beautiful day and city for running!

Yana van der Meulen Rodgers @yanarodgers.bsky.social · Jan 3

Running during a break from #ASSA2025 is such a great way to see the sights and catch up with #Econ5k friends @inaganguli.bsky.social and @dbergstresser.bsky.social

Ina Ganguli @inaganguli.bsky.social · Jan 3

Had a great run with @yanarodgers.bsky.social and @dbergstresser.bsky.social! We even saw the “Goldin” Gate Bridge 🌁😊

Group run at ASSA meetings: if you're interested in joining a group run around SF tomorrow, a group will be meeting at 1pm SF time at the NE corner of Market and Montgomery, and going from there. Likely that route will involve running along the Embarcadero, pace tbd by group consensus

I can’t think of a better 1st post on Bluesky introducing myself than posting today’s #Econ5K 🏃‍♀️ result. With Ironman 70.3 World Champs just 2 weeks ago, followed by lots of hiking at sea level, and some junk miles 🚴‍♀️ the last few days, I’m happy that I could produce some speed back at elevation 🥳

Just submitted my entry for the “artistic merit” award for this year’s #Econ5k. We ran the shape of the Liberty Bell in Philly this morning. A bit more than 5k but hopefully top marks for creativity. Thnx @econ5k.bsky.social for the incentive to do this :)

Time for our dept's annual entry into the @econ5k.bsky.social group category! With @dbergstresser.bsky.social, @owenozier.bsky.social, Pam Jakiela, and Jon Bakija, what we lack in number of participants this year we make up for in style!

Four runners crossing a street at a crosswalk, looking astonishingly like the Beatles. The sky is blue and it is cold out.

The map of the running route, from Strava or something like it.

Thanks as always to the orgs; I feel this is really now a full-fledged institution!! 🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️
