4am wake up this morning. As I waited for Rogue to get to my house, I read a little. The only way to combat a comfort crisis is to get uncomfortable. And no one is better at planning uncomfortable than Beautiful Beastie. Rogue and I met up with BB and GJB in the Peaks of … Continue reading Peak Discomfort

Mandatory Two a Days
Sometimes I make questionable fitness decisions. Largely because I desperately want to be able to keep running. Ideally, without struggling quite so hard as I do now. On Tuesday evening, I went to see William, my Massage Magician. "Have you ever had anything removed from this area?" This area being the front of my left … Continue reading Mandatory Two a Days
Lesson Learned
"What skills or lessons have you learned recently?" This is what WordPress asks you when you open a new post. I assume because they assume that I'm writing things that people may want to learn from. So, here's what I learned recently. It matters which way you install a doorknob. I live in an old … Continue reading Lesson Learned
IPA
So I was sitting there with my coffee reading my morning professional development book. When I get to this part.
Hellgate Recon (Floyd Field to Camping Gap)
I ran Terrapin Mountain 50k and Promise Land 50k++ in 2021. They didn't go well for me. I mean, I finished them. Within the cutoff time. But I just barely didn't finish dead fucking last. Beautiful Beastie scheduled more Hellgate recon for us yesterday. This time starting at Floyd Field. And running out to Camping … Continue reading Hellgate Recon (Floyd Field to Camping Gap)
Hellgate Recon (Glenwood Horse Trail)
I just had to remind Beautiful Beastie and Tiny Brazilian that it was 6 o’clock in the morning. On a Sunday. So they would stop making my phone make noises. There is no adventuring for me today. We did quite enough of that yesterday. We did some Hellgate recon yesterday morning. And all we were … Continue reading Hellgate Recon (Glenwood Horse Trail)
Lazy Muscles Massage
Got my pre-race massage last night. For the race I may or may not be able to run. Left the office 30 minutes early in order to make the 15-minute drive, as per my usual. And all y'all that ridicule me for this habit. (Fall Risk and Rogue.) This story validates the entirety of the … Continue reading Lazy Muscles Massage
Dadsplaining
Dadsplaining. Not to be confused with mansplaining. Which will actually make my entire head explode. Dadsplaining is just about the only way I have managed to survive for 48 years. Dadsplaining is why I can claim to be a strong, independent woman. (Usually I like to throw the word intelligent in there. But that seems … Continue reading Dadsplaining
Success List
Once again, I’m starting a post out with the declaration that I Am An Intelligent Person. *SIGH* I listened to a podcast this week that talked about using a Success List instead of a To Do list. To...be successful. Freaking brilliant. I talked about my To Do lists before. The massive number of activities on … Continue reading Success List
Race Accountability
They say when you want to achieve a goal, you share it. That way others help you maintain your accountability. Or, in my case, race accountability. I accidentally shared with my boss that I’m running Mountain Masochist 50 Miler in November. She put it in her calendar. She put it. In her calendar. And told … Continue reading Race Accountability
