Notes from the trail 02.17
I ran a 20 miler last week, and it hurt a bit more than I expected, but I’m basically where I need to be now for the marathon, and that feels good!

Notes from the trail 01.30
I reached a new milestone last week with a 15-miler. I texted my wife and said just 11.2 more miles. I’ve got a marathon in my sights now.

Notes from the trail 01.06
I was on an upward trend with my running all through 2024, and I hope to continue into the new year. I’ve also been lucky to capture some cool (to me) photos along the way. Look, an eagle!!

Notes from the trail 11.23
I had my longest single run of the year today (11 miles), but this shot was from yesterday’s 6.5-miler. One of the best (and strangest) things about it getting a bit cooler out in the mornings is that my runs seem to be much more solitary. I don’t know why more people aren’t out, but…
