#running I'm sure I asked this before and then bought another pair of Nike Pegasus anyway, but what are your running shoe recommendations (for fat bloke plodding out 11 minute miles, the "next percent" is getting from 98.8kg to 97.9kg lol)

My fundraising was going so well that I decided to raise my goal! I have 9 days left to get me to my (new) finish line of raising 1500 CAD$ for the Ste-Justine children's hospital Foundation.

My running goal is still on target; I have done 162km so far, for a goal of 200.

Only if you are able to, want to, and have not done so yet, please throw a few bucks for such a good cause here: https://www.millionreasons.run/fundraisers/francois-olivier-leblanc/mrr-25-fr.

They are shooting themselves in the foot with half baked features that aren’t really useful, not working good enough, and behind a paywall…

Good morning, Fediverse! Day 89 of #The100DayProject has me cautiously optimistic. Following a good friend and fellow athlete’s advice, I’ve been doing some plantar fasciitis recovery exercises and strengthening my feet. Today’s training was pretty good and my left foot is not complaining as much as I expected. I *may* still rebound from this in time for the 21k.

My Garmin Venu 2 was bricked by a software update yesterday, and they're offering me a exchange for an unsupported, refurbished device for $140. Unsupported, but still pushing updates that can brick it.

Priority is fitness tracking, primarily running. I don't need a smartwatch per se, but receiving Android notifications has been a plus. Recommendations?

Some #Runners Are Filming Every Mile of Their Race. That’s Not Just Annoying—It’s Dangerous.

After yesterday's OSM recon run with Paddy the Irish mutt which I forgot to report. I went out with both mutts at first there was chaos, dogs and leads in one big mess. Then they clocked that we are out running not sniffing and playing, and off we went.

I had forgotten a few things yesterday so I need to remember to log into OpenStreetMap and add them.

Yesterday's RAAAD was the Ukrainan folktronica band Go_a they were on Euro Music a few years ago. I do like the mix of traditional musical instruments and modern electronics.

Today's Run an Album a Day was Buena Vista Social Club and their self titled album, can you remember how it was playing everywhere around the millennium.

Running two mutts equal double distance, right?

Running après intoxication alimentaire et avant le trail dimanche !

Medieval Starbucks, surely.

Meanwhile, in the back...Ozymandias.

This #DailyDoor only goes up!

Gentle reminder: we're just shadows passing through

Running in Afghanistan was an act of defiance. Now in Canada, I run to show others they can
Atefa Rahimi grew up in Afghanistan, where her relatives and wider sports discouraged her from running. Through tragedies of losing her mother, the rise of the Taliban and having to leave her country for Canada, running gave her a reason to keep...

Since we are right in Tick season, I penned my two cents about them, not much or scientifically. But hopefully it would help one person from catching the horrific Lyme. Be careful out there.
