Good day yesterday

[eli @starfshprime]

That should be 260k and 4k short, I’m just tired

[eli @starfshprime]

And with that, the 2025 season comes to a close.

262k ft of elevation gain only including hiking and running activities. 2k ft short of how far above Earth you have to go to be awarded Astronaut wings in the US.

Tuesday I made the dumb decision to sign up for a half marathon even though I haven’t run since my 50k a month ago. I finished in 2:12 but my feet hurt.

Who has two thumbs and is dumb enough to run a 50k with 7k ft of vert as their first ever race and actually place front of the mid pack (46/160)?

I am apparently

[eli @starfshprime]

State Fair be like (first time on a slingshot, they are kinda fun)

[eli @starfshprime]

Anyone have any tips for eating enough to offset running 37 miles and hiking another 8 miles?

[eli @starfshprime]

Lil foggy hike

[eli @starfshprime]

7 miles at a conversational pace with a friend and then 6+ with my thoughts

[eli @starfshprime]

I was supposed to be climbing the sketchiest 14er today but it decided to snow, so I ran a half marathon instead.

[eli @starfshprime]

67% of the year complete, 73% of the way to 250k ft of elevation gain. Finally made up for the poor effort before I made my goal. Time to crush the last third of the year.

@milspecshitpost you missed an actually interesting race to watch

[eli @starfshprime]

goofy ass dog goes 10 miles off leash through the wettest canyon I’ve ever seen in NM
