    The Sun Never Sets on A8C Relay X

    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…

    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…

    Notes from the trail 10.01 (Sun Never Sets Edition)

    My running game has kinda been on autopilot ever since my month of running 150 miles and the marathon earlier this year. However, at my work we had the 9th edition of our “Sun Never Sets” 5k relay, so you know I had to lace up the trainers for that.

    150 miles

    One of my goals for May was to switch up my typical running flow and run shorter distances more frequently. I ended up running 5 miles a day for a total of 150 miles for the month, and my daughter was with me for the last one tonight.
