Skratch sent that message yesterday afternoon. Before the 5 o’clock PlayFITStayFIT class. And let me tell you just how much bullshit that message was. “Collateral damage” Right. So, here’s how this shit went down. So we’re there. At the PlayFITStayFIT. Me. Skratch. Fall Risk also shows up. And I’m all happy. Because I’ve got these … Continue reading It Gets Worse

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
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
RVTR Into The Darkness Reunion
Yesterday, during my home visits, the father of one of my probationers told me I can’t go out on the mountains today. I mean, he didn’t exactly say it as an order. He was wearing a pink shirt. You can only be taken but so seriously while wearing a pink shirt. Except on Wednesdays. That’s … Continue reading RVTR Into The Darkness Reunion
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
50k Training. Finally.
I’m sitting in the comfy chair. In sweatpants. Drinking Irish coffee. Watching football. Reading books. Icing my ankle. And my hips. The swayless ones. Remember how I have a 50k trail race next weekend? Remember how I haven’t trained, or even run, at all since Iron Mountain? Remember how I’m in this step competition at … Continue reading 50k Training. Finally.
End Of A Birth Celebration Week
It's Friday, y'all. My birthday week is winding down. There will be no fitness for me today. Because yesterday So what's happening here is this. NO ONE except Liz and I showed up for Arm Day yesterday. And because J-Vicious knows that partner workouts are the worst things ever... This is me holding a low … Continue reading End Of A Birth Celebration Week
Arm Day Errors
I didn't use the restroom at work at all yesterday. Not because I didn't need to. Or because I didn't have time. But because leg day. Because I struggled with the transition between sitting and standing. Because the specific design of a toilet seat aggravates my already angry hamstrings. So when I got to PlayFITStayFIT, … Continue reading Arm Day Errors
Jarmans Invitational Marathon: Race Report
Soooo, Jarmans Invitational Marathon. JIM Are you familiar with this...event? Possibly not. It's a bit of a hidden gem here in Virginia. Probably not one of those high class gems. Definitely not like a diamond or a sapphire. Sapphires are fancy, right? I'm gonna say it's more of like an amethyst. I feel like amethysts … Continue reading Jarmans Invitational Marathon: Race Report
North Mountain. Again.
Freakin North Mountain. Again. This is my last full week before I officially go fulltime at the high school.

We didn't really specify what that adventuring … Continue reading North Mountain. Again.
