Runyon R. Runford

Running, always running. Running away from some things. Running towards other things. Running through the pain.

The neighborhood skunk was so delighted by the unseasonably warm weather that it joyfully sprayed skunk smell all over the place this morning #smelly #pungentjoy #feastforthesenses #localanimals

Temperatures in the 20s, ice, wind, and blowing snow. So, yeah, an angry run today #angryrunning #bitterness #grrrrrrrrr

My running clothes don't dry out between runs, so I sometimes toss them in the dryer without washing them. I now believe I have succeeded in permanently baking in the sweat smell #littlevictories #recipes #unbearablestench #joysofwinter #regrets

Vermont in January: bitterly cold and also itchy. #itchiness #bitterness #ointment

Bah!! #bah

Below zero running is difficult not because it is cold, but because of the extra 40 pounds of clothing #cold #stuntrunning #eyelashfreezing #shockedonlookers

There's a fine line between 'gusty' and 'gutsy' #windburn #coldweatherrunning #heroics

My toenail that was damaged in a fall ultra race finally fell off today. Congratulations, toenail, for making it to the new year! #toenailposting #cherishthesemoments #perspective

Sorry to say I have failed at my 2021 goal to run 1000 miles away from all my problems #willtryagainnextyear #goals #regrets

It's clear that I'm procrastinating on work when I think to myself "maybe I should do some laundry and also some flossing" #procrastinationnation #avoidance #strategies #dentalhygiene

My ambition for 2022 is to organize an event where racers run 50 miles, slam two beers, and then just scream and scream. Haven't worked out how the winner will be determined, but that's kind of beside the point #shockedonlookers #screaming #resolutions

Here's a thought that occurred to me at the confluence of holiday season and winter running on pavement: 'basted ham' kind of sounds like 'busted hamstrings' #stuffthatsoundslikestuff #krampus #regrets

Pretty optimistic about my chances in the @wser and @hardrock100 lotteries today. Also pretty optimistic that I'll win People Magazine's Sexiest Horse Alive award in 2022 #oddsaboutthesame #hopespringseternal #horseshoeforgoodluck

37 degrees and raining: not a good time for a run, or the *best* time for a run? #shockedonlookers #hypothermia #misery #waterloggedness

[Runyon R. Runford @runacceptable]

Here's the thing about work: I do not want to do it #donotwant #pithyobservations #malaise #alreadywentrunningsocantprocrastinatethatway

I am offended that Zoom meetings end after 40 minutes of idle time. Sometimes I just need to sit alone in a Zoom room for hours #alonetime #justmeandmythoughts #pathologies #sadquirks

A sure sign that winter is coming is that the little community of ceramic frogs in a yard on my running route is now down to one frog #frogtown #winter #ceramicanimals #communities

In these times of conflict, desperation, and uncertainty, it's nice to see that someone has discovered a very large potato
