1.01 miles, 10:58 pace

Day 45 of the run streak. Such a cursed number. Just a perfunctory single mile in between meetings. It should almost go without saying that I couldn’t really run streak without WFH. So that’s possibly a single good thing about all this shit.

I listened to the Bill Simmons podcast today. It’s an unusual hate-listen type thing for me. I genuinely enjoy listening to him, even as I roll my eyes at every other thing he says. I’d probably need to see a therapist to really explain my relationship, or why it feels natural to use the word “relationship” to describe it. I think if you scroll down just a couple posts, there’s probably something I wrote about him like a year+ ago connecting listening to him with running.

Before I set off, I heard him say the stupidest thing I think I’ve ever heard him say. I was compelled to clip and tweet, which is not even so much about venting anymore and more about narcissism or something  deeply unhealthy. The bad side of bad Simmons fandom.

Well, whatever. It’s a beautiful sunny 70+ degree day out. I knocked an easy one out for the streak. I woke up and my legs felt tired (from actually working out on a run yesterday) and that was a glorious feeling. I think this weekend I’ll try to log at least 12 miles. We’ll see.
