Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

After running hard and heavy last week I took a couple of days off to rest. Plus work, weather, and life have been weird.
Waffled on going out this morning briefly but so glad I got out there. #runsky #negativesplits #positivethoughts

Officially dropped almost a quarter of my body weight in the past 22 months. And now I can run a fucking marathon. 😤 #runsky

My trainer asked what my goals are for working out. I told him:
- be too tired to really hear what shenanigans people are lobbing at me
- look intimidating enough a captor will reconsider kidnapping me
- nice arms for more tattoos

He has no idea what to do with that, but we are doing legs Monday 💪

Very happy with today’s long run. Kept it conversational except for the last mile and a half. Felt strong. #runsky

Going for a snowy long run and coffee this morning with my running buddy/mentor. Such a great start to the weekend! 💙 #runsky

It was about 15°F (9.4°C) for my run this morning. Mind over matter. 😤 #runsky

Wasn’t planning to run today but life had other plans. Grateful I got out there and ALMOST perfect splits.
Can’t say enough good things about the weatherized Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24. #runsky

Kicking off a new month/week with a brisk run and a spinach/berry smoothie. 💙 #runsky

Temp this morning was 24°F (-4.4°C) thankfully not too windy. Layered up and had one of the best feeling runs I’ve had recently. Shaking off a cold and a groin thing from earlier this week so I’m very happy to be moving like this. 💙 #runsky #negativesplits

Thankful today and every day for running and the crazy turkeys who do it with me. 💛 #runsky

Hit the track for some 800m repeats at sunset. Peaceful night. #runsky

Rest day yesterday had me pretty restless. I went for a long walk in the woods… I sometimes feel like a shark that has to stay in motion to keep breathing. Charity run this Thursday morning to look forward to this week, and the holiday weekend.

I’m celebrating big wins in my nutritional goals this week. Last October I started addressing the big problems with saturated fats in my diet and I’m seeing real progress in all measures.

Gorgeous day to complete my 5th half in 14 months. And only two weeks after my first marathon. I love running so much. 🥹 #runsky #raceday

Shook off a little rust before my half tomorrow. Feeling very strong two weeks out from the marathon. Beyond grateful my body can take me to these places.
Enjoying my new Garmin forerunner 165 & Brooks Adrenaline (weatherized!)
Plus it was misty tonight my fave weather 💛 #runsky

Mentally much needed miles and first hard effort since the marathon. Foot is still sensitive but I’m back to wearing insoles and it seems to help a lot. Curse these high arches 😑
Sunset is a little after 5 now so I’m just glad I had the energy to make it happen tonight. 💛 #runsky
November 20, 2025 at 3:26 AM
Overjoyed to be back at it. Light foot pain but I think I’ll be ready for a half this weekend. #runsky

Spent about two hours hiking in brown county this morning. Loving the fall sights, elevation, fresh air. Feet and legs feel strong. 💛 Heart full of gratitude.

Went for a bike ride last night and it felt great just to be outside and moving. Looking forward to a little hike tomorrow.

Runner friends- what are some of your favorite activities when you’re not running? I’m curious 🙂 #runsky

Started marathon training in July. Missed my cycle entirely in September and October despite being on the pill. Ran the marathon Saturday. Resting and recovery since, and the period came back today. With a vengeance. I am UNWELL.

It’s suddenly snowing unseasonably early in Indiana and its a very special #medalmonday for me following my first #marathon so this was an unmissable opportunity 🙃

Glad I took today and last Friday off work so I can rest and reflect.
Saturday was the biggest day of my life and I just am so, so glad I took on the challenge. And I’m delighted I got to know so many of you fellow bluesky runners along the way. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and encouragement!
