Every time my toddler tries to run away from me, I think, "I have been training for this my whole life. Unless you intend to run for longer than a day, this will not end well for you."

As prospective philosophy grad students head out for their visits in the coming weeks, I think fondly of one of mine. USADA showed up to dinner the first night to give me a surprise drug test & I had to explain to the head of the department what was happening. Sports and academics are a great pair!

Things I've written that have generated animus: - raising questions about supershoes. I wear supershoes. I just think it's important to assess the impact of new technologies on the sport - when I asked about potential costs of ordering our lives entirely in terms of bio-optimization & longevity

I saw a friend I haven’t spoken to since undergrad, and he asked me if I (1) still run a lot and (2) am still super into Hegel. 😂 One of these was just a phase, but I won’t tell you which.

We taught my toddler how to FaceTime us using the family iPad in case of emergency. Anyway, she called me three times during my morning run just to chat. Very good idea.

Third trimester running - yesterday meant 11 miles with 7.5 at 6:50 avg, today meant getting winded walking upstairs. It's really a do-your-best-whatever-that-means-that-day kind of season.

It is very important to run hard on your long writing days so that your outsides are as tired as your insides. Otherwise, your fatigue is asymmetrical.

Week 1 of the semester in the books ✅ 9 hours of lecturing, plus office hours and meetings, after a couple of weeks of straight research and writing...I don't want to hear my own voice again until Monday. So much talking required.

Eleven miles later, I stopped my watch — satisfied, yet aware that my run was a castle constructed out of lies. I never intended to stop early, but I told myself that I would. New column: I wrote about self-deception in endurance sports. www.irunfar.com/are-we-all-j...

I prepped 10 weeks of lectures and assignments ahead of time so I can pretend I am a research professor and focus on my writing projects to start off the term despite a teaching-heavy load. Follow me for more bad life tips.
