We Don’t Need An Amazon Warehouse Next To A Park!
Here’s the thing. There is so much happening in the world. Too much. We are all on overload. We want to stay informed but wee are bombarded with news. Most of which is bad. There is little traction for good news. Which, we desperately need. Many of…
Why Am I Swimming Now?
As I have built myself up as a runner I have made many friends. Some of those friends are multi sport athletes. I began riding a bike. And I have for a while now toyed with the idea of taking on a triathlon. Then in 2025 after a year of big bike adventures which included…
It was such a beautiful day today. I spent some time in the backyard playing with and photographing our dogs. Then I spent some time in the front yard photographing birds. Oh yeah and it was super bright and sunny and I was wearing just shorts and a T-shirt.

Got out for a nice run with River this morning thanks to friends who text “what are your running plans for today?”

I love how happy this Border collie looks from a dog show in 2025.

Great day for an @southerntierrunningclub group run and bonus miles. Weather changes always throw me off. Didn’t know what to wear. Started off with a few light layers and ended up in just a T-shirt after the sun came out and heated things up. Kept the pace nice and comfortable.

This was a very interesting and kind of terrifying conversation about government use of AI. The Penopticon is very close to being real.

Second run in the rain this week and Saturday’s long run looks to be a rainy affair as well. But at least today’s speed work was short and sweet and the exact workout that hits my sweet spot for effort and enjoyment.
Of course when I start up my new training block for the final push to my A goal ultramarathon it’s just going to rain every day.

“The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.”

And I really liked the series of images I captures with the Chickadees feeding at the bird shaped bird feeder where you can see the face of the birdfeeder. I found that amusing. How about you?
On Friday for the first time in a while I went outside with the specific intention of just photographing birds. I recently filled the birdfeeders and I wanted to see what birds were around. There were a lot of Black Capped Chickadees.

Today the training plan called for a 50 minute easy run. I decided to break it up so that I could run with River at home and then run with Debby at the @southerntierrunningclub group run. Beautiful day for a pair of runs.

I love big dogs and this beautiful Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is no different. So reminiscent of the Bernese Mountain Dogs that we have had it home over the years, but also quite distinct. They tend to look a little bigger and stronger and also the short hair is different. #photography
I did a new to me practice. I really liked this Chair Yoga practice as it gives me some movement and stretching that I can do right at my desk without any adjustments. If you are stuck at a desk you should give it a try.

Luckily the training plan called for a 30 minute run at an easy pace. I hit the paces that I was supposed to but it felt anything but easy. Especially the first mile. This was all I could muster. But still so happy to have run.
I was so excited to go home and run. It was sunny. The temperature was decent compared to most of this winter. Got outside and my legs had no juice. It was a struggle bus run all the way.

When people who grew up in the Soviet Union are sounding the alarm bells about the crisis here and now in the United States we need to listen. They have seen how this goes first hand.
