I'm a 3:45 marathoner now. I never thought I would say that, but here I am, 12 years since my last marathon PR.

Peres Jepchirchir has won the Olympic, World Champs, Boston, NYC, and London marathons. An insane record...
She just tested positive for EPO.
She essentially stole at least $1.5 million in prize money alone in her career. Much more in appearance and sponsorship.
I went to a lovely holiday party tonight, and now I'm home taking my vitamins with Liquid IV, chamomile nights tea, and popcorn. This is either #runnerproblems or #geriatric problems.

A 14-years old Derek Trucks jamming on a special song, Layla, and he's opening for Allman Brothers live on stage, Raleigh, NC Walnut Creek Amphitheater, in 4th of July, 1993.
Such an amazing talent on stage performing another classic for a beautiful opening.
Just brilliant.

Worth reading the details here- amazing what athletes will come up with when faced with a ban. 2:10:38 marathon PB, refused blood test after competition.
The AIU has banned Anouar El Ghouz (Morocco) for 4 years from 9 September 2025 for Evading, Refusing or Failing to submit to Sample Collection. DQ results from 8 February 2025

Happy Pi Day! I ran two times pi, intentionally circling around the grocery store to get the exact mileage. And then I went in that store and bought a pie.

Reading news that kids need a 4.15 grade-point average to get into UC Davis now. When I got in, my high school didn't even offer more than 4.0. #old

I forgot that I made a Blue Sky account. I have no idea how to find people, but I'm the same name there.

New Orleans, LA has received more than double the amount of snowfall we've received here in Anchorage, AK since the start of meteorological winter (Dec. 1). New Orleans: 8.0"
Anchorage: 3.8"
@NWSNewOrleans, we'd like our snow back. Or at least some King Cake in return. 😉🙃

REST IN PEACE ❤️🩹 | In 2018, a tiny kitten was found glued to a road in Salem. A Good Samaritan saved him from this unusual cruelty, and the kitten, named Sticky, became the face of a foundation promoting hope and kindness - and a children's book star!

Good, because have you ever scraped a utensil across Styrofoam? *shudder*
A new year means new laws taking effect in Oregon. One of those new laws, the statewide ban on Styrofoam to-go containers, will come with an added cost to businesses and likely consumers.
