Frozen Beard On The Final Stretch Of Training For The Groundhog Day Marathon
So as not to disappoint my fellow running mates, I got out there and got my Monday training run done complete with a frozen beard. Things were pretty good so long as I didn’t have to run into the wind. I picked my route so I could minimize running into the wind. I was pleasantly surprised by my overall average pace after finishing. I think Wednesday might be the most interesting final training run, we’ll see. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
Will This Be The New Dawn of Mastodon?
I have been on #Mastodon since 2018 after exploring #POSSE and the #IndieWeb so I’ll be curious to see what comes of the seemingly mass exodus of #Twitter users coming into the Mastodon realm. #WordPress #SocialMedia
Alternatives to Seclusion and Restraint of Special Needs Individuals
After discovering the realities of seclusion and restraint with our autistic daughter at school my wife an I are learning more about the realities of our schools and culture in how kids with special needs are being handled. We don’t disagree that something needs to be done, but there are alternatives that are safer and better for everyone. A recent podcast, LOMAH Special Needs Podcast (#39 – Restraint & Seclusion of Special Needs Individuals), that my wife an I listened gave very compelling alternatives. Use our alternative physical techniques of blocking. If you can restrain someone you can block someone. Kim Sanders – Ukeru Systems
Starting Another GR Marathon Season
This past Saturday was the official start of the 2020 #GRMarathon season. The #HWI team had a virtual group run meeting via Zoom to kick things off. I was running almost 12 miles so I got them wrapped up before the group meeting. Today was an easy 5 mile run to start the week off. #Run4Water #WhyIRun
Better Together: Share Your Life With Others
Community is God’s answer to despair. You were made to share your life with others! Now is the time to find the people who will support you through life, who will rejoice with you in your victories and weep with you in your trouble. Day 3 of the @YouVersion plan ‘Better Together’ (http://bible.com/r/Qc) “Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15 NLT (https://bible.com/bible/116/rom.12.15.NLT)
Having Your Bowels Cut Your Run Short
Yeah, it’s not pleasant to talk about, but as a runner you generally are aware of the things that can happen while on a long run. And when you aren’t someplace where you can find a well placed #JohnnyBlue things get interesting real quick. I had to cut a couple of miles off my long run this morning in order to literally make a run for the restroom. It didn’t kill my pace, I suppose it maybe helped to some degree. It doesn’t happen very often to me but I’ll have to be a little more cautious in the future.
