That Naked belt is realllll nice!

Easy 3, mod 5k (22:40!), easy/mod 4 and some change.
us marathon old hat amby burfoot got no chill 😱

on kenyan ruth chepngetich’s recent 2:09:56 world record at chicago: the race "was unequivocally the greatest marathon performance of all time. And that makes me queasy. In fact, I’m outraged."

sour grapes or valid kicking of the tires?

easy day: 6,5 km, 5:50/km 🏃
yesterday I decided to run a light cross for 30 minutes, considering that I haven't done cardio for a long time

damn it, it was really hard, but I was able to

today my knees hate me
Fun run.

First long run in a long time. The goal was simple: just have fun.

Stopped to take pictures, grabbed a water from a convenience store, and even walked a bit when things got tough.

After finishing the run, took the monorail back close to home and then a 5km bike ride to help me back up the giant hill.
A few months ago, I worked with @web3designer on a t-shirt design for my son's nursery school. He did a bang-up job and a teacher at the school did some custom drawing for the back.

We just got the first shirt delivery today.

Super cool!!

(s/o to @bountycaster for making this whole thing possible 🙏)
Did you keep on running every day?
This past Saturday, I ran my first 50k ultramarathon in Big Bear, CA.

Finished in 6:50:36, excited for the next challenge.
Easy 10 with sprints to end it. MILEAGE COMPOUNDING INTO BEAST MODE 🐃

Inspired by @zeni.eth and @alor, I tried to do a tempo run.

My pace has been around 7 or a bit lower. I ran at 6:21. It was tough for me. But still good. I could not run for 40 minutes though. I stopped by 38.
2 km squeezed in the 30 min break

day one (again)
Who will be our 200th approved member?

Negative split is overrated 🤣🤣
First mini-tempo after yesterday's recovery.

All I can say is that I'm glad my race wasn't longer than 1500m 😅

Lots of work to do, but excited to lean into the new training.
This is my backyard, where I’ve enjoyed thousands of miles of running. Blessed 🙏🏼

Major congrats to Receipts’ very own Max Jolliffe for WINNING the Moab 240 ultra marathon (and setting a new course record!!)
Dear runners,

What’s your runner story? Why are you running? What are you running towards? (Who/what are you running from?!)
Mondays are rest days from running, so I tend to cram a mega work day, with any/all meetings (I hate meetings), to knock 'em all out.

Still foam rolled and kettle belled this morning, though!
"You weren't slower than him. You just died faster"

I asked an old running friend for advice on yesterday's race. He knows my general training routine (~1 mile a day, no breaks) and gave me some advice.

_Tempo runs to build strength._

I already have the speed, he said. But I died too fast at the end.

I watched the last 200 meters back a few times. This is where I lost the race.

He's 100% right.

Tempo runs, it is.

(Tempo runs suck, but I'll learn to love them)
