    Bronycon was great!

    Last year's was, that is. I didn't go this year. Next year I probably will though.

    This post brought to you by me noticing I hadn't made a blog post since Extended Bronycon Vacation. I did not go on a year long vacation, as disappointing as that is to report.

    Extended Bronycon Vacation

    Just in case anyone is wondering enough about where my comments are to come looking, I'm on vacation visiting family in the NYC area before Bronycon next weekend. It's kind of unfriendly to sit and read and comment on stuff instead of interacting with the people you flew across the country to visit, so I'll have a limited site presence at best for the next week or so.

    Another Half Marathon Down

    This time it was the OKC Memorial Marathon. Last year I did the full and the year before that the 5k, so it only made sense to do the half this year to complete the set, especially since I hadn't even remotely trained up enough this spring to be ready for the full.

    As in previous races, I text-to-speeched some pony fic chapters, this time the following:

    Some More Art

    This is a bit of a follow up to Another December Sunday Morning in Dallas. I was highly amused by the official race shirt, and when I managed to snag a commission slot from Sophie I knew what it had to be.

This last sunday... · 1:40am Dec 16th, 2014

I ran my first official half marathon. First official because I ran a few for practice last summer, but this was the first one at an actual race with an actual time and everything.

How is this related to ponies? Well, it isn't really (unless you count speech-to-text listening to the most recent chapters of Where Loyalties Lie: Ghosts of the Past, A Song of Storms: Summer Lands, and Wind and Stone), I just wanted to share. Incidentally, two and a half hours is just a bit less than enough time to listen to 9,905 + 14,533 + 9,799 words of pony fanfiction. Man, I really need to go leave comments on those three chapters, I'm like 15 days behind at this point.

Congrads man! Hoping to get there myself within the next two years.

A half-Marathon, you say?

Well, she's probably more like a "two-thirds Marathon".

I'm going to pony hell for this joke.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

That was horrible... That was just horrible in every way. I still have my fear that you're going to "cancel" that marathon. But congrats on the achievement.
