So, I’ve got this Blue Ridge Double Marathon in April. Two and a half months away. The last time I ran it, it broke me pretty hard. And I spent months training for it. Like, at least three full months. Training. Because Tiny Brazilian made me. I’m not currently training. Because no one is making … Continue reading Needed: Training Master

Official Start of 2020
I slept until noon today. New Years Day. The first day of 2020, I slept until noon. But also? I woke up at 3:30am. Because yesterday. OT said we were meeting at 5:30. AM. In the Dragon’s Tooth parking lot. Which meant leaving my home at 4:15. AM. Me at 3:41 AM (trying to do … Continue reading Official Start of 2020
Lost: Christmas Mountain Edition
We had a plan yesterday. December Endurance Day. And while I wasn’t involved in the actual planning of any of it. I was still involved. So I probably owe my people an apology for the shit show it turned into at one point. But really. It’s on them. I think. If I’d had to work … Continue reading Lost: Christmas Mountain Edition
My Next Tattoo
I’m supposed to meet Beautiful Beastie at 9 this morning. For December Endurance Day. Because we feel like that needs to be a thing now. Not we. They. She. Someone. Someone feels like that. It’s raining. I’ve got coffee. And a bed. And my body is still grumbling about yesterday. So I feel like I … Continue reading My Next Tattoo
Missing My Life’s Purpose
I’ve got to stop sitting in movie theaters after running. So, you remember high school English? When they taught you about foreshadowing? Yeah. So that message came from K-Rob-D. Sunday evening. It’s the first time in my life I actually get to take part in winter break. And not work other jobs straight through it. … Continue reading Missing My Life’s Purpose
North Mountain Challenge Drama
Before I tell you this story, let me just say that I only had one cup of coffee before we ran the mountain this morning. Plus. North Fucking Mountain. Very little good ever happens there. For me. Also, I didn’t really wanna go. I could hear my phone ding with a new message while I … Continue reading North Mountain Challenge Drama
Average Tuesday Night
Everything hurts. I spent the entire day yesterday watching my phone. I mean, working, too. Obviously. But also, just watching. My phone. Just waiting for these people to cancel North Mountain. Who the fuck runs North Fucking Mountain on a Tuesday night? In December? In the middle of Fall SOL testing? Apparently us. If it … Continue reading Average Tuesday Night
Catawba Run But Not Around
So, my girls ran the Athens Marathon yesterday. Or they are running it. Yesterday. Or maybe they’re running it right now. I don’t really understand the time-space continuum between continents. I might’ve figured it out during the time I lived in Ireland. If I’d made it outside of a pub every now and then. Also, … Continue reading Catawba Run But Not Around
A Very KRob Christmas
Yesterday was K-Rob-D’s birthday. So we decided to celebrate. By taking her out to eat. At Red Lobster. Because... Wait. No. No, that wasn’t us. That’s what normal families do. We are not a normal family. We celebrate each other differently. And we plan a lot. And this celebration has been in planning for about … Continue reading A Very KRob Christmas
PM2HR Ultra
Ok. We’re gonna need some ground rules for this week. Let’s limit the amount of walking you ask me to do. If you need something, you come to me. And if you expect to communicate when you get to me, have coffee in your hand. For me. The coffee should be for me. Things hurt. … Continue reading PM2HR Ultra
