Cold running

Posted on December 18, 2022

This is a photo of me running (on the left) along with Jim while running with my running group, the “UO Noon Runners.” I am also in another running group, the Big Timber Running Club, which is where I met Jim. We’d been talking about running together so I invited him out to join us this past Saturday where it was 23 degrees Fahrenheit when I left my house to meet up with everyone. Hence the big gloves and balaclava around my head and face. It was a beautiful morning for a run and once we got started we warmed up well. I always run in compression socks and shorts. A uniform of sorts that just works. My Strava link on my site shows…

Holiday, counseling, & translation

A few photos from the past few days: tree is acquired and up. We always wait until after Nora’s birthday, so on Sunday the 4th we headed out to a local tree farm and found this one. It’s big and “poofy,” as the word in the house would say. On campus the other day on a Facilities small truck I saw a sign with emojis – it was a small shout out to the UO Counseling Center. Well done! Zoomed: Today I met up with pal Alisa, a professor of Japanese Studies. She is just about to head there next week, as a matter of fact. We looked at the menus on the Lumix GM-1 (well, she looked and gave some rough interpretation). Alisa’s…

Prefontaine

Posted on April 10, 2021

He’s a local legend in these parts. Info on him can be found on Wikipedia and other places. Out on this morning’s run, the first with my running group in just over a year, I went out on the trail named after him. On a post was a little figure, an “overseer” of sorts. The run was slow as I’m still recovering from last week’s 16 miler. I did get to run with Paul though – the elder statesman of our group at age 83 (!). He’s a wonderful guy and several of us ran with him for a few miles. This group has been and is a gift in my life, for sure. Looking forward to more runs with them as the vaccine…
