Yesterday was a beautiful day to run 50K in the mountains. I listened to @ultramarathon’s excellent The Road To Sparta book ? and found it very inspirational. “Don’t let what you can’t do discourage you from doing what you can do.”

Cosmo Catalano’s excellent recap of USA’s first ever gold medal in cross country skiing included this gem about paid maternal leave in Norway/Sweden/USA.
The upside of Safari/1Password storing your credit card info is that it’s super easy to buy stuff online. The downside is that it’s super easy to buy stuff online. I just removed all my saved credit card info to add a tiny bit more friction to the process of spending money.

Apparently there is a list of the top 12-Hour Run performances in North America for 2017, and apparently my long-ass name is on it.
I hiked through the starry night listening to 10% Happier by Dan Harris. Very entertaining read about the benefits of mindfulness without the supernatural BS. 📚
Ha! This Instatravel video is very well done.

📚 Just finished Mike Duncan’s The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic, which was every bit as delightful as his The History of Rome podcast was. ★★★★★

Just two weeks after #acrosstheyears we all three overdid it a bit today. #coppermountain #ski #coloradotrail #snowshoe #wrecked

Here’s the 51 places we camped in 2017, because that’s the kind of thing I keep track of.
217 total miles for Team Ragfield at #acrosstheyears 🎉. The Boy (36 miles) far exceeded anyone’s expectations for an 8 year old. @cloth_mother (80+ miles) and @sexyhermit (100+ miles) both struggled a bit more than we would have preferred. It is what it is. Time to rest now.
#happynewyear from #phoenix 🎉 15 hours into #acrosstheyears @cloth_mother has covered 70 miles and is desperately trying to stay awake ☕️ , while Will covered 36 miles and is probably sleeping better than he’s ever slept before 😴.
Just over 10 hours into #acrosstheyears @cloth_mother is at 52 miles while The Boy is still trucking along with 33 miles!
Well, this 8 year old boy just finished a #marathon 7h10m into his #acrosstheyears 24 hour race.

The Boy just ran his first #halfmarathon in the first 2½ hours of his #acrosstheyears 24 hour race. I think he pushed a little too hard to stay ahead of his mom (who is probably doing a better job at pacing).
#acrosstheyears has begun. My 24 hours begins tomorrow (12/29) at 9 AM MST.
