In case you missed it: For 11 years I refused to run the Munich Marathon. This year I signed up to pace a friend to a PB. Then she woke up sick on race morning, and I ran alone.

RIP Frank “Gags” Gagliano (1937–2026) 🕊️ A Bronx QB who never ran track, Gags became one of the most influential coaches in American distance running. The sport has lost a legend. My thoughts are with so many who knew his voice, trusted his guidance and felt his care. citiusmag.com/articles/fra...

In case you missed it: Cooler temperatures. Runs that, if started too late, end in utter darkness. Fall is coming our way fast.

Throwback: What do a 1500 m, 3000 m, and 5000 m race have in common? They are all part of the Summer of Speed 2026!
Throwback: I tested the perimeter of my comfort zone and lined up for a 1500 m race. Here's how it went down.

Throwback: A Coros watch is a great offline podcast player if you close the loop with two Python scripts and a self-hosted gPodder sync server, turning a tedious manual workflow into a zero-argument, run-and-forget command.

It took me 4 tries to guess who @peter-heckel.bsky.social was @mystery-mutual.bsky.social mystery-mutual.fly.dev Winning Hint: They run a company that provides mental health services to children, and recently celebrated a major organizational transformation.
