USATF-certified half marathon in State #13 is loading! I'm ready for the #MedCity Half Marathon tomorrow. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun #RunChat

I'm on my first flight of the day en route to MSP this morning. Race weekend has begun! Next race: Med City Half Marathon in Rochester, MN. Minnesota will be 13/50 states for my half marathon quest. #StevenRuns #RunChat

My wife @travelingtvi.bsky.social & I like playing The License Plate game whenever we road trip. This past weekend, we drove from Texas to Oklahoma. We saw 23 states + a U.S. government plate heading to Oklahoma, and 22 states + Ontario heading to Texas. #WanderlustWednesday

I'm not committed, yet, but want feedback from y'all. How many of y'all who used to be bloggers now have a Substack? How does it translate for being a writing/thought outlet? How easy is the platform to use? Do you prefer it over a traditional website? All thoughts/comments are welcomed.

Odds are that Legge won't complete all the miles, but she'll be the 6th driver to attempt "The Double." Tip of the hat to Tony Stewart, who in 2001 became the only driver to complete all 1,100 miles. sports.yahoo.com/articles/kat...

Seeing Jimmy Fallon on "Colbert" with the rest of the late night show hosts just reminders me how much a pu$$y a$$ b!tch he is. Ditto for people who constantly say, "I don't want to get political." Just admit you're too afraid to change your comfortable life you freaking cowards!

I didn't know this was possible, but perhaps so.

I've gotten to enjoy running in a new environment the past three days, and it did not disappoint. It's interesting how a change of scenery, even to a familiar place, makes a difference in my running. #StevenRuns #RunChat

Oh man, two #Braves legends gone within a week.

It's the classic problem of sightseeing/touring your home area. You're busy with work/"life" so you don't prioritize local sights and/or you assume you'll "do it eventually" and focus on locales farther away. #ParkChat

CON: Made a wrong turn on my run. PRO: Accidentally completed a street on City Strides. I realized my mistake rather quickly and corrected it, so I didn't add that much to my mileage. I was/am quite tickled that the error lead to me finishing a street though. #StevenRuns #RunChat

As someone who grew up primarily in Metro Atlanta, it's weird hearing the news that Ted Turner has died. Sure, I haven't thought about him in years, especially after his companies folded into AOL-Time Warner. But, as someone who became a baseball fan, and, specifically, a #Braves fan, it's weird.

I've been to 2 of 4 (Roger Williams & Touro Synagogue) of these sites. They're really beautiful places to visit, and this is a great reminder that I need to get back to Rhode Island. #ParkChat

Maybe because I don't follow a bunch of #CFB accounts on here, I haven't seen many people talking about this situation. However, glad that @yahoosports.bsky.social did a really thoughtful deep-dive into the implications. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...

The connection @markhamillofficial.bsky.social has to the military, especially attending a DOD high school in Japan, is always one of my favorite tidbits about #StarWars.

I ran 12 miles with some tempo mixed in, as I'm 2 weeks out from my spring goal race. I'll be taking on the Med City Half Marathon in Rochester, MN. #RunChat

If you want to run one of the best races that'll celebrate #Route66's centennial, you can join me at the Williams Route 66 Marathon in Tulsa, OK, this fall. Use code "STEVEN66" to save $10 before tomorrow's price increase. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun #RunChat

I beat this drum often, but a great piece from @theguardian.com reminds us that sports IS political. I just didn't know about this part of #WorldCup history. #SportsGeography www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Sports, especially in the modern era, has and always will be political.

Last Monday, I ran the 130th #BostonMarathon as a guide runner for my friend Mark. He completed his @wmmajors.bsky.social Six-Star Journey two years ago, and I completed mine that day by his side. #RunChat

Yesterday I submitted an application to the #ChicagoMarathon in hopes of my running story being featured on its social platforms. Here's hoping that I get to stand up and speak up for GLASA and the important work it does to provide adaptive sports/wellness. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

And just like that, we go from having NO baseball tickets for our Dallas trip to locking up all three games. @travelingtvi.bsky.social & I will get to watch... 06/17: Cleburne Railroaders 06/18: Texas Rangers 06/18: Frisco RoughRiders #StevenExploresTexas

