I've suddenly been overcome by the urge to read, broadly and intensely, at the best/worst possible time: shortly before starting medical school. I blame @stevemagness and @jmarpdx.

@SaraSTolsma @PeacePreston Thanks, Dr. Tolsma!

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

I received access to my account for medical school earlier this week and have already managed to lock myself out twice. Five months from starting and I'm already making a good impression 😅

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

@PeacePreston Mayo! 😊

Saturday afternoon, post long run lazy is the best kind of lazy.

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

My dad thinks I have too many shoes. This coming from the man who has sixteen (16) T10 torx bits. Sixteen! Of the same bit! The hypocrisy...

Started off the day being randomly assigned TSA Precheck... hopefully this is a sign of good things to come!

Mom: How can you eat so much and not gain any weight?!

Me, currently running 80 miles/week while working construction full-time: It truly is a mystery we may never know the answer to..

I love the 9-5 lifestyle. Mine just happens to be asleep by 9 and up at 5.

Setting: Saturday long run, mile 12 of 16. I'm turning into a brutal headwind.

Me: *Singing* Into the wind and up the hills, only 4 miles to go!

*2 minutes later*

Me: Good Lord, my face! I can't feel it no more!

*2 more minutes*

Me: *wordless screeching*

@carlyepants YOU'RE FIVE THOUSAND CANDLES IN THE WIND 😭😭😭

Just finished watching Parks and Rec for the first time... I was not prepared for the amount of emotional distress this would cause. Send help.

[NWC Red Raiders @nwcraiders]

Men's Cross Country places 2nd of 11 teams; 2 Red Raiders earn all-conference (top 15 finish); Dylan Hendricks (4th), Caleb Benzing (5th). @NWCTRACK

@timrose40 AT LEAST

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

Crystal clear skies this morning gave me a beautiful view of the stars on my run. Then I had time for yoga afterwards. What a glorious start to the day!

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

It's a strange feeling, to see Northwestern's campus begin filling up and to realize I'm not going back...

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

@ddevries03 Are you my dad? 😂

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

American distance running got me feeling some sort of way right now

[Jeffrey Jeltema @JeffRunsMiles_]

@cBENZING14 Yes.
