Besides Park Run (which I know it is contentious to call it a race!) I have not actually run a race in over a year.
I picked up my race bib for the Fall Classic 10 miler for tomorrow morning.

I know there are far cheaper solutions, but a sticky E key on my laptop has led me down the rabbit hole of deciding to buy a whole new computer today. Also. It is overdue.
But the point being that it’s so tough to be a writer without the letter E that things sort of spiralled from there.

Good news, my new shockz wireless headphones arrived in the mail yesterday and I got to try them out on run number 14 of my daily running streak. They are bone conduction so they don’t block the ol’ ear holes and are supposed to be safer for situational awareness like traffic and heavy machinery.

Are you living with the mild panic that using an em dash will bring with it the societal scorn of 2025—that your readers will assume your writing is AI-generated?
