Today we had our semi-annual relay at my all-remote workplace (Automattic). In case you don’t remember (see my past runs here and here), here’s how it works: instead of us all meeting and running together (which we can’t because we’re all remote and all over the world), we sign up for time slots over a 24-hour period and try to have at least one person at the company running at any time to “complete” a full relay as the sun goes around the earth, never setting on our race. This was the 10th edition. I’ve done quite a few of them. It’s pretty cool.
The thing that makes it fun is that we all share when we start and finish in a Slack channel, along with pictures and anecdotes, so it definitely feels like we’re together doing something.
We also all share our results publicly, and you can see me here: https://a8c5k.run/2026/03/26/nick-severson-3/
Nothing crazy in terms of a run, but it is still pretty close to the last marathon I ran, and my toes are still f’ed up, so there was that.
I love running. 😃
