#5KADay 754+ #running 8.39km 5’54”/km, Tuesday at track, blustery, ran last 3km in new shoes, which hurt much less than starting a run in new shoes. My L hand hurts pretty badly, my knees are a bit tired so I had to ease up at ~ 4kms in. Bruised my quad w/B12💉🥹, #runchat #runsky #runningpunks
#5KADay 653+ #running monday 7.17 km at 6’02” average pace with the track fiasco that so many of you #Runsky peeps supported me with 😇. Thx!🙏 (Plz don’t disturb other 🏃♀️ by excessively using them for pacing heats, esp when someone changes directions on a track…repeatedly) #Runchat #Runningpunks

abandoned my “safe” track run rn as I recoup from injury on the Ahlone Greenway b/c a shirtless older runner kept pace-markering. 1st I switched directions, he did too, I switched directions immediately&he did too, then I asked him to stop using me to pace. He refused #running #runchat #runningpunks
#5KADay 752+ #running a very gentle 40mins on Sunday after getting running injuries Saturday. Knees mostly ok but a little tenderness/pulling. Pain/tightness L shoulder to L hand. Started experiencing more pain in early evening, feel better this morning #runchat #runsky #runningpunks
The hubby is on deck cooking with my running injuries. It’s weird telling him what to do in the kitchen. His job is usually to stream podcasts. (I did just have to remind him the fresh pasta only takes 2-3 mins and to reserve some water)
RN in Oklahoma half of women can expect to experience romantic partner domestic violence. American women are taught to tolerate - or not file reports - for battery, sexual assault, DV and more. The same pressure is on workers tolerating unlawful abuses. It is not ok for the law to silence the abused

#5KADay 751+ #running 60 mins 9.45 km Saturday was a big fall out on the street past where the Ohlone Greenway ends on the El Cerrito side from ped/dog/car/sidewalk debris/oncoming car in intersection/broken pavement/3rd party resale of older brooks adrenaline 24 shoes #Runchat #Runsky #runningpunks
Last night I dreamt I needed special permission to fly to London, all the plane gates were off a stacked cylindrical tower of jetways and I only had 60 seconds to find the right door and it would lock immediately. My family is impacted by DC on the regular. This timeline is brutal.
My uncle recently saw Bob in the Seattle region. I’m really hoping to see Jakob & The Wallflowers in October in SLO or something🤞. I crashed my car down a mountain in Montana with Three Marlena’s blasting and Homer AP English summer homework finished in my trunk. (I had to re-do it all)
Fathering Jakob was the best thing Bob Dylan ever did for music.
Cars and dog walkers please do better on sidewalks and at intersections. My continuous 1 hr recovery run was just derailed. #running #runningpunks #runchat #Runsky Unfortunately, with no shade the albany track was too sunny/hot already. The Ohlone Greenway dead end to traffic sucks.
#5KADay 750+ #running a sub 30min 5k (5’59”/km) & an ~18 min ~3k @ 6’06”/km pace. Stats in km & miles. Another ~5km negative split run + 18 min run pushing it. July: 150 mile month 😍. August will b more relaxed with ~ 7 travel days. #runchat #runsky #runningpunks
#5KADay 749+ #running 5.09km with negative splits & a series of 2 ~1.1 km “sprints” for added VO2Max to scramble 🍏⌚️👀. Late a.m., bright sun, sun cream on, windy, knees got tender with faster paces #Runchat #Runsky #runningpunks
I just got put on a Dirty Leeds Fan blocklist. No one needs to break it to them that I probably haven’t seen a Leeds game in ~ 20 yrs maybe. 🤭 I assume @rednblack.net is very drunk.
Great read for anyone else contemplating #running everyday. I was already working with a physio therapist because of chronic musculoskeletal problems before starting my journey and since July 2024 I do check-ins 1 to 3 times a year and do PT work as warm-up & cool down daily. I’m 47
I am a runner who started late in life. After starting running at the age of 68, I (mostly) run every day. Here's my why & how. www.conferencesthatwork.com/index.php/ru... #running #SeniorRunning #RunningEveryDay #benefits #RunningProblems #RunningSolutions
#5KADay 748+ #running Wed was ~8kms on path. 5.1kms at 90%, 6’06”, then ~3km/18min VO2Max push, 6’00”. I fumbled with the watch as a passed a chaotic lumbering runner that didn’t want to be passed but kept taking walk breaks. Here’s my gratuitous *suggestive* post 🤭 #Runchat #Runsky #Runningpunks
In 2021 I contacted WA elected official Jamie Pedersen re significant, systemic wrongdoing by City of Seattle, SDOT & its admin arms in charge of EEOC & retaliation against employees lawfully performing job duties. Pedersen did nothing. This morning I passed that on to opposition #Whistleblower
So, um, who’s out there on Bluesky and @safety.bsky.app doing gender based sexual harassment by claiming women in a sports bra and sport shorts in a weightloss app image is sexually suggestive? Did Simple.Life actually mark it to throttle coverage. Stop shunning women out there bluesky users.
I’m going to do a light-hearted exploration of #weightloss programs in my efforts to find a calorie/motivation program to return to my pre-dupixent pre-GreenPan Pre-Move weight of 138 lbs Nov 2024. I always focus on body recomposition so I’m not overweight at 152 lbs, but this is an overweight BMI
So I ran 5.1 kms at a 6’06” pace, took ~ 4 min walk, and then I did an ~ 18 min 3km test into headwinds to reset heart rate intervals to reset my V02Max outputs by @applefitness.bsky.social @applefitnessplus.bsky.social. I tried this once before and it 🍏 VO2max just seemed to ‘ef up the calcs more
There r technical fed employees on FT WFH for decades across the U.S. & they work on rigorous production quota cycles. The Trump/DOGE regime has them doing uncompensated lunch&learns for mandated training. It’s not “lunch” on the west coast. This is wage theft. These are not Booz Allen contractors
#5KADay 747+ #running recovery 5.7K, 6’20”/km avg pace Tuesday after Monday’s 16k. Quads were tired! Didn’t really warm up until the final km and today will be another recovery 🏃♀️. Warm, sunny, strong headwinds coming back south #runsky #runchat #runningpunks
Actual tip for @applefitnessplus.bsky.social dev ops: take a hint from Noom and let us pick food/substance rings that help us meet activity goals to abstain from added sugar, abstain from alcohol, or meet our fiber and protein goals. Having it all in 🍏Fitness would practically guarantee I keep 🍏⌚️
CNN compares renting an Apartment in America to leasing an iPhone. It’s gonna be a newer braver world for increased exploitation for essential IT hardware and services in the United States.
There are plenty of things you can lease: a car, an apartment or an office space, for example. Now you can add your next iPhone to that list. https://cnn.it/44WO8FZ
