No matter how many of them I do, I never get tired of watching the sunrise. Every run starts a little differently, but that view never gets old. #garmin #beatyesterday #running12 Jul 2026 16:01 +0000at://did:plc:hio3xbl3pi7wtben2q74caal/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqhkfvijxk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/erictran.engineer/post/3mpbph5qgps25Cloudy with pretty high humidity 💀 but at least I got in one last 13+ mile run.

He hurts, though. How much? I don't truly know. I'm afraid for him, afraid for Thursday. On Thursday, he will lose a leg and start recovery. I hope it's just a leg. I wish I could stop time.11 Jan 2026 12:47 +0000at://did:plc:hio3xbl3pi7wtben2q74caal/app.bsky.feed.post/3mc5koluqyk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/erictran.engineer/post/3m5reoqkz2s2cWoohoo!

Running is such a humbling activity. You can't do better than your own best and you're given the opportunity to learn and improve with each run. Running also forces you to sit with your thoughts - however difficult. ♥️ #garmin #beatyesterday #running #ozrun26 Apr 2025 18:16 +0000at://did:plc:hio3xbl3pi7wtben2q74caal/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnqdt5qsyk24https://bsky.app/profile/erictran.engineer/post/3lgmapeszes2gNo words. 🤤 #1981kchicken #overlandpark #kansascity #kansas26 Jan 2025 01:13 +0000at://did:plc:hio3xbl3pi7wtben2q74caal/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgmapeszes2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/erictran.engineer/post/3lg3wegstas2yJust finished watching The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live and loved it.
