    Certification (JD)
    Oct 30 2024





    Hey Carlos, it's Jim. I'm out for a walk in south-central PA, enjoying the 70-degree weather, though we’re heading for 80 by Halloween. We’ve gone 22 days without rain, close to the 23-day record, with only a slight chance of rain on Friday. I’m deep in organizing training materials at work, aiming to have everything set by Christmas, and I’m on week two of a high-fiber, high-fluid diet, which is going well. Enjoying the sound of crunching leaves—chat soon!

    Nagog Hill Rd(Chris) part 3

    The closer on Chris Russell’s rehab.
    Chris is recording the sound of crunchy leaves as they walk in the dry woods, noting that wildfires are happening in Massachusetts due to the dry conditions and the state’s substantial tree cover, which has increased since the Industrial Revolution. Despite a shoulder injury, they’re progressing well and can begin gentle exercises, although trail running is on hold to avoid further injury. They reflect on past injuries, like a jaw fracture from hockey, and mention adjusting their running goals, now considering a February marathon in Phoenix.

  • Wheat Beer Run (Part 2)

    Wheat Beer Run (Part 2)
    Oct 19 2024
    Good morning, I'm running solo in the rain, about halfway into my route, and I decided to go audio-only since the rain would mess up the camera lens. Today, I’m headed to Borden Mercantile to buy some wheat for brewing a pale wheat beer. I’ve already got the hops and barley, but I’ll be sneaky because they don’t usually sell grains for human consumption. My run is around 4 kilometers, and my pace is improving on the downhill despite the wet shoes. Now, I’m nearing the mercantile and wrapping up the run – thanks for joining me in the rain!

    Weather in Pennsylvania (from JD)
    Sep 26 2024
    From my friend, Jim loves telling me about his weather situation...
    Why not 'be like JD' and tell me yours...
    Mind you I understand Celcius way better than Farenheit.
    Rain is rain in any bodies language.
    Thanks James Daly

    Mount Tolmie Trail Run
    Aug 29 2024
    Mount Tolmie in Victoria, British Columbia, is a modest hill with an elevation of approximately 120 meters (394 feet), making it accessible for a mid-week solo trail run. The trail network is short but offers a mix of paved and dirt paths, suitable for a quick, energizing run. The summit provides panoramic views of the city, nearby islands, and distant mountains, offering a rewarding end to your run. It’s typically less crowded during the week, giving you a peaceful experience. While the trails aren't extensive, the varied terrain and scenic views make it a pleasant and convenient option for a quick trail run.

    the Green Hog
    Aug 28 2024
    "Good morning, everyone! I'm recording another episode, this time while doing the 'Wurtele' extended loop, an almost 3 kilometer route. My friend JD has contributed more to these five-minute shows than I have, often sending episodes weekly. For this episode, I'm considering calling it 'The Green Hog' and keeping it to just under five minutes."
