When the 22nd of the month falls on a Saturday, it becomes a Tutu Day at @sunnyvalebaytrail.bsky.social! (Two two - 22nd; yes, it's a bit silly, but it's also surprising how many people own tutus!) I bring about 60 loaner tutus, and laundering them afterwards is a process.
Back in 2020, I was supposed to volunteer at the @WSER Last Chance aid station for the 10th time. But then, well, there was no WSER that year. So instead, I started posting on Twitter about the various volunteer shirts I had gotten through the years. I'm not bringing that thread to Bluesky.
Here is an absurdly long post I wrote about my 15th year at the Last Chance aid station at #wser. notthatlucas.blogspot.com/2026/07/wser...
WSER 2026 at Last Chance
For the second year in a row, there was some doubt I was going to be able to be at the Last Chance aid station at the Western States Enduran...

You can be the 1000th finisher at Sunnyvale Bay Trail parkrun this Saturday! (But you need to be pretty quick - the 13th finisher gets that glory!)
Sunnyvale Bay Trail parkrun@sunnyvalebaytrail.bsky.social · 7mo agoA bit late - here is the wrap-up for Sunnyvale parkrun evernt#6 After a week of never ending storms, it was great to be greeted with sunshine, even if the cool breeze kept you from thinking summer thoughts.

Love, and a few ducks, were in the air at event 5!
Sunnyvale Bay Trail parkrun@sunnyvalebaytrail.bsky.social · 7mo agoSunnyvale Bay Trail parkrun event #5 02/14/2026 There was much parkrun love in the air (and a few confused ducks) as 146 people finished our 5th event, helped along by 17 volunteers, many wearing red or pink to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

It took me too long to get this, but it's brilliant.

Pulling up the start line marker for the now shuttered Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun. Glad that the nearby @sunnyvalebaytrail.bsky.social is now going strong!
I keep thinking there's a red line he'll cross that will finally go too far, but I'm realizing that I only think that because my imagination is too limited.

IMPORTANT: Due to conflicts with two other events being held in the park this Saturday, the 13th, we have been asked to cancel our event for this weekend. The next event for us will be on the 20th, and in addition to the planned Ugly Sweater event, we will also hold the Holiday Cookie Swap that day.
EXCITING NEWS!!! On November 29th, a new Bay Area parkrun is starting up in San Francisco! Introducing Sunset Dunes parkrun! www.parkrun.us/sunsetdunes/
Here's a link to a thing I wrote to try to explain the transition from @byxbeeparkrun.bsky.social to @baylandsnatruepres.bsky.social . notthatlucas.blogspot.com/2025/10/what...
What's going on with Byxbee parkrun and the new Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun?
As many of you know by now, the Byxbee parkrun, for a while the only parkrun in California, has been paused. In its place, a new parkrun has...

Today was @byxbeeparkrun.bsky.social 250th event and 6th anniversary! There was cake, cupcakes, cookies - so many fun things to eat. And there was a reminder of why this was the last Byxbee parkrun for the foreseeable future - a mass of construction equipment doing construction things on a Saturday!
I just read this from @brittlestar.com as part of his email newsletter, and it is perfect. Thank you Stewart.
