Even a few miles of the coast is enough to show us a total other side of this god. #pacific #running #sea #sonomacounty https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/116/903/199/061/298/513/original/dd3965989266eff9.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Trying to figure out what longish run to do. I've been haunting Willow Creek for months, do I go there again or find something else? I have run everywhere. One bucket list run I've not yet done is up King Ridge Road to the Devil's Ribs. The downside being I'd have to jump in a car and drive there. #running npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw There's nothing like returning to the same place day in day out and seeing how the earth is changing. At least there are still mornings like this (Wednesday) #footpathFriday #running #sonomacounty https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/116/898/937/151/029/835/original/ee2f3992bb8098f6.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/116/869/710/678/269/613/original/1b95a7c5ba3b1a43.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw A piece of color, doomed.

Home, to me, is to sail on a sea of fog. Beyond that mountain is Clear Lake - it's like the rim of this universe. I love all the worldly pics I get to see here, so this one shares my neighborhood and my most basic of runs. So everyday to me, this view conveys a bit of the magic that California nestles in its vast empty corners. #running #sonomacounty #mtsthelena https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/116/403/792/801/869/533/original/8462cba7fe6a5df7.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I got hooked on running with a 21 day streak many years ago. A most satisfying way to do it. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Sing it brother CODE IS A LIABILITY! npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Nothing quite like persimmon leaves in the fall. #persimmon #leaves #autumn #sonomacounty https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/115/594/961/206/218/799/original/91e7d91d93b91ab6.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw You've got some of my favorite photo subjects here, they're very visceral. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/115/560/646/519/450/965/original/94207532dc1225af.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Long run today. There is so much goodness to be wrung out of spending a couple hours running. You cover enough ground to create a sense of wonder in human abilities, and the world snaps into a topology of access as the math of covering ground becomes more evident. Along the way you might get a chance to stop and frame something that usually is a flash by whilst automobiling. #running #sonomacounty #photography https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/115/476/255/980/421/948/original/a245129b4f60d63d.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Liszt trivia - he was so good a piano player himself that these pieces were his skeleton key to money-making as a performer. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/115/323/417/319/886/707/original/6c5af1d50e52bab5.png npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I find a 2 liter hydro pack trivial to carry. Don't like water through a tube but that's enough for a long hot run. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw On my run this morning a dog bit me and I'm disappointed and annoyed. I come across a lot of dogs while running, some off leash and some aggressive, but this is the first time one actually went for me. Nothing serious but it does hurt. So annoyed I'm posting a beautiful pear blossom. #running #dog #bite #bloomscrolling https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/114/274/767/505/958/523/original/85197682cff6bf0a.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Yesterday I was determined to reboot the running. Left phone (camera) behind and shot film. New shoes, first since injury and the old pairs are getting pretty worn, mileage unknown as I stopped tracking. New notebook (last one filled with dribs and drabs, no mileage records.) The maple leaves are just starting to unfurl. I'm done with the injury now, moving on. It was some complex autistic gymnastics, dealing with that failed marathon and injury. I locked in CBT immediately to insulate my disappointment and carried on. But now I see I've been processing all of those typical runner feelings while trying to find my post injury self, spinning between denial, shame, fortitude, ennui and hope. Thank you to runners of mastodon for the perspectives and continuity. So I finished the 2nd roll and developed the last many months of pictures. Now a wee candy store of images awaits. #running #runnersofmastadon npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/114/056/039/444/660/961/original/0c5f8b24778f014e.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw yes but I'm the first to admit being a West Coast fan of a north London team just probably isn't the same sort of thing as actually Being There. Go spurs, we won't talk of next week. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Our orchids only last a moment. They are here. What a stunning flower- I lived here for years and years before I knew we had them. #sonomacounty #photography #bloomscrolling https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/114/020/806/926/931/760/original/317525eec95eada4.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/114/014/986/495/492/381/original/62c7368312029770.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw So glad you asked! A quintessentially American experiment, FDR mobilized vast public works projects one attempt to bootstrap the country out of depression. These teams built so much of 20th century America - but it's hidden by even bigger projects after WWII and tinged with a smear of socialism too, which of course is a dirty word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration?wprov=sfla1 Oh look, The WPA also built internment camps. History is complicated. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw The slide is very big, hard to photograph. The roadbed is there but nothing else - the next atmospheric river will probably knock out the asphalt this week. So very typical. Human efforts are ever so transient. Fun fact - this iconic bicycle route was originally cut as a WPA project. #photography #landslide #sonomacounty #running https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/113/980/555/644/523/622/original/74b77ea5c1e9bc3a.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw The world is suddenly sodden and flooding. I'm on high ground, but still everything is overflowing. Here we have a spot nearby which masquerades as a vast wilderness. #photography #running #sonomacounty https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/113/946/604/759/663/874/original/74540e29ed6a353e.jpg npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I got a pair of these last year. They feel awesome to run in... Like having armored feet. but hard on the feet for sure. When it's warmer I'll use them for runs under 6 miles. https://www.earthrunners.com/ npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I've never been very happy watching MLS. The quality just isn't there (and my closest team is San Jose which is....) npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Well in my seventies growing up the only thing I learned about soccer was there exists a sport you play without hands (weird!) and there was some apparently famous mononymic guy Pele that you could get on a lunch box. The only team anyone cared about was the Red Sox. Is not a shrunken world a thing of wonder? npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw congratulations Lee and spouse. I see Salford in the hashtags - that was some FA cup fixture w Man City eh. One for the ages.