On Monday, I completed the @wmmajors.bsky.social at the #BostonMarathon. My friend Mark completed his second Boston while I served as his guide runner. I'm incredibly fortunate to have Mark by my side, and there's no better way for me to complete this journey. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

There's one more sleep until my friend Mark & I take on the 130th #BostonMarathon. I hope to complete my @wmmajors.bsky.social Six-Star journey tomorrow, but what matters most is that I get to guide for 26.2 miles. Let's go smash it! #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

Race #1 for the weekend, the Boston 5K is in the bin. My friend Mark & I ran a nice, controlled race and came in right on target. #StevenRuns #MyTimeToRun

I'm on the way to Boston! I'll be worn out by the end of the day, but it's been a smooth morning so far. However, I'm ready for some real food at Love Field. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

My local paper has a write up about all the people participating in the #BostonMarathon next week. I wasn't expecting this piece, but it's pretty cool. Mostly, I'm just incredibly grateful to my friend Mark. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun www.lubbockonline.com/story/sports...

A3: There's a lot of things that inspire me. However, if you give me the opportunity to help an adapted athletics charity, you're almost always going to get a "yes" from me. #RunChat

My birthday is SIX months from today, and I'll be running the #ChicagoMarathon in support of the Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association. GLASA provides adapted athletics opportunities for people with physical/visual disabilities. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun fundraisers.hakuapp.com/steven-erics...

I know good things are ahead, and I'm not worried. However, it stings a bit to get TWO rejections from different ambassador programs in the same day! #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

Not surprisingly, it seems like new #MiLB ballparks and developments are on tap. #SportsGeography www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...

Golly race photos are expensive! I know this, and I wouldn't NOT buy photos from my first opportunity to run the #BostonMarathon. But dang!

What is wrong with people?! I read the comics every day when I subscribed to @starsandstripes.bsky.social. They're a nice break from the drudgery of life.

Cheers to #NationalBeerDay, which honors the legacy of the Cullen-Harrison Act. As FDR said on that day, "I think this would be a good time for a beer."

✅ Last 20-miler done and dusted before #BostonMarathon. 👊 Time to enjoy the taper. 😋 Time to eat almost everything in sight. #RunChat #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

Traveling for races is expensive, especially if you're chasing your Six-Star Journey with @wmmajors.bsky.social. However, Achilles International had a grant that can help defray costs. Grant deadline is April 15. #RunChat www.achillesinternational.org/internationa...

My evolution as a runner continues to confound me. Approximately 8 years ago, I was doing a Couch to 5K program with @travelingtvi.bsky.social. Today, I just finished writing a marathon training plan for some other racers. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun #RunChat

Some of these changes I am OK with, but some I still dislike. However, I do hope that whenever MLB expansion comes that we don't get 4 divisions with 4 teams. IMO, shifting to 2 divisions per league with 8 teams each would be best.

And I'm still jealous that @travelingtvi.bsky.social got her photo with one of the mascots last spring at the Tokyo Marathon Expo while I was waiting in line for my bib.

Proving yet again that Nebraska IS a volleyball state! It won't draw the 90K that the Huskers did at Memorial Stadium, but it will be an absolutely outstanding event. www.ncaa.com/news/volleyb...

I know lots of runners aren't excited about strength training (and it's easy to push off), but man it makes a huge difference. #RunChat

I hit all my workouts this week, but I don't consider that a brag. It just means I'm consistent, which I'll take. #RunChat

A7: engaged. At least, it usually does. It's been more of a mental struggle since my move because due to safety issues, I run pretty much the same route every bleeping day. #RunChat

So key in life. Showing up and doing something is a million times better than all the people who won't do anything. #RunChat

A6: Pheidippides, Meb, and Bill Clinton (the man ran for Mickey D's). #RunChat

A5: Maybe I'm ignorant. Maybe I'm naïve. However, so far, I haven't faced a challenge I didn't think I could tackle. #RunChat

The pro/con relationship of quick tempo songs. #RunChat

I've never Jeff-ed a run/race (meaning with the intent to do it), but walk breaks can make a HUGE difference for people. #RunChat

IMO, this is such an important element to running. Sometimes you may have to walk, and that's 100% OK. You are not a lesser runner/person because that's what you needed to do. #RunChat

A4: Sometimes the key is just showing up. We can only control how WE react/act, so the best play is focusing on yourself and letting others do their own thing. #RunChat
