A sweaty man running a marathon in Cincinnati, Ohio.

When pigs fly. #flyingpigmarathon

So excited I ran my first Half Marathon! #flyingpigmarathon

I heard that this marathon was hilly, but that’s a lie. It’s just one big 13 mile hill from mile 6 to 19!!

Thousands gathered for the 27th annual in cool, damp weather, showcasing runner camaraderie and spirit! 🏃‍♀️🌧️ #RunnersUnite #FlyingPigMarathon https://fefd.link/6CrVI

So in other news, I completed the Flying Pig Half Marathon today! #flyingpigmarathon #cincinnati #run #running #whatsnext

My wife runs her 47th Marathon while I chase her around Cincinnati for course support and codable coffee shops. #FlyingPigMarathon

The day before is rough, you’re nervous, excited, and also filled with dread. But once the race starts, all that goes away!!

Fly little piggies, FLY! #runchat #flyingpigmarathon

Everything about the government right now makes me feel physically ill. At least I get to run in Cincinnati this weekend. #running #queencity #flyingpigmarathon

CARBOHYDRATES FOR THE FLYING PIG!

I think I have a problem, I’m already looking into what my next race will be. One of these days I do want to run an ultramarathon, but I don’t know if I’m mentally ready for that yet

Getting ready for the Flying Pig Cincinnati marathon weekend! #flyingpigmarathon #cincinnati #trailruns #running #run #training #spring

Twelve miles this morning for the peak long run of the training season. It's all taper from here. Race day is in 3 weeks, and I feel strong.

My training run today! Plus post run breakfast! #trainingrun #halfmarathon #flyingpigmarathon #cincinnati #run #running #breakfast

As always, the Heart Mini 15k was brutal. The course is a beast. Rain poured the entire time. But I hit a PR for that distance and this race, so I did something right!

Best time of winter/spring training season: new shoes and sunshine! The light and warmth are back, and I'm sporting my new Saucony Rides. Been my shoe for years--they never fail. Yesterday's run was sunny and glorious.

Longest run so far this training season, and it was loaded with hills. My legs felt dead. I had my first moment of doubt and wondered if I could finish the run. Thank goodness for the energy of my group (and a gu gel). We all finished strong.

Five miles of hill repeats.

Life is messy and weird. I lost a full week of training because of that messiness. This was my first run in six days. I've got some progress to make up, but the race is still 2.5 months away.

Five miles and a cup of coffee.

Seven miles this afternoon. This is my longest distance in five years, since before my long hiatus from running. It felt really good. So glad to be back in it.

Sunshine and mild temps! Didn't have to dress for an arctic run today. Only one pair of socks, no gloves, just a light jacket for the wind. So much better than last week.

Sunrise training run.
(Of course this is my first bluesky post!)
