One of my guinea pigs died last night. Ginger the piggy now has to berate God to be hand fed pellets and veggie peels.

Got out of the house and ran with my running club last night. Ankle felt OK which is a big improvement. It is SO stiff in the morning, then it loosens up all day. Maybe it takes a little less time every day to loosen up. It’s so hard for me to gauge incremental improvement. #runsky #runchat

Drawer fronts on. Need to make the cabinet doors, paint everything, and install hardware. Then it’s back to the bedroom project.

My coach is like… are you not running because of your ankle (likely torn ligament from trilogy day 1). No, I’m not doing anything because of my brain. Well, I walked the dogs today and did a low key strength workout. Sky is gray, brain is gray… but I’m taking the win today. #runsky

I’ve developed a mixing method. 5-8 second pour, mix in nutmeg, add eggnog, mix thoroughly, top with nutmeg…. And repeat.

My daughter made this little space in the corner cabinet for her and the dogs. Needed to brag about this one.

My plate is large enough for both. No need to play favorites.

Sometimes I engage in other hobbies. Starting on a built in to improve the storage situation in my bedroom. Needs paint, book case assembly, then onto the next phase.

Last (?) ultra of the year is in the books! Finished up by trying to push the pace for 40 peppy miles. Tactical error was not changing my nutrition to go along with increased effort. Ended up falling apart a little from mile 23-28. Finished well, and had a great day in the woods. #running #runchat

Run went well! Carried my poles until around mile 6 where I used them for the first appreciable climbs and then for the rest of the race. Poles were such a help this year. Running through a cow pasture and over fence stiles was a fun way to end a great weekend of running. #runchat #running

Trilogy Day 3 recap - woke up feeling stiff, did a bunch of ankle mobility, ate breakfast and checked the weather - 50 degrees and misting rain for the race. Anyone else feel like that is the perfect running weather? No stream crossings so I wore my road shoes instead of my trail runners.

Trilogy day 1 is done! 50k went well, it was dry, cold, and I was able to manage effort well all day.

September was my biggest month of the year… I don’t do well at recording weight work on strava but there certainly was a good deal of that too!
