Some run to clear their head. I have to have a clear head to run. It didn’t happen tonight. Long day at work. Stuff on my mind. And I saw a neighbor I hadn’t talked to in awhile. So big deal if it wasn’t “great.” In some ways, it was better than great. 1.22 27:35 13:30 mile #SoFlyMiles2025 18.31

Jesse Eisenberg’s “A Real Pain” surprised me. A short, moving, funny film about family trauma with a standout performance from Kieran Culkin. I really liked it. 4/5 #movies #film

“He (the king) will rescue the poor when they cry to him; he will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them. He feels pity for the weak and the needy, and he will rescue them. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to him.”

Work ran late (again) so I ran late. Well, jogged late. Maybe my most comfortable run. Breathing was right. Legs weren’t tight. And Slayer gave me the ridiculous idea to kick in the afterburners for the last 500 feet. 1.43 18:13 Mile 1: 13:10 #SoflyMiles2025 17.09 #running #jogging

Holy crap. I haven’t done two miles in years. And a negative split to boot. Granted, my dead grandma could jog faster than me. But I didn’t walk. And best of all, I didn’t pass out in a ditch. 2.02 27:37 Mile 1: 13:53 Mile 2: 13:27 #running #jogging

“The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

Set out too fast. Couldn’t find my rhythm. Sinuses started draining. Had to walk for the first time this go around. And unlike before, I don’t care. Still got after it. 13:05 12:40 mile 1.03 #SoflyMiles2025 13.64 #running #jogging
