Wow!!! I haven’t run in that kind of fog in years and I had forgotten how differently running in it can be. No, it isn’t about the 100% humidity, which is bad enough. Running in this kind of fog changes your senses of what is going on around you. You don’t see or hear things as sharply, everything is muted, while at the same time … Continue reading Fog Makes Everything Feel Different – 11/30/2020
Running is sometimes not really a high priority in my life and then at other times it is the thing that really helps me through the day. It is a part of who I am and provides me with excuses to get outside and have mini adventures almost everyday. No run is ever the same even if you have run the same route a multitude … Continue reading Middle Road Loop Adventure
This morning it was just too muddy down back and I didn’t feel like doing a Pepin something again, so in my infinite wisdom, I decided to go run in Augusta. I haven’t run anyplace other than from the house since October 29th and I am getting tired of seeing the same scenery and this morning gave me a good excuse to do something different. … Continue reading BMV 10K – Consistency
Since my brain is frazzled, bedazzled or is that just gone missing, but anyway that you look at it my long-form writing, motivation and the Muse have been missing for a few weeks. Yeah, the continued crap with the election and pandemic have completely gutted what is left in the old noggin. So I am going back to something that always seems to bring me … Continue reading First Run On Cloudflyers 1.0
My father, who was not what you could call a conformist to society’s norms by any stretch of the imagination, told me all too often while growing up and as an adult that I was just about a half a bubble off center. No…he didn’t mean it as a compliment. It meant that I was doing things he didn’t understand or like that his son … Continue reading It’s Okay to Be a Bit Odd
Well, I can say that I am glad that that week is over. With all the election shit still going on, the pandemic becoming a national issue again, the medical issues with a couple of our pets, it is has been a long week. Election — Biden appears to have won both the Electoral College and the popular vote. However, for many reasons beyond simply … Continue reading Week in Review — 11/15/2020
With all the crap we have been going through lately — there is too much doom and gloom in the world. It is time to have some fun and think a little differently or at least outside the box for a few minutes on this heah blog. I have played fantasy role-playing games (both computer and in person) for far too many years. With the … Continue reading Let’s Have Some Fun for a Change
Okay, let’s be real, I can’t focus worth shit on writing, reading or most of the other things that I normally do when it comes to blogging and learning new things. I probably will not be able to, until the dust has settled a lot more regarding the election and the pandemic — another month or so at least. Yeah, that is about how long … Continue reading No Focus = No Good Writing
I was reading John P. Weiss’ latest post today and it dawned on me that while I didn’t want to start over again, I did have a lot of old social media sites, old blogs, “friends” and other stuff just hanging around in the background online that are unnecessary. It was almost as if reading that John’s post gave me permission to do some things that … Continue reading Some More Changes — Week In Review November 1, 2020
Today is the kind of day that I really am not crazy about running: light rain, temps in the mid 30s and just a bit of a breeze. Cold, wet and miserable. I was seriously considering taking the day off and not worrying about it. Then TheWife decided that she was headed out for her run and was planning to go around Middle Road. Okay, … Continue reading Getting Out The Door – RunLog November 1, 2020
