A forested hillside with water flowing down it. There are some snow patches higher up the hill
Our snow is melting off and it will soon be trail season in the UP!
Saw these river rapid in a part of the run that is usually dry, but flooded in the thaw.
17 km run today searching for dry trails.

A Strava printout of my run. It’s called Moustache Day Marathon. Distance: 42.4 km. Time: 4h 17m. Pace: 6:04/ km. There’s a selfie of me with an awesome mustache with Lake Superior behind me.
I shaved off the winter beard and kept a mustache for the day to celebrate the beginning of Spring.
Ran a marathon in the sunshine as an extra celebration. The trails are still very snowy, so it was a mix of snow and pavement running today.

Thank you. It’s truly an honor

Rooftop solar has come out of nowhere and is now 20% of Puerto Rico's energy generation mix -- more than natural gas.

It was pouring down rain for my run today! I ran 25 km and didn’t see another person willing to get soaked on the trail. Lots of pretty birds, though
I took a picture of the Missouri River on the run, but couldn’t take my phone out of the ziplock bag

In 2025, more power was generated worldwide from renewable energy than from coal, and 91% of new renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels.
Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

Today was my longest run of the year: 20 trail miles
It was my first run without snow since November (I left the North for a bit).

I made it to 3 years of daily running!
Celebrated with a snowy 25 km run along the Escanaba River.

Thanks!
Yep, the mental training is an important part of getting ready for the long ultras
I’ve run 20 miles on the treadmill in two days. Ugh!
I miss the trails! This snowy winter will make Spring even sweeter when it arrives.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.

A huge drift of snow outside of a door. The snow almost reaches the roof of the house. The area around the door is shoveled out
I ran 28km today. My longest ever treadmill run.
I was stuck inside because we’re in a historic blizzard: over 3 ft of snow so far! But at least I got to eat cupcakes for running fuel.

Lake Superior from the shore. There’s a lot of ice on the lake and big mounds of ice and snow
The sun came out and I went for a 20km run along Lake Superior today 😎.
Those giant piles of ice in the Lake are from ice gathering in the currents. Piles of lake ice!

No biggy, just a couple of polar bears out my window smelling the flowers [you can see the very strong fence between us].
You are what you breathe.
Humans evolved in an atmosphere containing roughly 280–300 ppm of CO₂. We're now at 420 ppm which increases bicarbonate levels and decreased blood phosphorus and calcium.
The effect is small...for now.

I’ve been working with data for about 20 years and I wish I’d learned these tips when I was a PhD student.
A few simple changes to how you store your data can save you hours later. Future you will be thankful you read this post.
Anyone else learn this the hard way?
