704. What’s your yearly running goal?

October 21, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

It helps to have one Running since 2019, 2022 was my first year setting one.  “I'm going to run 2200 miles this year” (see what I did there?) The most I’ve run previously was just shy of 1,600.  Well, we just past 2200 miles for the year and still have 2.5 months left.  Taking it … Continue reading 704. What’s your yearly running goal?

698. Pulling teeth

October 16, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

A figure of speech for something that feels like a drag, that’s tough to do  Going back and asking that person for the second, third, or fourth time - often Having to be told what to do again and again and again  There’s a reason, maybe we’re the problem (probably)  Maybe they're the problem (most … Continue reading 698.

697. Learning is an art: Trunk Method

October 15, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Learning things is an art  How we interpret what we’re experiencing  What to make of it  And when we want to learn something new, we can go about it in a methodical way  Or a half-hazardous way  A way to go about learning new things is the trunk method  We start with the main components … Continue reading 697.

695. what was it?

October 13, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Running has been on my mind since buckeye  What was it?  The adventure?  The thrill of breaking down barriers?  It’s a little sacrifice for a lot of gain  And a humble practice  To stay humble within and of itself for conquering these feats And to stay humble and respect these races  Nothing is guaranteed  And … Continue reading 695. what was it?

694. planning races for 2023

October 12, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Feeling the best I’ve felt during recovery 16:30 mile today. Fastest mile during recovery  Shin back to normal size. It looks like a shin again. Still can’t wear a sock without it making my foot be tight looking?  Left Achilles seems to be tight too. Over compensated is my call.  Will be healed up in … Continue reading 694. planning races for 2023

689. taking things personal

October 7, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Do we do that?  Most things aren’t personal  There’s this idea of sonder- we talked about it before  It’s that everyone has a voice in their head as rich and as loud as ours.  The odds of someone doing something personal?  It could happen, but most of the time I’d bet it’s their problem - … Continue reading 689. taking things personal

687. Twice we did good 

October 5, 2022September 27, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Ever hear that?  Twice we did good and that I heard never  Once I did bad and that I heard ever  people come at us when we do something wrong - we didn’t do this  But they forget to come at us when we do all the other things right  hey appreciate ya for doing … Continue reading 687. Twice we did good 

682. Planning the night before

September 30, 2022September 27, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

so how do our days go?  Do we just wake up and do what we feel like? Letting life and people pull us in whichever direction? Maybe pulling us this way and pushing us the other at the same time?  Or do we plan - at some point - the night before or not  Because … Continue reading 682. Planning the night before

681. Ways to say things

September 29, 2022September 27, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

“You didn’t do this” “Hey, I know I didn’t print out X for you, I should have spoken with the managers before I left too. X wasn’t done last night and now the morning crew is putting it together - I’ll try to remember and get that printed out next time so we don’t forget … Continue reading 681. Ways to say things

680. Perspective shift

September 28, 2022September 27, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Perspective  Is 25$ expensive for a pair of socks?  Some say yes, some say no  Others ask questions and do the hard work to find the answer  Yeah there are questions like what’s it made of, what’s the design, the shape  But more importantly, why do I need the 25$ pair of socks? What am … Continue reading 680. Perspective shift
