73- A, B, C Goals and Please Prove You Are Human Before Listening to This Episode

This week we’re covering everything from the sacred and highly specific rules of a Becca birthday to dump runs, bacon, roadside water hemlock, zebras, mushroom hunting, prosecco naps, and Jon successfully identifying a mushroom like a man who would now like that achievement entered into the permanent record. We also get into school, the absolute delight of having your own writing flagged as AI-generated, and the strange new reality where apparently sounding organized is grounds for suspicion. Then we turn toward ultrarunning, missing races, learning when not to do everything, and finally feeling ready to put some goals back on the calendar without immediately signing up for seventeen terrible ideas. We talk A, B, and C goals, getting back into training, Fierce Dragon, why races always seem to have perfect weather until we register for them, and, naturally, we close with an offer to take home one of our barn cats. Really, we’re providing a public service at this point.
