i see the sun ahead 🌤️

Time check - 3:30 am. Whole thing should be done by 4:10, comfortably before the early commuters. Drunk drivers or cops are always a possibility but you have to put it out of your mind, you can’t afford the mental space to be concerned. Everyone else on the road will keep their distance.

All windows down, sound is everything for following the early lines up onto 280. On the bridge sprint I’d roll them up to keep the wind from drowning out my click.

An hour ago, I timed a couple 45 mph brake cycles. I check before every run. If the brake pads have worn down it’ll throw off your whole timing, and then you’re left deciding whether to give up or try to account for the error in your head. Timing loss was the leading cause of runner deaths.

cats_the_movie set a 35:32 a week ago and now I’m #2. I haven’t been #2 since the run gained popularity a couple years back. I’m not gonna be the old defeated master in a fucking summoning salt video.

seriousjones 10:56pm Jesus Christ, you have all made your point. Bees are not known for "getting stung." Fine. You win. I will be taking some time away from social media for my own peace of mind. It honestly makes me sick to my stomanch that one small mistake can bring out the mob, when all I do is try to spread smiles and connection. Respectfully, I hope you all take a long look and the mirror and think about how your words can affect people.
