Day 1: Today marks the start of my first half mara Day 1: Today marks the start of my first half marathon training cycle since the pandemic kerfuffled everything up. CT just moved up vaccination eligibility for all residents under 44 to a few weeks from now, so I am optimistic that the in-person part of the #UconnHealthHalf will take place 🤞🏼 My prior GPS watch, the Garmin Forerunner 235, always liked to tell me I was capable of running 13.1 in 1:53, even when an amazing day led to a 2:06 and 1:59:59 is still the DREAM. I upgraded to a Fenix 6S back in July, and I’m inclined to believe this gizmo’s best effort estimates are a bit more accurate. Can’t celebrate an ‘after’ if I don’t have a ‘before’, so here it is. The algorithm thinks I can run a half marathon in 2:14. Excited to see how much I can cut this number down over the next 12 weeks. 😈

I recently joined TikTok out of a blend of boredom I recently joined TikTok out of a blend of boredom & curiosity. So far what I've gotten out of it is a few chuckles, a sore scrolling thumb and the newfound knowledge that skinny jeans & side parts are a signal to the YOUTHS that I'm ancient.⁠ ⁠ Seeing that my helmet and snow pants hide my age, how about I just let my face show it. When I took this photo I had just finished a huge project at work to signal the start of some PTO I was desperate for, so I raced up to the summit for a snack, a drink, and some Vitamin D. ⁠ ⁠ I was so stoked to get the reflection of the mountain view in my goggles, but I admittedly cringed when I first checked this photo on my camera roll. I was too busy focusing on my pores and the lines around my eyes.⁠ ⁠ Shame on me for letting something completely out of my hands like the opinions of strangers and the CONCEPT OF TIME get in my head.⁠ ⁠ Who cares what some random strangers on the internet think. Part your hair however the hell you want. Wear whatever pants make you feel confident. How many times have we not (or almost not) posted something online because we were worried about what strangers would think?⁠ ⁠ My friends and family love me for my jokes, not my tired ol' face. 😏⁠ ⁠
Alright audience, time to participate. Even though Alright audience, time to participate. Even though March was two weeks ago, March is also less than two weeks from now.⁠ ⁠ Optimistic for 2021, I signed up for RnR in San Diego this June, but received the news this week that the race has been postponed to a TBD date in the fall. The next thing I've got officially on the calendar is SeaWheeze, but who knows if Americans will be able to enter Canada if the race takes place.⁠ ⁠ That downer stuff said, now I'm back at square one in trying to figure out what my spring goal should be. Speed is tough for me to work on without fellow competitors on a race course, but distance challenges seem to work for me.⁠ ⁠ My current longest run ever sits at 16 miles, and now my silly brain is starting to wander up to things like 30K or 26.2. ⁠ ⁠ Am I the only one starting to lose their marbles in absence of in-person races happening? What is everyone else doing to keep their head on screwed straight?
