2026 American Tobacco Trail Marathon
I finished my second full marathon today. It was mostly awesome. The first half seemed to fly by. Just don’t ask about those last 5 or so miles. Brutal. My watch says I’ve gone nearly 50,000 steps today. My two big toes are so sensitive to touch I nearly howled when Vivian accidentally stepped on…

Natural Magic, WAAN, İlhan Erşahin, and more of my favorite albums from February 2026
It’s the end of February and I’m so glad that spring is coming as I’m totally sick of this winter weather and ready for some sun! The new album damn definitely felt like it broke towards the end of the month though, so that is going to make this update all the more interesting. Here…
