 miles them: show off #runchat #runsky #trailrunner #running #runner
