8r4d Survival of the fittest in the #garden sprouting game, eventually only one plant per pot will prevail.

8r4d #runclub #running kicked off again tonight, no fools, and we logged a chilly 6k around the neighborhood.

8r4d We’re usually not fast enough with our #running to keep up with the Fast Trax crew but every few years we give it a try anyhow.

8r4d Or #running adventures took us over to a Fast Trax meetup this weekend and we did a hilly tour of the east side of the city near #downtown

8r4d My first sub-30 #parkrun of 2026 brought to you by spring and thank goodness the sidewalks are finally clean again! #running

8r4d I have this whole story about how I tried to 3D print an electric violin over the last couple weeks only to realize that the pickup and electronics were going to cost as much as a ready-to-play cheap electric violin… so I ended up just buying a cheap electric violin to play with. So far it rocks hard.

8r4d How does my #garden grow? Right now it mostly looks like a bunch of tomato seedlings basking in the lcd growlight glow.

8r4d #running in #spring doesnt yet mean avoiding the snow and ice

adventuredog It’s such a lazy day.

8r4d #running hills for the third week in a row. Not pictured: me in shorts. It was 10 degrees out!

8r4d A chilly late #winter #running adventure brought us into the trails for a short stretch. The ice was still here and there but not so bad as last week.

8r4d Our #running hill training continued for the second week, a bit brighter because of the time change but a bit slipperyer because of the weather.

8r4d I’ve got four different crops going as of this afternoon. It’s time to plant yer #garden already…. but which i mean pre-sprouting your tomatoes and peppers indoors eight weeks out from potentially planting outside.

I’ve upgraded my setup this year with some grow lights rather than hoping for a warm window sill. And I harvested half’s my seeds from the fridge this year, too, drying seeds from the tomatoes we buy and eat. I’m banking on the assumption that they’re fertile of course (which is not a given) but my backup plan was a package from the store.

8r4d Trifecta of #running opposition this morning: strong cold winds, sooooo much ice, and losing an hour for daylight savings spring ahead. We did it, but it hurt.

8r4d I watched the Judo warm up at #westedmontonmall while the gals shopped. [read more...]

8r4d Hill Training 2026 began tonight as we took our #running adventures into the icy slopes over in Cameron Heights.
