Shave #52 (1368 lifetime Open Blade Shaves) of 2026:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Schick Proline blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony knot synth brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Prada Luna Rossa to finish!

Up n at em early again. I think this is the…second(?) to last training run before race day…which sadly falls on a daylight savings day. Ugh.

Definitely getting baked goodies afterward. Chores later.

Chris, you need to come out to Tucson and run the Tucson marathon. It’s actually going on today.

It is a beautiful course along the Catalina mountains and it goes from 5000 feet down to about 2500 so a good elevations very popular event

Maybe one day, if they offer a half! I don’t see myself even getting to full marathon power 😂
 
Second to last training run before race day. Dialing back a bit to prepare.

Still slowly creeping towards my fundraising goal. Just under half way there!

It’s fundraising CRUNCH TIME for the Charity Half!

Just announced yesterday: Any runner who raises $500 or more between now and Sunday will receive a $500 matching “Angel Donor Boost”! How cool is that?!

That would give 20 people clean water for LIFE!

Will you help? Donate or spread the word!
